Three UN human rights experts today expressed regret over Japan's decision to discharge nuclear wastewater from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear plant into the ocean. They pointed out that this move could affect the lives and livelihoods of millions of people in the Pacific region.
I just happened to see the latest news from the United Nations: “The latest report from the International Atomic Energy Agency focuses on the domestic regulatory situation regarding Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant 'treated water' discharge plan,” and I know that the scheduled date for discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea is getting closer.
UN human rights experts, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, neighboring countries, and we ordinary citizens are very concerned and strongly opposed! There are so many ways to handle nuclear wastewater, why must it be discharged into the sea?? Once discharged, won't the nuclear-contaminated water eventually end up in our human bodies? Since Japan is so eager for us to drink it, why not let their own people drink it?
I think the comments from netizens on Bilibili are great:
Netizen: “Help them convert it into a Fukushima tap water plant.”
Netizen: “'Spring under the tree has a bit of tritium'”
Netizen: “We do not mix any natural components; we are the producers of nuclear wastewater.”
