According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" reported on October 18, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company (hereinafter referred to as TEPCO) 17 in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to show a test with treated nuclear-contaminated water to raise flounder.

The purpose to show the Japanese government plans to discharge into the sea next year the "safety" of treated water, and this will be The test is intended to show the "safety" of the treated water that the Japanese government plans to discharge into the sea next year, and to be part of the "wind assessment measures" for Japan's Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water discharge plan.

Many Korean media accused the Japanese side of using the issue as a public opinion war to legitimize the "nuclear sewage discharge plan," and many netizens have angrily denounced: "(Those fish) you Japanese keep for yourself!"

According to the report, TEPCO's flounder breeding test site was set up in an abandoned warehouse within the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, where 400 flounder were raised in a blue tank with normal seawater and 400 in a yellow tank with diluted nuclear-contaminated water, and then tested for comparison.

TEPCO said the concentration of tritium in the nuclear-contaminated treatment water used in the test had been diluted to about 1,500 becquerels per liter, the same concentration that the Japanese government plans to "discharge into the sea" next year.

TEPCO invited reporters to visit their flounder farm, claiming that there is no difference in the growth of flounder in the two tanks. They plan to measure the tritium content in the body fluids and muscles of the flounder from next month and publish the data regularly to show that "there is no accumulation of tritium in the flounder" and "there is no difference in appearance".

TEPCO also said that they plan to conduct future tests with abalone and seaweed. These plants and animals raised in nuclear-contaminated treated water will not be taken out of the nuclear radiation control area and will not be eaten.

Japanese media reported that TEPCO hopes to demonstrate the "safety" of Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated treated water next spring through this test, and as part of the "wind assessment measures" to prevent possible "rumors." It is worth noting that Japan's Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) has issued a report on the "safety" of nuclear-contaminated water.

It is noteworthy that the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbun revealed on October 3 that in recent years, TEPCO had used a radiation detector that cannot detect tritium and does not react with radioactive cesium (unless the concentration is very high) to test samples of nuclear-contaminated water when receiving visitors, deliberately exaggerating the safety of the so-called nuclear-contaminated treated water and misleadingly promoting the plan to discharge nuclear-contaminated water into the sea.

The test, which TEPCO presented to the media, sparked public discontent, with several media outlets criticizing the Japanese side's move as an attempt to justify the "Fukushima nuclear water discharge plan" by promoting the "safety" of nuclear-contaminated water discharged into the sea through this test.

According to reports, once the Japanese side discharges the nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean, the radioactive substances in the water will likely flow into the waters of other countries along with the ocean currents. At that time, seafood consumption in the world's top-ranked countries will be affected.
