When the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) released a report that the plan to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan meets international safety standards, China expressed regret for the hasty report.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out yesterday (4th) that the IAEA report did not fully reflect the opinions of experts, and that the conclusions were not unanimously approved by experts, in a position posted on the website in the form of a spokesperson’s response to a reporter’s question.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized, “12 years ago, Japan received support from around the world for the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, but 12 years later, Japan chose to pass the risk of nuclear pollution on to all mankind.” Introducing the facts stipulating its obligations, it argued that “Japan’s actions violated its moral responsibility in the international community and its obligations under international law.”

“China repeatedly urges Japan to stop planning for ocean discharge of nuclear-contaminated water and effectively deal with it in a scientific, safe and transparent manner,” he said. ” he warned.
