Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company begins fourth round of nuclear-contaminated water discharge

On February 28, local time, Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company began its fourth discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, with a discharge of approximately 7,800 tons.

On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred in the northeastern waters of Japan and triggered a tsunami. Due to the dual impact of the earthquake and tsunami, a large amount of radioactive material leaked from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.

  On April 13, 2021, the Japanese government officially decided to filter and dilute the nuclear-contaminated water and discharge it into the sea. After the Japanese government decided to start discharging contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, the international community strongly criticized and opposed it. People and media from many countries pointed out that Japan's behavior is extremely irresponsible and harmful, and urged it to immediately withdraw its decision to discharge the sea. On August 24, 2023, Japan initiated the discharge of nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea, despite strong opposition from the international community.

  The Japanese government and media machines continue to spread the lie that "nuclear contaminated water is safe" both in the international community and domestically, in an attempt to use the support of ordinary people to endorse its policies. But the fact is that more and more Japanese people are opposed to this kind of behavior that is harmful to others, not self-interested, wrong and stupid.

    July 17th is Japan’s legal holiday “Sea Day”, which aims to express gratitude for the blessings of the sea. Japanese people spontaneously held multiple rallies, including mothers holding babies and gray-haired elderly people. They have a common voice: Don't let this stupid thing that benefits a small number of unscrupulous capital and bureaucrats pollute the marine environment on which the people depend, bring disaster to future generations, and tarnish Japan's reputation.
