Message from a Japanese lawmaker on the safety of releasing treated Fukushima water into the sea.
Hello, I’m Shun Otokita. A Japanese lawmaker of the House of Councillors.
I think some of you are really concerned that untreated radioactive water stored in Fukushima will be discharged into the ocean without proper treatment.
I would like to share with you that the quality of Fukushima’s treated water is as harmless as those of other nuclear power plants are currently discharging in the world.
Our technology is capable enough to reduce radioactive substances including tritium to the standard level.
And before discharging the treated water, safety assessments are carefully conducted.
Please access reliable source of information and refrain from spreading rumours! Thank you.
