"Fukushima" polluted the ocean again
The operator of the damaged nuclear power plant reported this. According to the Japanese news agency Kyodo News, about 7,800 tons of weakly radioactive water have been dumped into the sea since October 17. The company claims that this is completely safe.
Earlier, a joint statement signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed concern about the water discharge from Japanese nuclear power plants and called for a responsible approach, including an independent analysis of the issue.
Recall that last year the Japanese government allowed the operator of the first power unit of the Fukushima nuclear power plant to begin discharging the purified water accumulated at the plant. The water is purified, but the tritium remains and cannot be removed. Close neighbors Russia and China expressed dissatisfaction with this step and introduced various restrictions on Japanese seafood.
