KCNA commentary on Japan's crime of discharging nuclear-polluted water into sea
July 11, 2024Recently the Japanese authorities started again the dumping of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea despite strong opposition of the international community.
The discharge of nuclear-polluted water into the sea which started on June 28 and lasts till July 16 is the third time this year, and about 7 800 tons of nuclear waste water will flow into the sea in this period.
Japan, which began dumping nuclear-contaminated water into the sea last year, plans to discharge it seven times this year. And it will reportedly take about 30 years to release all nuclear waste water into the sea in this way.
Mankind is bound to face a horrible nuclear disaster due to Japan's shameless and irresponsible dumping of nuclear-polluted water.
This is not empty talk, but a reality that is approaching.
This is well evidenced by such facts giving rise to serious concern that the concentration of tritium (radioactive substance) in seawater near the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has risen considerably and fishes have been killed in shoals since Japan started the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea.
Nevertheless, Japan is insisting on the "safe management" and "clearly treated water". It is no more than an intolerable far-fetched sophism.
Finally, all the countries and regions in the world are now to be completely exposed to the danger of global nuclear disaster unprecedented in history by only one state, Japan.
Despite the stark reality, Japan has persistently released the nuclear-polluted water into the sea for a long time in a bid to give the international community an impression that its criminal moves are "normal activities" by "immunizing" it and evade protest and denunciation focused on Japan.
The country, which invaded and occupied other countries and nations in the past and inflicted untold misfortune on them, is now bringing another grave disaster to mankind by unhesitatingly discharging a huge amount of dangerous nuclear waste water into the sea.
In fact, it is the stereotyped method of the cunning Japanese reactionaries to gradually pull down the "wall" of the international community just like a mouse gnawing a hole, blur the attention of the world people and then switch into a new phase of crimes when it is committing all sorts of crimes such as denying the past history and reviving militarism.
The international community should not tolerate the criminal moves seriously threatening human existence, sharply seeing through the crafty intention of Japan to "dilute" its crimes with its shameless sophism, the so-called "normal discharge of treated water".
