Japan has begun releasing treated radioactive water from the Fukushima power plant.
The UN's nuclear watchdog insists it's safe.
But China disagrees, while regional states and public opinion are divided.
So are the fears justified?
And what do scientists say?
Presenter: Nick Clark
Guests:
From Tokyo - Tomohiko Taniguchi, Professor at the University of Tsukuba, former adviser to the cabinet of Shinzo Abe.
From Oslo - Astrid Liland, Director for Emergency Preparedness at Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority, nuclear chemist.
And from Macau - Victor Gao, Vice President of the Centre for China and Globalization and a China analyst

If it's not harmful,why Japan is not using it in its agricultural fields and why it is discharging it into sea.

If it’s not harmful, why does anyone dump anything to the sea? Treated water from sewage treatment plants, cooling water from nuclear power plants around the world (which, by the way, commonly release more radioactive water than what is planned at Fukushima). Just because people can ask questions doesn’t mean what is implied is backed up by anything.

Why? Because the Japanese knows very well these water are very harmful. (These water are not cooling water; they are from damaged/destructive parts of the nuclear plant with direct contact with the radioactive substances.)

The fact that Tomohiko dragged the Chinese government into the conversation is just ridiculous. The Chinese man is clearly saying everything with his own emotions, you can tell how his facial expression changes from the start when he was smiling. The Koreans are not convinced, however, due to their political stance, they have to follow the West's rules. The Chinese are not convinced at all because most Chinese people already hates Japan for what they did in WW2, and now they are doing this without their consent but rather, the consent from USA and UN. If we are talking about weaponizing conversations, isn't the West blaming everything on China? Now they are saying that China shouldn't be worried about this discharge in their backyard when they are watching this show from the other side of the world. In my personal opinion, social media is very biased and very misinforming currently. You rarely see endorsements for anything that the Chinese and Russians do. But you can see so many cases where issues just gets pointed towards China. This is the perfect example of this issue. USA and UN blames China for pollution and human rights but keeps an eye closed when Japan does something similar or worse. This is just my perception. I am not a politician or scientist, so feel free to correct me and I will kindly accept it.

I agree with your opinions. The US think they can act or say anything without consequences. Look at the difference of how the Iraq War and the War in Ukraine are presented by Western media. How the US did exactly the same thing as Russia in 2003 when they invaded Iraq. But did the US face any consequences from illegally invading another country without any provocation? Absolutely not but look how we ostracize Russia now? Also, China does hate Japan for invading us and their horrific atrocities but they still worked with Japan peacefully since the war so this hate isn't enough to go to war over. This conflict over the waste water isn't the first incident that raised that old hatred in Chinese society in the past 20 years. I'm Chinese Canadian so I have an unique perspective. I also know the Koreans hate Japan for the same reason. I once saw a news segment in China reporting on some South Koreans protesting against the erasure of the horrible things Japan did in Korea during the war from school history books by cutting off their own thumbs. Korea need the US to keep them safe from their northern neighbour, but they'll never trust Japan. Also, Japan tried to invade Korea many times in the past 1000 years. I hate to be the South Korean President right now.

@@ToudaHell I agree with everything you said, you perfectly summarised how I see the situation currently. its also interesting that so many people just comes to a black and white conclusion that Russia and China is the evil side and the West is the good side. The media really changes how we perceive the world, so if we are living in a western society and using western media, we would be siding with the west. The same goes for Russia and China. Its really simple stuff but most people just seem to ignore it or they don't acknowledge it at all. So having both side's perspective as a Chinese Canadian can really help you get a better understanding of the world and not just blindly follow one side of the story. I am Australian and it took me a really long time to figure things out, and I really hope people can start to understand the world better just like us. I also enjoy the culture of Eastern Asian countries (Korea, Japan, China etc) and I wish they can genuinely apologize to each other and come together as allies. If things like this can happen then most of the world can definitely be unified. In the end, it still comes down to the government. If they can't get out of this Democracy vs Communist war, I really can't see a peaceful future with diversities. War creates hatred and hatred sparks war.

Million tons of seawater was used to halt the fusion. There are loads of all types of harmful substances in the water. We should not just focus on the tritium isotope.

Japan must be aware that during the dilution process, it is possible for the polluted water to come in contact with the seafood chain before it has been fully diluted. Further, dilution does NOT remove pollutants. Consequently, even though the polluted water has been “diluted”, such pollutants can accumulate in the seafood chain and over time to a level that is unsafe for human consumption. With regard to Japan’s lakes overflowing should the polluted water be released domestically, I have a solution. How about pumping the clean water from your lakes etc into the ocean and replace it with the polluted water from Fukushima Power Plant. This is not a valid excuse for causing an environmental disaster. This unwarranted dumping of radio-active waste water into the ocean will initially endanger the food chain of many nations on the peripheral of Pacific Ocean and eventually world-wide when the contaminated food chain dispersed with trade. In conclusion, this environmental abuse indicates to the international community that Japan’s action is based on self-interest with total disregard for the welfare of friends or foes alike.

Instead of asking the Japanese authority to ‘dump the treated wastewater within its own land, if the water is really safe’, I do think there is a more reasonable and economic way. Why not use the treated wastewater as the next cooling water of the nuclear core? So that the treated wastewater can be reused as cooling water and then be treated/cleaned and recycled and reused, making a self-sustained recycling system. If so, the wasted water can theoretically never get the chance to contaminate the environment. There is even no need to draw new sea water from the sea. And, there will be no further polluted water generated! hence the cost can be significantly reduced. No one will get hurt, no Japanese people will be hurt, no sea will be hurt, no neighbour countries will be hurt. The price to do that also seems to be cheaper. We don’t even have to worry that much about whether the treated water can be THAT clean and safe. In this proposal, the filter system can be even a bit less effective, as long as the treated water can meet the standards to be used as cooling water (which is simply the sea water originally). I don’t see any shortcomings of this proposal, at least it will bring no further side effects or damages to the current dumping plan.

Those politicians keep emphasizing that this is treated wastewater and all the radioactive substances are within acceptable limits. If that's the case, there's no need to release it into the ocean. If there is contamination, it's even more unacceptable to discharge it into the sea. Because the Pacific region involves numerous countries, including the United States.

Norway's Astrid Liland did not adequately address Victor Gao's concern that the waste water Japan is draining into the ocean comes from the nuclear plant's reactor core, which is reportedly hard water in many cases. Instead, she reverted back to explaining how tritium is not all that harmful. She did this even after reinforcing Mr. Goa's claim that many potentially radioactive substances are contained in the water that comes into contact with the reactor's core fuel [uranium] elements. It makes sense that the water used as a moderator in the reactor's core will be relatively more radioactive than the water used as a coolant for the spent fuel elements. Yet, Ms. Liland made it seem like there is no distinction between the two water resources at the plant. Indeed, if Japan is convinced about the safety of the "treated" water from the plant's reactor core, it should have no problem reusing it as consumable water within Japan itself. If so, Japan can avoid the unnecessary controversy of draining the "treated" reactor-core water and avoid unnecessarily disadvantaging its fishing industry. 🤷🏾‍♂
