The Democratic Party, which strongly supports the Moon Jae-in government’s post-nuclear power policy, aimed at the auditor as “shocking” over the detection of tritium, a radioactive substance, in the groundwater of the Wolseong nuclear power plant in Gyeongju, Gyeongbuk.
In the process of early closing of the first Wolseong nuclear power plant last year, the auditor, which conducted a large-scale audit, said that it was not able to filter out radioactive substances that are directly related to the health of the people.
Democratic Party representative Lee Nak-yeon said on the 11th, “It is difficult to understand the results of the audit of the Auditor, which has been auditing the Wolsong nuclear power plant for more than a year and has not confirmed the leak of radioactive material for the first time in history.” “This investigation has led to the inevitable closure of the Wolseong nuclear power plant due to aging facilities. It was confirmed again.”
Representative Lee raised the day at the party’s Supreme Council meeting, saying, “The fact that radioactive substances were detected in the groundwater was shocking in itself,” and “I am very curious about what (the auditor) was grateful for.”
He also criticized, “It was a truly irresponsible political battle,” saying, “Some have argued for the decision to close early and insisted that the operation of such bad nuclear power plants should be extended.”
In addition, Democratic Party leader Nak-yeon Lee attends the party’s Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 6th. Reporter Yoon Chang-won-The public safety is neglected while the auditor led by Choi Jae-hyung, the auditor of the Auditor General, audited the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, which made the decision to close the Wolseong nuclear power plant early, and led to a large-scale investigation by the prosecution against officials of the Ministry of Industry for shredding relevant evidence during the audit process. It means that it is done.
Representative Lee’s remarks to the auditor’s Chung Aim said that although the decision to close the nuclear power plant was a policy decision that considered not only economic feasibility, but also the safety of the nuclear power plant and the right to public health, a series of processes that led to the audit, the prosecution investigation, and the opposition party’s wave of offense were irresponsible. It can be interpreted as emphasizing that it was done.
Representative Lee also emphasized, “Why hasn’t the suspicion of tritium leakage raised since 7 years ago been clarified? Is there some concealment? Is there a collusion with the nuclear mafia as the public doubts?”
After the highest ranking, Chief Spokesperson In-Ho Choi said, “It is so shocking that it is impossible to tell whether the auditor did or did not do an audit related to public safety,” and pointed out, “I wonder what the auditor’s focus was on.”
He also stressed, “Even now, the National Assembly, as well as the Audit Committee, must actively deal with the truth about the controversy over tritium concealment without any doubt.”
