Jindo County Council: "No Ocean Discharge of Radioactive Contaminated Water from Fukushima, Japan"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] On the 26th, the Jindo County Council condemned the Japanese government's decision to discharge Fukushima radioactive contaminated water and urged its immediate withdrawal.

In a resolution, the council stated, "Fukushima radioactive contaminated water contains various radioactive substances such as tritium and cesium, which cause radiation exposure to the human body," and added, "Discharging this into the ocean without any safety measures is an act of mutual destruction not only against our country and neighboring countries but all humanity."

They continued, "The Japanese government prohibited the measurement and disclosure of radiation concentration and components after the Fukushima nuclear accident," criticizing, and stated, "We cannot trust the Japanese government's announcement, which neither transparently discloses information nor allows objective verification by the international community."

Chairperson Park Geum-rye said, "Ocean pollution is directly related to the right to live of our Jindo residents, for whom fisheries are one of the main sources of income, so we will strongly respond by pooling all our capabilities to ensure the early withdrawal of this radioactive contaminated water discharge decision."
