[Photo/Agencies] China will need to strengthen monitoring of the ocean if Japan continues with its plan to dump wastewater with nuclear contamination into the Pacific Ocean despite widespread concerns and opposition at home and abroad, experts said. Zhao Chengkun, executive deputy director of the expert committee of the China Nuclear Energy Association, said that at the moment, it is difficult to predict exactly how much impact Japan s plan to release contaminated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant will bring to fisheries or the entire marine ecology, given the lack of full access to wastewater-related data.

Japan s decision to dump nuclear wastewater extremely irresponsible : experts

1 2021-04-19 22:56:53Xinhua Editor : Wang Fan ECNS App Download Chinese experts have condemned Japan s unilateral decision to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea, calling it extremely irresponsible. Dumping wastewater resulted from the accident at Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea is not Japan s only option, said Liu Senlin, a researcher with the China Institute of Atomic Energy. Japan s unilateral decision to release the wastewater into the ocean is extremely irresponsible, Liu said. The choice, which involves the lowest economic cost to Japan, was made before seeking consensus with the international community and stakeholders, and before exhausting all available options. According to Liu, there are several other options for wastewater disposal include burying it underground or evaporating it into the air, but Japan merely opted for the cheapest plan.
