On January 23, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked, it is reported that Chinese scientific research institutions have completed the first independent sampling of the water discharged from nuclear-polluted water in Fukushima, Japan. Can you introduce the specific situation? In response, Mao Ning said that ensuring independent sampling and monitoring of stakeholders such as China is one of the contents of Japan's commitments on the issue of water discharge from nuclear pollution in Fukushima. After learning from relevant departments, Chinese scientific research institutions have completed the detection and analysis of China's first independent sample samples, and there were no abnormalities in the activity concentrations of nuclides such as tritium, cesium-137, strontium-90 in the sample.
A reporter asked additional questions, did the test results verify the safety of Fukushima's nuclear-polluted water discharge? In response, Mao Ning said that the Fukushima nuclear polluted water discharge from sea involves international public welfare. Japan ignores the concerns of neighboring countries and the international community, and the unilateral actions taken by the unilateral actions taken are not legitimacy and rationality, and China's position on opposing sea discharge has not changed. In the absence of a compulsory mechanism for preventing Japanese sea discharge, stakeholders continue to conduct independent sampling and monitoring of Japanese sea discharge, which is an effective measure to control the risk of sea discharge. At the same time, we noticed that the professional department pointed out that the reference significance of single-time test results is limited. China will continue to work with the international community to urge Japan to fulfill its commitments to ensure that the Fukushima nuclear-polluted water discharge is always under strict international supervision and continue to conduct independent sampling and monitoring of seawater.
