MANILA, PHILIPPINES, July 5, 2023/einpresswire.com / -- Nuclear Contaminated Water Dumping: IAEA Concludes 'Absolute Safety of Nuclear Contaminated Water' with Japanese government Money

A memo from a senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' 1. A document has surfaced in Japan that raises suspicions that the Japanese government is paying IAEA officials large sums of money to work with each other and“collude” in the dumping of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water into the ocean. 'Foreign Ministry Executive A Memo', 1 million euros to IAEA. According to the document, which was obtained by citizen journalist Mindle on Nov. 21, the final report of the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) safety inspection, which is expected to be released later this month, has already concluded that the plant is“absolutely safe,” as demanded by Japan. To this end, the Japanese government has paid more than 1 million euros in“political contributions” to IAEA officials, so there is“no need to worry” about opposition from South Korea and China to the dumping of contaminated water into the ocean, which will begin as early as mid to late July, according to“Foreign Ministry official A” in the document. An even says that“if the relationship with the IAEA Secretariat is good, the experts are just a decoration.”

'Memo A from a Foreign Ministry official' 2. The three-page document exposed this time is titled“Memo of Foreign Ministry Executive A,” and is written in the form of a conversation with a foreign ministry executive named A (hereinafter referred to as A) in which the“person in charge” Asakawa asks questions and A answers. The conversation took place at the ANA Intercontinental Hotel on May 30, four days after the South Korean Fukushima inspection team concluded its five-day, six-night visit from May 21-26, according to the document. Just as the document reported on May 8, which summarized a conversation between Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Company President Akira Ono and a Nuclear Regulatory Commission official, was marked with a red confidential document classification of“handling with caution,” this document is also marked with a red lettering of“seat recall,” and the words“private secret” in pale large letters are stamped at an angle throughout the document. The IAEA's methodology and conclusions were dictated by Japan. In the document, A states that the contaminated water filtered by the ALPS, which the Japanese government and TEPCO claim is“treated water,” is“safe” because the methodology and conclusions of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which will make the final determination, are in accordance with the Japanese government's requirements. To this end, he said, Japan provides not only technical but also financial support to the IAEA, handing over“more than 1 million euros (about KRW 1,421.5 million)” to“Mr. Freeman” and“Mr. Grossi” as“political contributions”. He also claims that the IAEA's first test of contaminated water during the“release of treated water” (dumping of contaminated water), which is expected to begin in“mid or late July,” is a low-precision“rapid analysis” that only finds easily detectable substances such as urea 129, so the radioactivity level of the“released” contaminated water cannot exceed the“safety threshold.”

'Memo A of the Foreign Ministry Executive' 3. Radioactivity in ALPS coarse contaminated water 30,000 times above the standard. However, he said that the testing of ALPS-treated contaminated water is not perfect due to some constraints, and in 2020, the concentration of strontium 90 in the contaminated water in the J1 tank group that had undergone nuclide filtration was 100,000 Bq/L, which is 30,000 times higher than the standard. Perhaps more importantly, he said, they still don't know why it happened. That's why the IAEA uses rapid analysis, he said, because they don't know the cause. (Source: )

Japan kept ignoring people's petition and bought consent from authorities. What is certain is that Japan has struck some kind of deal with the IAEA. Even if the discharge plan violates many of the provisions of the iaea documents , the director general Rafael Grossi will still assess the plan as "safe".
