(Tokyo Composite Electric) According to reports, at 12 noon on Thursday (August 24), Singapore, Japan is expected to officially start a plan to discharge the nuclear waste water processed by the Fukushima first nuclear power plant into the sea.
Dongdian: After the nuclear treatment water test is qualified, discharge from the 24th
Tokyo Electric Power Corporation's documents show that from Thursday to March 2024, it will perform four treatment of water emissions, each emissions is 7,800 cubic meters.The first emissions take about 17 days.It is expected to discharge of about 312,000 tons in 2023, with a total of 5 trillion Becquerl.
Dongdian said on the eve of the scheduled emissions that it is doing the final preparation, including diluted a cubic meter nuclear waste water with about 1200 cubic meters of sea water on Tuesday (22nd), and will handle water into the pipeline.
Dongdian statement said that these water will be tested first, and it will be discharged into the Pacific Ocean from Thursday after determining the standard.
Japanese media said that the emission work will begin around 1 pm local time (Singapore 12 noon), but Dongdian refuses to confirm these reports.
The large earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 caused the three reactors of the Fukushima First Nuclear Power Station to melt.Since then, Dongdian has collected 1.34 million cubic meters of nuclear waste water and groundwater and rainwater for cooling reactors, which is enough to fill 540 Olympic standard swimming pools.
Dongdian said that the processing water that will be discharged into the sea has been filtered out of all radioactive nucleo except Tritium through special systems, and the content of the cricket will be much lower than the level released in the normal operation of the nuclear power plant.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has approved Japan's plan and will send personnel to the site to supervise and discharge work on Thursday.
Japan's drainage plan has triggered domestic and foreign disputes
Japan's drainage plan has caused controversy at home and abroad.In Japan, fishermen's opposition has the greatest opposition and is worried that the livelihood will be hit.
In South Korea, although many people expressed concerns and protests, the South Korean government seeking to improve relations with Japan did not oppose it.
The South Korean government said on Wednesday (23rd) that the Japanese party promised to set up a special website to disclose the emission related data per hour. It is expected that after the discharge starts, the website will be launched immediately.
Yonhap News Agency reported that the information disclosed on the website includes the value detection detector value set in the transportation equipment, upstream water sinks, water intakes and other facilities, and the amount of sewage volume, seawater pump flow, etc. from the storage tanks that measure the concentration from filtering nucleo, etc.Essence
South Korean Prime Minister Han Yan said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be prepared at all times. Once the discharge does not meet the standard, it will immediately file a lawsuit with the International Court.
Following the Pacific Island Country State of the Pacific Island of Japan or Views differently
The Pacific Island Country pays attention to Japan's drainage plan.This area was a nuclear military test site in Western countries in the 20th century.
Fiji Prime Minister Labcca and Cook Islands Prime Minister Brown said they believe that IAEA's evaluation report, that is, the Fukushima nuclear treatment water discharged in Japan meet international security standards.
Brown said in a statement issued on Wednesday: "This is not an easy decision, because I will never support unsafe and dangerous nuclear dumping. I believe that emissions meet international security standards."
However, Brown, who is also the chairman of the Pacific Island Forum, said that not all leaders of the Pacific region hold the same position. It is expected that the Pacific Island Forum for the Pacific Island State Forum on Thursday cannot reach an unanimous view on this issue.
