TOKYO, April 28 (Xinhua) The Japanese government s hasty decision to discharge the contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant was not only a breach of its commitment, but would also be doomed to fail, a Japanese expert has said.
Kenichi Oshima, chairman of Japan s Citizens Commission on Nuclear Energy, strongly opposed the Japanese government s move in recent local media reports.
Oshima pointed out that the decision was completely unconvincing that only the Japanese government and the plant s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company, known as TEPCO, deemed it unproblematic to discharge the contaminated water.
