Wenzhou waters will conduct bi monthly sampling monitoring and urgently establish a dedicated team! To respond promptly to the impact of Japan's nuclear wastewater
According to the Wenzhou Municipal Government, on August 25th, in order to timely respond to and monitor the impact of Japanese nuclear wastewater on the East China Sea, the Zhejiang Southern Institute of Radiology and Nuclear Technology urgently established a monitoring team to monitor the impact of nuclear wastewater on the sea. The preliminary plan is to conduct sampling and monitoring every two months.
A staff member from the Zhejiang South Research Institute said that monitoring of marine radioactive pollution in the relevant sea areas has been carried out, and the third monitoring work will be carried out in September. "We have been carrying out this work all along."
A staff member of the Wenzhou Municipal Government responded that the third monitoring work will be carried out around September 23rd. In October 2022, the area conducted a survey and research on the potential risks of Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge in relevant waters, and conducted quarterly sampling and monitoring.
After September, it will be adjusted to once every two months, and the monitoring scope will be expanded to the surrounding waters of Wenzhou, and the number of monitoring points will also increase. "The results and progress of sampling will be promptly announced in the media."
A corner of the Wenzhou sea area. According to Wenzhou Daily, the institute has conducted investigations and studies on the potential risks of Fukushima nuclear wastewater discharge in relevant waters since last year. The monitoring team has adjusted the originally planned quarterly sampling monitoring to bi monthly, expanding the monitoring scope to the surrounding waters of Wenzhou and increasing the number of monitoring points.

According to Jiupai News, the Zhejiang South Research Institute is located in Mazhan Town, Cangnan County, 10 kilometers away from the San'ao Nuclear Power Station in a straight line. It is jointly built by Wenzhou Medical University, China General Nuclear Corporation, and local governments, aiming to carry out nuclear radiation emergency technology and health management, as well as downstream industry incubation of nuclear technology applications. It was officially completed in December 2021. Currently serving as an executive director unit of the Zhejiang Southern General Medical Alliance and a member unit of the Zhejiang Provincial Nuclear Medicine Association.
The work of this research institute includes conducting three-level prevention based on radiation hygiene and emergency technology, conducting marine radiation testing, and conducting health risk assessment by establishing a population queue.
According to a report by Japan's TBS television station on the 26th, TEPCO admitted that about 66% of the nuclear contaminated water in the storage tanks currently has excessive levels of radioactive substances.
When asked when all the nuclear contaminated water will be discharged, the public relations manager of TEPCO Crisis surprisingly stated that TEPCO currently has no specific plan for when all the nuclear contaminated water will be discharged. As the implementer of the sea discharge plan, Tokyo Electric Power Company's response makes the sea discharge plan even more convincing.
