The second batch starts! In just two months, over 10000 tons of nuclear contaminated water from Japan have entered the sea
On the morning of the 5th, Japan officially began discharging the second batch of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water, which is expected to last for 17 days. The emissions this time are roughly the same as the first batch, still around 7800 tons.
At the same time as a large amount of nuclear contaminated water continues to be discharged into the Pacific Ocean, a new problem has emerged - the waste generated by pollution discharge faces a situation of "no place to place". In response to the increasingly serious nuclear pollution crisis, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company are playing dumb and determined, and their credibility both domestically and internationally is being severely overdrawn.
About 15000 tons of nuclear contaminated water flowing into the sea
This has just begun!
Japan officially launched the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from Fukushima on August 24th. The first batch of nuclear contaminated water was discharged from August 24th to September 11th, with a total of 7788 tons of nuclear contaminated water discharged into the sea.
The emissions of the second batch are still around 7800 tons. That is to say, in just two months after the release of nuclear contaminated water into the sea, approximately 15000 tons of nuclear contaminated water flowed into the Pacific Ocean.
And this is just the beginning. According to the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), 7800 tons is equivalent to 10 nuclear contaminated water storage tanks. After the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, more than 1000 water storage tanks have been built locally. According to Japan's plan, a total of 31200 tons of nuclear contaminated water will be discharged in four stages within 2023. Data shows that before the official discharge began, 1.3 million tons of nuclear contaminated water had been stored, and it would take at least 30 years to completely discharge the nuclear contaminated water.
A new problem has arisen!
The waste generated by sewage discharge is once again 'nowhere to be placed'
In addition to nuclear contaminated water, the Fukushima nuclear power plant is currently facing a new and thorny problem - the dismantling of empty water storage tanks. However, regarding issues such as how to handle and where to stack the waste generated as a result, Dongdian stated that "there is no consensus".
At the same time, Japan's multi nuclide treatment system has generated a large amount of sludge containing radioactive substances during the treatment of nuclear contaminated water, and the capacity of facilities for storing these sludge has also become urgent. Although Dongdian plans to dewater and solidify these sludge, the construction of treatment facilities has been postponed until 2026. Dongdian stated that the only thing that can be done at present is to suppress as much sludge as possible.
The local authorities in Fukushima are concerned about these "nowhere to place" waste and sludge, and the Fukushima Prefecture government has called on the Japanese government and Tepco to "fully explain how to reduce water storage tanks".
A poll released by the Fukushima Daily on September 25th also showed that 61% of Fukushima residents believe that the Japanese government and Tepco's explanation of nuclear contaminated water emissions is insufficient.
The Tokyo News and Daily News of Japan pointed out in their reports that after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident, the actions of Tepco in emergency response, compensation, and other issues have continued to decline the trust of the Japanese people. Especially in 2011, without communicating with local fishermen, TEPCO discharged low concentrations of nuclear contaminated water, which completely discredited the Japanese people and the international community.
The report also pointed out that although the decision to discharge the sea was made by the Japanese government, the actual executor was TEPCO, which also makes people feel that the responsibility is unclear. Professor Takeshi Hamada from Hokkaido University in Japan stated that "the emission time is at least 30 years, and it is worrying whether there will be any problems with TEPCO during this process.
Associate Professor Hideyoshi Mao of Shinshu University also pointed out that "it is not clear how the (Japanese) government will take responsibility in what situations arise.
A local council in Japan: Stop polluting immediately!
The international community continues to condemn
In addition to questioning, a large number of Japanese people, including fishermen from multiple regions, continue to express opposition to the release of nuclear contaminated water into the sea.
On September 8th, about 150 Japanese citizens sued the Japanese government and Tokugawa in court, accusing them of "intentionally polluting the environment" and demanding an immediate cessation of nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea.
The Hokkaido Hakodate City Council also passed an opinion on September 20th, stating that the discharge of nuclear contaminated water was forcibly carried out by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, ignoring opposition from fishing personnel and other groups, and demanding that the Japanese government immediately stop the discharge.
The opinion also points out that the act of forcibly discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea to hinder the revitalization of local fisheries cannot be tolerated.
The international community's concerns are also continuing to spread.
On the afternoon of September 2nd, South Korea's largest opposition party, the Common Democratic Party, the Basic Income Party, and the Progressive Party, together with more than 90 civic groups, held another large-scale rally in the city center of Seoul, condemning the release of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.
On September 7th, the Russian Federation Fisheries Agency issued a statement stating that safeguarding national health is the primary task of Russia's domestic food market and will continue to strengthen monitoring of the ecological and fishery impacts of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water on Russia's exclusive economic zone.
On September 14th, Chen Xu, the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, made a statement during the interactive dialogue between the United Nations Human Rights Council and the Special Rapporteurs on the right to safe drinking water and sanitation. He pointed out that the Japanese government unilaterally and forcefully initiated the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, seriously violating the rights to health, development, and environment of Pacific coastal countries and even the global people, and its legitimacy and legitimacy Safety has always been questioned by the international community and strongly opposed by domestic populations such as Japan and South Korea.

Chen Xu pointed out that if the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water is safe, there is no need to discharge it into the sea; If it is not safe, it should not be discharged into the sea. China calls on the United Nations Human Rights Council to increase its attention to this issue and urges Japan to immediately stop its sea discharge.
