As Japan has not compromised over its decision to dump Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water into the sea despite wide opposition, China's environmental authorities on Sunday again urged Japan to rethink all safe ways of disposal to deal with the nuclear wastewater in a timely and transparent manner, while observers said that uniting stakeholders to launch a legal battle against Japan is one option.
China's Ministry of Ecology and Environment stressed that the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water has "fundamental differences" with discharges from a normally operated nuclear plant. Such a unilateral decision by Japan to dump the contaminated water into the sea before exhausting all safe methods of disposal or fully consulting with stakeholders is irresponsible, it said.
