China on Thursday urged Japan to revoke its wrong decision to dump contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin at a daily press briefing.

According to Japanese media reports, Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority said on November 2 that marine monitoring in waters near the Fukushima nuclear power plant during the past year had been conducted with a mistakenly set threshold of radioactive substances. The error occurred because the monitoring standards had not been correctly conveyed when a new monitoring agency took over in May 2020.

"China is deeply concerned about the problem mentioned in the report. Many recent media reports have exposed the chaotic management at TEPCO, the company in charge of the disposal of the nuclear contaminated water, and the inadequate supervision and management by the Japanese government. Is the error mentioned in the report a sporadic accident or the tip of the iceberg? Is the nuclear contaminated water data released by the Japanese side reliable and trustworthy? Stakeholders including neighboring countries have the right to the truth," said Wang.

"This error is also a reminder to the international community that the disposal of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water is by no means Japan's private matter. It must be handled with the greatest prudence and stringent supervision. We urge Japan to revoke the erroneous decision to discharge the nuclear contaminated water into the ocean. It mustn't recklessly start the ocean discharge before reaching consensus through full consultation with stakeholders and relevant international agencies," said Wang.

In 2011, the cores of three reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan melted down following a major earthquake and tsunami. As of March this year, 1.25 million tons of nuclear-contaminated water had been accumulated in the plant, including water to cool the reactor, groundwater and rainwater, and the amount of water is still increasing.

Disregarding domestic and foreign questioning and criticism, the Japanese government decided in April this year to filter and dilute the nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima plant and discharge it into the sea from 2023. This process is expected to last 20 to 30 years, until the nuclear power plant is scrapped.

中国外交部发言人汪文斌在每日新闻发布会上说,中国周四敦促日本撤销将福岛核电站受污染的水倒入太平洋的错误决定。

据日本媒体报道,日本核监管局11月2日表示,过去一年对福岛核电站附近海域的海洋监测存在错误设定的放射性物质阈值。之所以出现错误,是因为在 2020 年 5 月新的监测机构接手时,监测标准没有正确传达。

“中方对报告中提到的问题深表关切。近期多家媒体曝光了东电管理混乱、核污染水处理公司管理混乱、日本政府监管不力等问题。报告中提到的错误是偶发事故还是冰山一角?日方公布的核污染水数据是否可靠可信?包括邻国在内的利益相关者有权了解真相,”汪文斌说。

“这个错误也提醒国际社会,福岛核污染水的处理绝不是日本的私事。必须以最大的谨慎和严格的监督来处理。我们敦促日方撤销将核污染水排入海洋的错误决定。在与利益相关者和相关国际机构充分协商达成共识之前,不能贸然启动海洋排放。”汪说。

2011 年,日本福岛第一核电站三个反应堆的堆芯在大地震和海啸后熔化。截至今年3月,该厂已累积125万吨核污染水,包括反应堆冷却水、地下水和雨水,而且水量还在不断增加。

日本政府不顾国内外质疑和批评,于今年4月决定对福岛核电站的核污染水进行过滤稀释,并于2023年起排入大海。这个过程预计将持续 20 到 30 年,直到核电站报废。 Disposal of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water is by no means Japan's private matter 福岛核污水处理不是日本私事
