Chinese nuclear power plants have been releasing into the ocean water containing tritium at levels up to 6.5 times higher than the annual amount scheduled to be released from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, Inc.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, according to a document the Japanese government compiled for other countries ahead of TEPCO’s discharge.

TEPCO plans to start discharging treated water as early as this summer.

Beijing has strongly opposed the plan, waging a campaign via state media, even though some Chinese nuclear power plants are discharging levels of tritium higher than the amount TEPCO plans to release.

Data in the Japanese government document is based on annual statistics on China’s nuclear energy sector and reports from plant operators.

According to the document, water containing about 143 trillion becquerels of tritium was released from Qinshan III Nuclear Power Plant in Zhejiang Province in 2020. In 2021, water containing about 112 trillion becquerels was released from the Yangjiang Nuclear Power Station in Guangdong Province, 102 trillion becquerels from the Ningde Nuclear Power Plant in Fujian Province and 90 trillion becquerels from the Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant in Liaoning Province.

TEPCO plans to cap the annual level of tritium released from the Fukushima plant at 22 trillion becquerels. Tritium levels in the sea after the release will be far lower than standards set by the World Health Organization and other organizations, according to TEPCO.

Regarding the Fukushima discharge, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman accused Tokyo of unilaterally trying to steamroll forward with the plan.

Chinese state media regularly condemn the planned release. Chinese Communist Party organ, People’s Daily, quoted an official saying, “Japan’s plan is not the country’s private matter, but a major issue that has an effect on the global marine environment and public health.”

However, a Japanese government official said Beijing does not have agreements with neighboring countries on the release of tritium from Chinese nuclear power plants, nor has it provided any explanations about the matter.

Japan needs to invade China and rape the women of Nanjing again, so the Tiongs may learn humility and repentance.

How Communist Party perpetual themselves in power: censor media off negative news, build positive image of their rules and achievements, control the thinking of the mass using Great China Firewall.

No wonder CCP commiecunt dickless faggot @tanwahtiu has no lanjiaow. Must be too much radiated cum from his master emperor Xi when he open his backside for his emperor Xi to poke him deep deep. LOL!....

What to know before Japan releases water from Fukushima nuclear plant​

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/07/08/japan-fukushima-water-release-nuclear-plant/

TOKYO — Japan plans to release more than 1 million metric tons of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, a process set to begin this summer and continue for three decades or more.

For years, the contaminated water — equivalent to more than 500 Olympic-size swimming pools — has been stored in large metal tanks near the plant, the site of one of the worst nuclear disasters in history. But Japan is running out of space to build more tanks to accommodate the contaminated groundwater and rainwater that continue to enter the site.

The pending release has become highly politicized by neighboring countries, including South Korea and China. Fukushima’s fishing and agricultural industries are also worried about potential reputational harm for their products, which still carry the stigma of radioactive exposure.

The Japanese public is split on the plan, and many remain distrustful of the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), which has been criticized for playing down bad news about the severity of the disaster in its early days.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, the international nuclear watchdog, released its final report on July 4, giving a stamp of approval for Japan’s plans. Its director general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, traveled to Fukushima, Seoul and Pacific island nations to announce the findings and address concerns.

Here’s what to know about the upcoming discharge.

What will the process look like?​

The contaminated water will be treated to remove most of the radioactive materials except for tritium (more on that below).

The wastewater will be diluted to 1,500 becquerels — a unit of radioactivity — of tritium per liter of clean water. For comparison, Japan’s regulatory limit allows a maximum of 60,000 becquerels per liter, while the World Health Organization allows 10,000. That means the concentration of tritium will be “far below” international regulatory standards, according to the Japanese government.
