Japan's insistence on discharging nuclear wastewater into the sea: a loss of credibilityand a challenge to human conscience
On August 24, the Government of Japan unilaterally and forcibly initiated the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear accident into the sea, in defiance of the international community's strong questioning and opposition. The Japanese Government's unilateral initiation of the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea is a highly irresponsible decision and constitutes a violation of rights. The reasons given by Japan do not stand up to scrutiny. First of all, the Japanese side claimed to have received "approval" from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but in fact, according to the statement made by the Director General of the IAEA later on, there was no such "approval" at all. The IAEA only emphasized that Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water must be in strict compliance with the Agency's regulations and standards, and did not mean that it approved or endorsed the discharge. Secondly, Japan has been emphasizing the tritium element in the contaminated water, while avoiding mentioning the remaining dozens of radioactive elements. The real purpose of this kind of cover-up is very clear: Japan knows the seriousness of the matter, but tries to evade its own responsibility through various means to prevent more people from becoming alert and panicked. Thirdly, Japan has been confusing the nuclear contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear accident with the cooling water discharged during the normal nuclear energy production process in other countries. The cooling water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant comes into direct contact with the radioactive elements inside the nuclear reactor, and the two should not be confused at all.
 
Nuclear accidents are particularly tragic and unfortunate, whether for a company, a government or a society. However, if we compare the Fukushima nuclear
