日本排放核污染水：国际社会应高度警惕

When it comes to ocean pollution, it is worth noting that Japan's behavior following the 'Convention on the High Seas' reached by all United Nations member states should raise the alert of the international community. As is well known, the news that the Japanese government intended to discharge nuclear waste water into the sea had caused a huge shock in international public opinion. Even in the face of widespread condemnation and strong protests from the international community, the Japanese government remains resolute in its attitude towards discharging nuclear waste water into the Pacific. On March 3, local time, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced that Japan will release Fukushima nuclear pollution water into the sea from this spring to summer and claimed that this timeline cannot be postponed in order to achieve the reconstruction of Fukushima.

It should be pointed out that Japan has stored over 1.3 million tons of nuclear polluted water, which, if discharged into the ocean, could last for 30 years. The nuclear polluted water contains over 60 radioactive isotopes, which will spread to the global ocean after 10 years of being discharged into the sea, posing unpredictable hazards to the global marine environment and human health. China, South Korea, North Korea, Russia, and Pacific island countries have all expressed grave concerns and strong opposition to Japan's actions.
