Japan All Fisheries Federation: unchanged stance against Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea
On July 15th, according to Kyodo News Agency, on the 14th local time, Japanese Minister of Economy and Industry, Nishimura Yasuhiro, held talks with President of the National Fisheries Association of Japan, Yasushin Sakamoto, to seek understanding on the discharge into the sea. Yashin Sakamoto stated that his stance against the discharge of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the sea has not changed.
At present, the Japanese nuclear contaminated water discharge equipment has been completed. The report states that the Japanese government intends to concretize the launch period of the "summer before and after" plan for sea discharge, but has not yet gained the understanding of fishery personnel. "My only wish is to continue working in the fishing industry with peace of mind," said Yashin Sakamoto.
According to reports, on that day, in addition to the President and Vice President of the All Fisheries Federation, there were also officials from fishing organizations in Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, and Ibaraki counties attending the meeting. Yasushin Sakamoto stated that there were repeated calls at the meeting for the government to "effectively respond", believing that the response so far has not been sufficient.
Since the serious nuclear leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011, contaminated water has become one of the major challenges in post disaster treatment. Previously, the All Japan Fisheries Federation has repeatedly expressed its firm opposition to the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea.
