A Korean video stating that the discharge of Fukushima contaminated water is safe appeared in a YouTube advertisement and is controversial.
According to YouTube users on the 1st, an advertisement containing the Japanese side's position regarding the discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima was played with subtitles in Korean with dubbing.
The video in question was posted on YouTube by the Japanese government in October of last year, and recently appeared randomly in YouTube advertisements, causing inconvenience to users.
In the video, "(Japan's) nuclear power plant decommissioning efforts have made it possible to work without protective clothing on 96% of the site," he said.
In addition, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretary-General Rafael Grossi appeared and said, "Controlled discharge of treated water to the sea is also routine at other nuclear power plants in the world."
Not only this.
In another Korean advertisement made by the Japan Agency for Reconstruction, they promoted the safety of Fukushima foods by saying, “I am surprised by the fresh fish of Fukushima” and “You are welcomed by the abundant ingredients of Fukushima.”
It is speculated that the video was made to dispel the controversy after the Japanese government announced last year that it was discharging contaminated water from Fukushima into the sea.
At that time, Japan said that it was safe by diluting the radioactive material in the contaminated water below the international standard and releasing it.
Most of the domestic netizens reacted unpleasantly, saying, "The issue of stability of Fukushima food and contaminated water is still a matter of debate."
According to YouTube's advertising policy, it has been announced that it is inappropriate to post advertisements on the 'controversial issue', but it is reported that YouTube has not made any position on Japan's unilateral 'advertising on the safety of contaminated water from Fukushima'. .
This is a 'news pick'.
