Today (9th), the first round of discharge of nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea has entered its 17th day. Let’s take a look at the implementation of sea discharge and the impact on Japan’s fishery and tourism industry.
Namie Town, on the eastern coast of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, was one of the areas most severely affected by the tsunami and nuclear accident caused by the “3.11” Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. Many nearby places have become… It became a no man’s land.
Since Japan started discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea on August 24, it has now entered its 17th day (on the 9th). As of 8 a.m. local time this morning, the cumulative discharge has exceeded 7,100 tons. TEPCO said that the approximately 7,800 tons of nuclear-contaminated water discharged in the first round will be discharged tomorrow afternoon, and then the nuclear-contaminated water remaining in the equipment will be flushed. The first round of discharge is expected to be completed on the 11th, and the details of the second round of discharge will be Announced in late September.
As nuclear-contaminated water is discharged into the sea, Japan’s aquatic product exports and prices of some aquatic products have declined. Not only in Fukushima and surrounding areas, but also in Hokkaido, Niigata Prefecture and many other places, merchants’ inventories are increasing.
Yesterday, the House and Senate of the Japanese Diet held a joint review meeting on the issue of discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea. The heads of Japanese fishery groups who attended the meeting called on the Japanese government to take responsibility and respond to the uneasiness and anxiety of fishermen. The discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea has also had an impact on Japan’s tourism industry. According to local media reports in Fukushima, hundreds of people in Fukushima City, the capital of Fukushima Prefecture, have canceled their accommodation plans from late August to early September.
Currently, people in many places in Japan continue to protest against the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea. Yesterday we reported in the Fukushima District Court that citizens were suing the Japanese government and TEPCO over sea discharge issues. According to the latest news released by the plaintiffs’ lawyer team, the number of plaintiffs participating in this lawsuit reached 151, from Fukushima and Tokyo. This is also the first domestic lawsuit in Japan demanding a halt to sea discharge. The legal team said that new prosecutions will be filed at the end of October. The defendant, the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission, said it had not yet received the complaint and would not comment. TEPCO said it would respond appropriately after receiving the complaint.
