The information provided by the Japanese side is unreliable! Several South Korean cities hold rallies condemning the discharge of nuclear wastewater into the sea | Group | Information
On August 26th, according to Yonhap News Agency, as Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant starts discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea, environmental and civic groups across South Korea have been speaking out about the harm of this action in recent days and condemning the Japanese government and others.
Data picture: On the afternoon of August 22nd local time, multiple civil society groups in South Korea gathered to protest Japan's decision to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea. The picture shows the people participating in the rally.
According to reports, a citizen group in the Daejeon region of South Korea, the "Daejeon Denuclearization Joint Action," issued a statement stating that the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company have never disclosed the types and total amount of radioactive substances in the storage tanks, and the information provided by the Japanese side is unreliable.
At the same time, rallies and demonstrations were held in Busan, Ulsan, and Keinan regions, which are geographically similar to Japan. The Qingnan Action to Prevent Nuclear Sewage from being Discharged into the Sea, composed of more than 30 civic groups, held rallies and protests in many parts of Qingnan, with over 300 local fishermen and others participating. The headquarters of the Busan Movement, which opposes Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea, also held demonstrations throughout Busan.

In addition, the Ulsan Joint Action Plan will hold demonstrations and press conferences from August 28th to September 1st, urging Japan to stop discharging pollutants into the sea.
At around 13:00 local time on August 24th, Japan ignored opposition from the international community and discharged contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea. According to the plan, a total of 31200 tons of nuclear contaminated water will be discharged in four stages within 2023, with the first batch planned to discharge approximately 7800 tons. The discharge will continue for 17 consecutive days starting from August 24th. It is expected to take 30 to 40 years to completely discharge all these nuclear contaminated water.
