The Korean Atomic Energy Society has decided to dilute treated water containing radioactive substances such as tritium from TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to a concentration below the national standard and release it into the sea. He announced that the impact would be minor.
This month, the government decided to dilute the treated water containing radioactive substances such as tritium, which continues to increase at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, to a concentration below the national standard and release it into the sea.
The Korean Atomic Energy Society announced its opinion on this on the 26th, and even if all the amount currently stored at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is released for one year, "the exposure dose of the Korean people can be ignored. It's a level. The impact is small. "
According to the academic society, "Most Korean media reports that fuel the fear of radiation. The society hopes that the fear of excessive radiation and distrust of marine products will be resolved."
In addition, the academic society urges the Korean government to refrain from political and emotional responses and solve problems based on scientific facts, while the Japanese government does not provide sufficient information and explanations to the Korean side. He regretted that he decided to release it.
Concerns have been raised by the media and civic groups in South Korea, and the Korean government says, "We will give top priority to the health and safety of the people and take necessary measures in cooperation with the international community." I will.
