The nuclear contaminated water you just heard contains a number of radioactive materials. Japan has said that cesium, plutonium, and other materials will be filtered out if not all. That's a problem, but the bigger problem is tritium. It's less dangerous than other substances, and I think it's going to be thrown into the ocean without any action.

What is tritium, or is it really okay, reporter Lee Kyung-won actually pointed out in the corner.

First, we looked at the current state of contaminated water in the Fukushima Depot.

This is a recent report from Tokyo Electric Power. What you see now is the amount of radioactive material and cesium. The amount of cesium before the red crab purification and the amount of cesium after the blue crab purification.

It is a Japanese unilateral claim, but once it is filtered out, it may fall below the standard.

Other than cesium, it was similar. By the way, if you look at the tritium, the baseline is 60,000 becquerels. We've crossed the threshold by 15 times. Tritium has no purification technology.

So, in Japan, "I'll make it clean somehow, but tritium doesn't have purification technology, but it's less poison.

So far, academics agree that tritium toxicity is weak. There are no reports of cancer like other radioactive materials.

Recently, the European Commission has objected.

"When tritium enters the body, tritium can seize the hydrogen site that constitutes DNA, and tritium slowly turns into helium, which has a fatal effect on DNA. Will.

I'd like to say what's right right now, but I'm also talking about the experts.

What is clear is that health issues need to be conservatively approached, but the Japanese government is not offering tritium.

If the discharge of polluted water becomes visible, give the Japanese government first the tritium countermeasure.
