The Japanese authorities protested Russia and China due to the fact that these two countries have affected the “Activities of Japan to discharge water-containing water” from the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant.
The topic related to the disposal of waste from the nuclear power plant, which sounded in a joint statement signed by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping in Beijing, came to the fore in Japan.
In particular, the Secretary General of the Cabinet of Ministers of Japan Hayashi Yoshimas said that it was “very regrettable”, that the water discharged from the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant was called polluted, since “this contradicts the facts.”
According to him, the discharge of wastewater “does not cause any problems from a scientific point of view.” “We will inform about this to China and Russia in a polite and transparent form,” he said.
In a joint statement on the deepening partnership signed by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin and President Xi Jinping in Beijing, concern was expressed regarding the actions of Japan to discharge water into the ocean containing radionuclides of water from the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant.
“The parties express serious concern to Japan to discharge water into the ocean containing water radionuclides from the Fukushima -1 nuclear power plant,” the joint statement said. Russia and China called on Japan to “responsibly approach the safe disposal of” waste, as well as respect “requirements of interested countries to conduct independent monitoring.”
