China News Service, Tokyo, August 24 (Reporter Zhu Chenxi) August 24 this year marks the first anniversary of Japan's launch of the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea. On August 24 last year, despite strong opposition at home and abroad, Japan launched the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea. Over the past year, more than 60,000 tons of nuclear contaminated water have been discharged into the sea, causing concern among the Japanese people and the international community.

Tokyo Electric Power Company launched the eighth batch of Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea on August 7, and the discharge will continue until August 25. Since Japan started the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea on August 24 last year, it has discharged more than 60,000 tons of nuclear contaminated water.

In a recent interview with a China News Service reporter, Hajime Matsukubo, director of affairs of the Japanese non-profit organization "Atomic Energy Information Office", said that as nuclear contaminated water is continuously discharged into the sea, the possible adverse consequences for the environment are worrying.

According to Japan's Jiji Press, as of August 15, there are still about 1.31 million tons of nuclear contaminated water in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Matsukubo Hajime said that according to Tokyo Electric Power Company's plan, the process of discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea will last at least 30 years, and the total amount of discharge is huge. He called on the Japanese people and the international community to continue to pay attention to the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea, and said that he would insist on asking the government to stop discharging nuclear contaminated water into the sea and continue to work to stop the discharge process.
