Tritium Fact Sheet | SimplyInfo.org

"Tritium concentrations in the stored water vary greatly. Some tanks have lower levels of tritium concentrations while other tanks are incredibly high in tritium. A spot review of tritium concentrations found in the storage tanks ranged from 140,000 Bq/L to 2.5 million Bq/L per Japan’s nuclear regulator’s records.

"Tritium isn’t the only contaminant in this water TEPCO plans to dump into the Pacific ocean. The total of “other nuclides” that remain in the post-ALPS water is almost equal to the amount of tritium in the water. We have older reports that confirm the concentration of some of these other contaminants but don’t have specific values for some of the other ones such as Co-60, Sb-125, or the trace amounts of Cs-137 or Sr-90.

"Contaminants we are able to provide an estimated total for include:
I-129 82,633,197,600 bq
Ru-106 122,886,990,000 bq
Tc-99 78,381,972,000 bq

"TEPCO and other vested interests have attempted to distract from the volumes of contamination that would be dumped into the Pacific Ocean by claiming they will dilute it before dumping. This is akin to putting an equal amount of something into a tub with an eyedropper or pouring it in all at once out of a cup. The same amount ends up in the body of water. The delivery method is largely irrelevant to the concerns for the environment and public health."

"The press have repeated a statement initially peddled by , that this contaminated water only includes . This is untrue, and tritium is not without its own risks. The water being discussed has been through the various filtration systems on site used to remove . Each system removes some of the radioactive elements in the water. ALPS is the last of these systems. It can remove much of the remaining contamination but not all of it, some radioactive contamination remains in this water.

"We [SimplyInfo] documented back in 2018 that this water contains other problematic radioactive elements including:

(238, 239, 240)

Iodine 129
99
Cobalt 60
Curium 244
Niobium-94
(152, 154)
137
90
Selenium 79
Nickel 63
Tin 126 (aka: Sn-126)

"As of 2018 the stored post ALPS water contained 200 billion becquerels of iodine 129, 106, and technetium 99. As stored water increases, so does the total volume of contamination within that water.

"TEPCO and the Japanese government have tried to ease concerns by claiming the water will be diluted before it is dumped into the Pacific ocean. This is a meaningless step. The total amount of radioactive contamination is still dumped into the ocean, you just dumped some additional water beside it at the same time."

By the way... If you think the barrels of radioactive water that's being "processed" and dumped into the ocean by TEPCO is all that's going on at , you are sadly mistaken. Underground rivers still flow by the very radioactive CORIUM still "buried" under the reactor building, and eventually end up in the . I kid you not!

Hacker group attacks websites over water release plan

August 18, 2023

"International hacker group has launched cyberattacks against nuclear power-linked groups in Japan in protest at the planned release of treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, a Japanese IT security firm said.

"Anonymous has been intensifying its cyber offensives since last month, shortly after the said in its final report that the planned discharge would comply with global safety standards, NTT Security Japan said.

"'Vigilance is needed, as the attacks could further escalate after the discharge,' a representative of the Tokyo-based firm said.

"The organizations targeted by the international hacktivist group are the Japan Atomic Energy Agency, Japan Atomic Power Co and the Atomic Energy Society of Japan.

"Anonymous have carried out distributed denial-of-service, or attacks, in which networks are overwhelmed by hackers who unleash a flood of data from multiple sources over a short period, with the assault being led by a group based in Italy.

"Activities by a group based in Vietnam have also been confirmed, NTT Security said.

"The Japan Atomic Energy Agency said its website saw about 100 times more than its usual traffic, but users could continue browsing the site as it took countermeasures.

"According to NTT Security, Anonymous released a 'target list' of its attacks after the Japanese government formally decided in 2021 to release treated water from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s nuclear power plant.

"In addition to the three nuclear power-related organizations, TEPCO, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Liberal Democratic Party were on the list, NTT Security said.

"A member of Anonymous told Kyodo News recently that the Japanese government's policy to release treated water lacks transparency as citizens were not able to participate in its decision-making process.

"'We must put an end to the senseless act of making the a ground for economic benefit,' the member said.

"Massive amounts of water have been generated in the process of cooling melted reactor fuel after the Fukushima plant was devastated by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

"The water has been kept in tanks after going through the advanced liquid processing system that removes most radionuclides except tritium [AND 62 OTHER RADIONUCLIDES], but the storage vessels are nearing capacity. Tritium is known to be less harmful than other radioactive materials, such as cesium and strontium.

"Local fishermen and some neighboring countries remain opposed to the plan, with China introducing blanket radiation testing on Japanese seafood."

New leak heightens international concerns

August 18, 2023

"The latest reported leak of nuclear-contaminated water from the nuclear power plant has again heightened international concerns over the competence of Tokyo Electric Power Company () and the lack of effective regulation from the Japanese government, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Thursday.

"Spokesperson Wang Wenbin made the remarks at a press briefing when asked to comment on media reports that TEPCO recently confirmed a leak of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant as a result of a crack in the hose used to transport the wastewater.

"The legitimacy and safety of 's ocean discharge plan have long been questioned by the international community, and people in Fukushima have pointed out many times that since the nuclear plant accident, TEPCO's handling of the aftermath has been highly problematic, Wang said.

"People are questioning TEPCO's ability to properly handle the nuclear-contaminated water, Wang added.

"'Can TEPCO handle the wastewater in a safe and responsible way throughout the process? Can it manage the 30-year-long discharge without mistakes and errors? Can it ensure the long-term effectiveness and reliability of the treatment facility? Can it conduct wastewater sampling and monitoring activities in strict compliance with the rules? The international community is very doubtful about that,' Wang said.

"Wang reiterated that the Japanese side should take seriously the legitimate concerns of the international community and the people in Japan, stop pushing through the ocean discharge plan, have full and sincere communication with neighboring countries, dispose of the nuclear-contaminated water in a truly responsible way, and accept rigorous international oversight."

"'If the water is truly as safe as they claim, then it should be safe for other daily uses as well,' Kataoka said.

"Kataoka is among multiple groups of people who held a rally in front of the Prime Minister's official residence on Friday, requesting the government to halt unilateral release of nuclear water without the agreement of concerned parties and to explore alternative options."

Leaks found in hose to transfer -contaminated

Editor: huaxia, 2023-08-11

"The operator of the crippled nuclear power plant has found leaks in a hose used to transfer nuclear-contaminated wastewater, local media reported on Friday.

"Tokyo Electric Power Company () conducted a probe after higher-than-usual levels of material were detected in in the dike around a storage tank, public broadcaster NHK reported.

"An inspection found that some water had leaked from cracks of about four centimeters on a hose being used for transferring radioactive wastewater at the time, the report said.

"As the hose was used to transfer radioactive wastewater from another tank, TEPCO analyzed water in the dike around the tank and detected up to 67,000 becquerels of tritium per liter, which exceeded 60,000 becquerels, the standard set by the Japanese government for releasing tritium into the environment.

"TEPCO said that someone caused the cracks with a cutter blade while removing the packaging around the hose after it was delivered, adding that the water that leaked remained inside the barrier.

"TEPCO added that the leak would not affect the plan to discharge the radioactive wastewater from the plant into the ocean.

"Despite strong opposition from neighboring and countries, as well as local fishermen over the irreversible impacts on the marine environment and public health, the Japanese government and TEPCO have been pushing for release of the radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant hit by a massive earthquake and an ensuing tsunami in March 2011."

In 2021, stateswoman Motarilavoa Hilda Lini said: "If it is safe, dump it in , test it in , and store it in , but keep our "

Story by Cyril Ip, August 10, 2023

- Beijing asks why Tokyo refuses to dispose of 'safe and harmless' water within its territory, says dumping in Pacific will harm health and environment

- Document's potential impact unclear as South Korean and Western governments' stance influenced by politics, observers say

"Beijing submitted a searing working paper to the United Nations opposing Tokyo's plans to release treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean, which could begin as soon as the end of August.

"'If the so-called 'treated-water' is really safe and harmless, why does Japan not dispose of it within its own territory or use it for industrial and agricultural purposes?' says the document, which was submitted on Tuesday.

"Japan plans to dump more than 1 million tonnes of water from the nuclear plant, where three reactors suffered meltdowns after an earthquake and tsunami in 2011."

’s lack of transparency on water is sparking fear in neighbors, says Japanese expert

Naoya Sekiya said the Japanese government has been more concerned with international organizations than with persuading neighboring countries

By Kim So-youn, Tokyo correspondent, July 24, 2023

"The reason , , and other countries are concerned about the safety of Japan’s imminent release of contaminated water currently being stored at the plant into the ocean is the result of Tokyo’s failure to provide adequate information, an expert claimed in a recent interview.

"Naoya Sekiya, an associate professor at the University of Tokyo, said in an interview published Friday by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper that the 'anxieties of people in South Korea, China, and other neighboring countries have not been resolved' in connection with the water’s release.

"He also said a 'big factor in this issue' was 'the Japanese government not providing adequate information.'"

Statement on

August 3, 2023

"The Green Party of the United States () and the Green Party of Hawai’i stand in solidarity with our fellow in and when calling for the end of the near-shore release of 1.33 million tons of contaminated water from the power plant into the Pacific Ocean. The Green Party of the United States and the Green Party of Hawai’i urges the Government of to respect existing international treaties that ban the releasing of nuclear waste into the oceans. We also join the Green Party Korea and the Greens Japan in calling for the cancellation of ocean releasing plans. For this, we call for a public review of methods of on-land storage such as 'large tank storage' and 'mortar solidification treatment'.

"Up to this point, independent review has not been allowed. We demand a public, independent review and the citizens of the Asia-Pacific have a right to know about the safety of such release.

"Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has long concerned themselves with . TEPCO is one of many that internalizes profits and externalizes their losses. We call shame upon TEPCO for their unwillingness to listen to the general public in and take their concerns seriously.

"Kim Yeon-cheol, executive chairman of the National Federation of Fishermen's Associations in South Korea said, 'In South Korea, people who feel uneasy about releasing marine products into the sea are already refraining from consuming seafood. We should not catch and provide seafood until it has been verified that it is completely safe.'

"The majority of the public in South Korea and Japan does not trust the International Atomic Energy Association ()’s report finding the release of water safe. This report has not even completed sample analysis of contaminated water. We encourage the IAEA to build that trust network with the Nation Federation of Fishermen’s Associations of South Korea and the Fishermen’s Union of Fukushima Japan and listen to their concerns about livelihood.

"The Green Party of the United States urges TEPCO and IAEA to gain the trust of the public. Currently, TEPCO and IAEA’s incentives lie in keeping profits and protecting the leadership of the right-wing, nationalist Japanese government instead of the concerns of the average Korean, Japanese, Chinese, or Taiwanese citizen. Let’s create an East Asia and a world where the average person can live free of the worry about food safety."

Interview: report on nuke wastewater discharge plan wrong, says scientist

"The International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) report on 's planned dump of nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean is wrong, a Pakistani nuclear scientist said.

"Zafar Koreshi, dean of graduate studies at Air University Pakistan, made the remarks in an interview with Xinhua.

"'I think it's a very favorable treatment to Japan by the IAEA,' Koreshi said. 'It ignored the interest of the local people who are affected by this and the regional countries who are going to be affected by this.'

"So it's legitimate for China, South Korea and other regional countries to demand a joint mechanism in order to get their concerns addressed, Koreshi said.

"Koreshi urged Japan to immediately cease this plan and work with neighboring countries to conduct scientific research and simulations to study the potential effects on marine life."

Discharge Sparks Global Outcry Amid E#nvironmental Concerns

Japanese Government's Controversial Move to Discharge Water Triggers Intense Backlash

9 July 2023

"The public’s disapproval of the release of Fukushima’s nuclear polluted water into the sea has been fervent. Their objection is not directed at the normal functioning of nuclear power plants but rather stems from ’s dissemination of misleading information under the guise of 'pseudoscience.' It is vital to elucidate the fundamental distinction between Fukushima’s nuclear-contaminated water and the regular operations of a nuclear power plant from a scientific perspective. By analyzing their sources, the Fukushima nuclear disaster stands as the most severe nuclear accident, resulting in water contaminated with an extensive array of radionuclides generated by nuclear fission. In contrast, nuclear waste water from power plants worldwide is primarily composed of various types of process water, chemical water, ground water, shower and laundry water, all classified as general operational water. Each source manifests unique characteristics in terms of radionuclide composition.

"It is crucial to highlight that the Fukushima nuclear-contaminated water contains over 60 types of radionuclides, some of which are significantly more hazardous than tritium, a substance the Japanese authorities claim they can efficiently purify and treat. Alarming concerns arise as many of these lack effective treatment methods. Japan’s own data reveals that approximately 70 percent of nuclear-contaminated water processed through the Multi-Nuclide Treatment System () fails to meet discharge standards, necessitating re-purification. Additionally, the assessment report published by the acknowledges that ALPS 'may not remove all radionuclides in nuclear-contaminated water.' Furthermore, the long-term implications of this decision cannot be ignored, as it may take up to 30 years for Japan to execute the discharge plan, potentially resulting in an irreversible environmental catastrophe.

"'The radioactive materials stemming from the nuclear accident should not be released, and we must preserve a pristine ocean for our generation and those to come,' passionately stated Masashi Tani, a representative of Japanese civic groups. On the 7th of July, various civil organizations in Fukushima Prefecture and beyond made a resounding statement, revealing that over 250,000 individuals had signed petitions opposing the release of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean. The gravity of this global outcry underscores the urgent need for a reconsideration of Japan’s decision.

"As the international community scrutinizes Japan’s stance on the matter, the ramifications of releasing nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean extend beyond national borders. Concerns about potential health hazards, ecological damage, and the perpetuation of long-term radioactive pollution are driving this global controversy. It is imperative for authorities to heed the mounting public outcry and prioritize the protection of our planet’s fragile ecosystems."

and Civil Society Rally Against Water Discharge from Nuclear Plant

July 4, 2023

"On Tuesday, heavy rainfall was sweeping across the country as a result of the rainy season front. Despite these adverse weather conditions, over 1,000 fishermen congregated in Changseon-myeon, Namhae County, South Gyeongsang Province — the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula—to voice their opposition against the release of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the ocean.

"Concurrently, a rally took place in , the capital city, organized by prominent civil society organizations, aiming to halt the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water from Fukushima, Japan.

"The rally commenced with a national ritual, followed by a series of speeches, including those highlighting the struggles, encouraging the participants, showcasing cultural performances, condemning the actions, and reading official statements."
