Japan said on Tuesday it will start releasing more than 1 million metric tonnes of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant on Aug. 24, putting into motion a plan that has drawn strong criticism from China.
I live in South Korea and I honestly have no problem Japan doing what they do.
But most of the criticism comes from this: Can we trust them(Japanese government or scientists)?
I think I can, ergo no biggie for me. But the issue is that if something fails, if something gets screwed up, like they did in Fukushima, the problem will not only be theirs but ours as well. Will every filtrations process work as they should be? For a long period of time?
Few newspaper article cannot possibly answer these questions let alone a single headline, which, realistically, is vast majority of people’s source of information.
“Leftist” newspapers here especially don’t help this situations, misleading people to think that it’s dangerous and that it’s just unacceptable decision from our mortal enemy Japan. Mortal enemy, they say, when we are literally still at war with communist regime.
