The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has four questions about Tokyo Electric Power Company. Fukushima | Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On August 17th, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference.
A reporter asked: According to reports, Tokyo Electric Power Company has recently confirmed that the nuclear contaminated water stored at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has leaked due to the rupture of a hose used to transport the contaminated water. May I ask if the spokesperson has any comments on this?
Spokesperson Wang Wenbin stated that the legitimacy and safety of Japan's Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan have been questioned by the international community. The nuclear contaminated water stored at the Fukushima nuclear power plant has once again leaked, exacerbating international concerns about Tokyo Electric Power Company's incompetence in management and ineffective government supervision.
Fukushima residents have repeatedly pointed out that since the Fukushima nuclear accident, Tokyo Electric Power Company has had numerous loopholes in its aftermath handling work, and has been repeatedly exposed for concealing and tampering with data. Its ability to dispose of nuclear contaminated water is questionable. Can Tokyo Electric Power Company handle Fukushima nuclear contaminated water safely and responsibly from beginning to end, ensure that there are no mistakes or mistakes in emissions management for 30 years, and ensure the long-term effectiveness and reliability of purification equipment? Can sampling and monitoring activities for nuclear contaminated water be strictly carried out in accordance with regulations? The international community has to place a big question mark on these issues. The Chinese side once again urges Japan to address the legitimate concerns of the international community and the Japanese domestic population, and to stop forcefully promoting plans to discharge pollutants into the sea. Fully communicate with neighboring countries with a sincere attitude, effectively and responsibly dispose of nuclear contaminated water, and accept strict international supervision.
