[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Gwak Yong-hwan, the governor of Goryeong County, Gyeongbuk, joined the condemnation relay on the 23rd regarding Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant contaminated water discharge into the ocean, urging the withdrawal of the radioactive nuclear wastewater ocean discharge.

This relay challenge began as a protest against the Japanese government's announcement on April 13 that "Fukushima nuclear power plant contaminated water will be discharged into the nearby ocean over 30 years starting from 2023."

Governor Gwak Yong-hwan, nominated by Go Yoon-hwan, mayor of Mungyeong City, held a placard opposing the Fukushima nuclear power plant contaminated water ocean discharge and delivered a message urging its withdrawal.

Governor Gwak emphasized, "Discharging radioactive contaminated water from the nuclear power plant into the sea is an act that seriously threatens the lives of our people and the safety of the entire world. The Japanese government must immediately withdraw its discharge decision."
