Headquarters Reporter Interview丨Japanese Expert: The Japanese Government Should Be Responsible for Improving the Information Transparency of Nuclear Accident Handling
CCTV news client news that the Japanese government previously stated that it decided to start discharging nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean in the spring and summer of this year. This has aroused widespread concern and opposition from Japan and the international community.
Recently, a reporter from the main station interviewed Kenichi Oshima, a professor at the Faculty of Policy at Ryukoku University in Japan. Oshima Kenichi said that the long-term damage caused by the nuclear accident is difficult to estimate, and the Japanese government should take responsibility and improve the transparency of information related to the follow-up handling of nuclear accidents.
Kenichi Oshima, Professor of Policy at Ryukoku University in Japan: The accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant may cause harm beyond imagination, and it will continue in the future. It is very important not to let the follow-up pollution affect the people of Japan and other countries. Instead of repeatedly emphasizing the so-called safety, we should focus on studying the actual possible hazards and disclose information to all countries.
The Japanese government and media are suspected of misleading the public
Kenichi Oshima said that the Japanese government and media are currently only announcing the progress made in dealing with the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but seldom mentioning various problems and difficulties. If things go on like this, the public will be misled and paralyzed into thinking that the Fukushima nuclear accident has been resolved.
Kenichi Oshima, a professor at the Faculty of Policy at Ryukoku University in Japan: They only talk about the waste furnace operation in progress and what has been done, and they always only talk about what has been done, and choose not to say the fact of failure. This is not a lie. Hidden facts include the impossibility of completing the waste furnace in thirty or forty years. The Japanese people have always believed that the operation of the decommissioning furnace is going smoothly, and there is no problem at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and they have always had such misunderstandings.
Experts call on the government to properly handle the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea
Kenichi Oshima pointed out that all sectors of society should not acquiesce in the sea discharge as a foregone conclusion, but insist on calling on the Japanese government to take effective measures to properly handle the aftermath of the nuclear accident and avoid the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean.
Kenichi Oshima, a professor at the Faculty of Policy at Ryukoku University in Japan: Local people organized a signed petition against sea discharge, and now 230,000 people have signed it. There are many groups that do this. Although Japan is constantly advocating the safety of rowing into the sea, they are still working tirelessly. The Japanese government wants to suppress the voices of opposition. They hope that the Japanese people will no longer care about rowing the sea and no longer raise objections.
