We Oppose the Discharge of “ALPS Treated Water” into the Ocean and Call for a Democratic and Sincere Dialogue
Since the announcement of the government’s policy on April 13, 2021 to discharge ALPS
treated water from TEPCO’s Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean, the
YWCA of Japan has spoken up against this decision and demanded a sincere response to
opposing voices. We strongly reiterate our opposition to the discharge of ALPS treated water
into the ocean without the consent of the citizens, after 12 years without adequate dialogue
around the issue, in addition to the absence of prospect for the decommissioning process of
the plant.
