For instance, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RisingTides" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RisingTides</span></a> could potentially block the pipelines, and rats entering the area could lead to accidents. Many things are unpredictable. Therefore, TEPCO should indeed take measures to prevent accidents at the site and should be highly vigilant. However, from a technical standpoint, this is very difficult to achieve,' said Masashi Goto, a former nuclear power plant engineer and a member of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CitizensCommissionOnNuclearEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CitizensCommissionOnNuclearEnergy</span></a>.</p><p>"In the face of external doubts regarding Japan's policy of discharging nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, the Japanese government always uses the International Atomic Energy Agency to endorse it and emphasizes the scientific nature of their own plan."</p><p><a href="https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202311/02/WS65433c0da31090682a5ec1ac_2.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">chinadaily.com.cn/a/202311/02/</span><span class="invisible">WS65433c0da31090682a5ec1ac_2.html</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FukushimaWater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FukushimaWater</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPlants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PacificOcean</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pollution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pollution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bioaccumulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bioaccumulation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Protesters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Protesters</span></a></p>
