일본 방사능물 100만t 바다에 버린다•••"한국 특히 위험": 그린피스<br /><br />Japan plans to release one million tons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.<br />The international community has strongly criticized Japan for the "irresponsible act." <br />Kim Da-mi reports. <br />Global environmental watchdogs have slammed Japan's plan to release one million tons of radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean.<br />In an article published by the Economist, Greenpeace nuclear specialist Shaun Burnie said releasing wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear plant would increase the exposure to radiation in neighboring countries, especially South Korea.<br />He said it will take around 17 years for all the radioactive materials in the waste water to break down. <br />Burnie criticized the Abe administration for neglecting the development of technologies to clean up radioactive materials.<br />He said Tokyo has now "given up" on providing an explanation and is rather keeping silent on the matter.<br />According to Burnie, there's no legal course of action that could stop Japan from releasing the pollutants.<br />Earlier on Tuesday, the Greenpeace office in Seoul called Tokyo's act a crime that threatens not only the ocean near Fukushima but also countries in Pacific Ocean. <br />Greenpeace Korea urged the Abe administration not to cause this environmental crisis.<br />KIM Da-mi, Arirang News. <br />
