　　According to reports, Tokyo Electric Power Company is discussing whether to discharge nuclear sewage directly from the port of the plant into the sea, or to lay a pipeline on the seabed to discharge it to the open sea.

　　In these two methods, when other nuclear power plants discharge tritium-containing wastewater, they mostly use pipelines to discharge them from the open sea.

　　As for the method of discharge from the port of the factory, the current main target is the tritium-containing groundwater drawn near the buildings of the factory, and it will be discharged into the sea in this way after confirming that it is below the safety standard.

　　Tokyo Electric Power Company will decide on specific emission methods after listening to the opinions of local governments and fishery practitioners, hoping to obtain permission from the Japan Atomic Regulatory Commission.

　　Regarding the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea, the Japanese government received many petitions from fishery practitioners who felt that the explanation was insufficient, and held a briefing in Fukushima Prefecture. Many people on the scene expressed objections.

　　In connection with this, the South Korean government has proposed to the Japanese government the idea of ​​holding bilateral consultations on the issue of nuclear sewage discharge into the sea.

If the two countries negotiate and decide to hold it, it is expected that the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and other departments in charge of waste furnace operations in Japan will join.

　　According to a Japanese and South Korean diplomatic source, because South Korean society is strongly worried about Japan’s preparations to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea, there is a proposal that the South Korean government should set up a consultation organization for the exchange of opinions between the two sides. Discuss security issues from a perspective.
