China News Service, Beijing, November 11 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) In response to the detection of cesium 137, a radioactive substance originating from the Fukushima nuclear accident in the Arctic Ocean, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin responded at a regular press conference on the 11th, which once again shows Japan The disposal of nuclear contaminated water in Fukushima is related to the global marine ecological environment and public health, and is by no means a private matter of the Japanese family. Unless it has fully negotiated and reached an agreement with stakeholders and relevant international institutions, Japan shall not initiate the discharge of nuclear contaminated water without authorization.

A reporter asked a question. According to Kyodo News, researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan recently released research results saying that the radioactive substance cesium 137 that flowed into the ocean during the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2011 reached the west coast of the United States and moved northward through the Bering Sea in the northernmost part of the Pacific. After 7 to 8 years, it will return to the northeastern coast of Japan. At the same time, cesium-137 originating from the Fukushima nuclear accident was also detected in the Arctic Ocean. What is China’s comment?

Wang Wenbin said that the latest research results of Japanese experts show that the radioactive materials produced by the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan have spread throughout the North Pacific and even affected the Arctic Ocean. Previous international authoritative research reports have shown that the coast of Fukushima has the strongest ocean currents in the world. If the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water is discharged into the sea, the radioactive substances in it will spread to the global waters after several years.

“This once again shows that the disposal of nuclear contaminated water in Fukushima, Japan is related to the global marine ecological environment and public health. It is by no means a private matter of the Japanese family.” The opening speech pointed out that it is necessary to strictly deal with acts that damage the marine environment such as the discharge of nuclear polluted water in accordance with the law, so that the blue planet will always be clear and clear, and the blue sea and blue sky will be left for future generations. We urge the Japanese side to listen carefully to the concerns of neighboring countries and the international community, and to take a responsible attitude to the marine environment and human health to revoke the wrong decision to discharge nuclear-polluted water into the ocean. Unless it has fully negotiated and reached an agreement with stakeholders and relevant international institutions, Japan shall not initiate the discharge of nuclear contaminated water without authorization.
