The Power of the People held a meeting by inviting foreign experts to explain that contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is scientifically safe for the human body. He emphasized that it is safe to drink 10 liters of contaminated water purified by a multi-nuclide removal facility ( ALPS ).
However, when asked whether it was safe enough to be used for domestic consumption in Japan, he replied, “It is the same as other water, so there is no need to keep it in Japan. Rather, I think it should be released sooner.”
On the 19th, the People’s Power to Protect Our Seas Verification Task Force ( TF ) invited world-renowned nuclear expert, Professor Emeritus Wade Allison of Oxford University, England, at the main building of the National Assembly to hold a meeting on the release of contaminated water in Fukushima, Japan.
Professor Allison said, “We compared and looked at the natural radiation dose that we can receive in our lifetime and the radiation dose when consuming 1 liter of water that went through the treatment process in Fukushima.” It could double,” he said.
“However, if we receive cosmic radiation, or if we receive radiation from various routes, including radiation exposure such as CT or scans used for medical purposes, in these cases, we can receive 10 times more radiation dose,” he said. “he added.
He continued, “I get asked a lot if I can trust the numbers such as the amount of water and tritium treated in Fukushima, but I think this is accurate because the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) confirms it well.” no,” he added.
It is an argument to the effect that the radiation dose contained in Fukushima water is not that high when compared to the radiation dose that we can receive in normal life.

Regarding the concerns raised by some that “even with the use of filters, there is a great concern that tritium, a dangerous nuclide, cannot be filtered out,” he said, “I cannot agree with that statement. From a biological and chemical point of view, tritium does not accumulate in the body. “After 12 days, about half of the tritium is excreted outside the body,” he refuted.
In addition, to the question, “Nuclear power plants have been scientifically proven to be safe from earthquakes and tsunamis, but just as a problem occurred, could there be a side effect of Mann in the discharge of polluted water?” ” We may receive radiation when we receive an actual CT scan or scan, but there is no physical effect on this part, and we do not consider it an issue,” he replied.
“At the time of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident in 2012, I wrote an article that said, ‘No one will die from radiation,’ but no one believed it. But in reality, my words became reality,” he said. In the case of fire, it is more dangerous than nuclear power, and just as mankind has learned how to use it well, nuclear power is the same.”
However, when asked, “Is the contaminated water safe enough to be used in Japan right now?”, he said, “There is no need to keep this water in Japan. Rather, I think it should be discharged sooner.” The reason why there is no need to place it in Japan is that this water is the same as any other water. I don’t think there’s any need to keep storing it in Japan.”
Professor Allison emphasized that even 10 liters of contaminated water purified by the Alps can be drunk. “Because science knows how much more radiation we receive if we do that, compared to the radiation we receive naturally,” he said. “Scientifically, it’s safe.”
To the Korean government inspection team, he advised, “I know that Japan and Korea can build enough trust.” On the other hand, Seong Il-jong, chairman of the verification task force
to protect our seas, said, “The government’s position is that they announced not too long ago that they would not import marine products from eight prefectures, including Fukushima.” Number 1, public health is number 1, and protection of our fishermen is number 1,” he emphasized.
