Previously, according to the Japan Kyodo News Agency 21 report, some civil groups in Tohoku Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima Prefectures of Japan submitted a joint signature of about 42,000 people who opposed nuclear polluted water discharge from the sea to Tokyo Electric Power Company and Japan Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry , requiring other methods to deal with nuclear polluted water at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
reported that this joint signature activity will be launched online and offline from June 2021. The joint signature submitted this time plus the previously submitted parts, Japan has collected a total of about 221,000 joint signatures nationwide.
In April 2021, the Japanese government formally decided to treat the nuclear-polluted water of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to "below the standard concentration" and then discharge it into the sea. It plans to discharge the so-called " radioactive substance meets the standard" nuclear-polluted water to the Pacific Ocean starting from the spring of 2023. The Japanese government's unilateral decision to discharge nuclear-polluted water into the ocean has been widely questioned and opposed by the international community, especially stakeholders, and has also caused strong concerns in Japan.
