Democratic Party escalates offensive against Japan's water release
Korea HeraldAPR 2023
The ocean release of Fukushima water is the most realistic and safe option available to improve the environment surrounding Fukushima's nuclear plant. The Japanese government is doing its utmost to ensure people's safety, including diluting the treated water with seawater to bring the tritium concentration well below internationally approved levels.
The Japanese government's decision to contaminate the ocean with large volumes of radioactive tritium-laden water damages the reputation of Fukushima's agricultural and fishing produce. In addition, by turning its back on the clear evidence that the "treated water" still contains harmful radionuclides, Japan has deliberately put marine and human life at risk of radiation exposure.
