00:00 Although it caused a strong rebound in the international community,
00:02 but if nothing goes wrong,
00:04 the Japanese government will start to
00:07 drain the river water from Fukushima nuclear power plant
00:10 into the sea on the 24th of tomorrow.
00:12 The Tokyo Electric Company, which is responsible for
00:15 the operation of the nuclear power plant,
00:19 revealed that the first wave of nuclear water drainage plans
00:21 is expected to use 17 days to drain the total amount of
00:24 about 7,800 tons of nuclear water into the sea.
00:27 But how long does it take to drain
00:30 the total amount of about 1.34 million tons of nuclear water?
00:34 The Tokyo Electric Company once tested the plan in 2021.
00:38 If the plan is to be carried out in stages,
00:41 it will take at least 2051,
00:44 which is about 30 years,
00:45 to completely drain all the nuclear water.
00:49 This plan will last at least 30 years.
00:53 Will there be a problem with radioactive materials gathering
00:57 and the health and ecological environment of the people?
01:00 These questions have not yet been confirmed.
01:04 If you think that nuclear water drainage
01:06 will only affect neighboring countries in Japan,
01:09 you are wrong.
01:10 The Chinese Tsinghua University research team
01:12 simulated the process of Japanese nuclear water drainage.
01:16 The result is that
01:17 nuclear water will reach the Chinese coast in 240 days.
01:21 In 1,200 days,
01:22 which is about three years later,
01:24 it will cover the North Pacific.
01:26 Then these pollutants will spread quickly
01:29 along the coast of the Americas
01:31 to the South Pacific
01:33 and to the Indian Ocean
01:35 through the northern coast of Australia.
01:37 But no matter what,
01:38 the Japanese government's decision
01:40 is already a fixed one.
01:42 It won't change.
01:44 Although Prime Minister Akihito Akihito's promise
01:46 will be responsible for the negative views
01:48 and anxiety in the world,
01:50 even the fishermen on the Japanese Fudo Line
01:53 are in pain that the government has broken the contract.
01:55 Because most fishermen
01:57 did not agree with this plan at all.
01:59 They also said that they were deceived by the Japanese government.
02:03 Some fishermen said that
02:04 safety does not mean peace of mind.
02:06 The Japanese government emphasizes the safety of nuclear water
02:09 and cannot let their fishermen
02:11 feel at ease about the future livelihood.
02:14 Because if you think about it,
02:15 after nuclear water enters the sea,
02:17 it will definitely hit the fish market.
02:20 That's the case in Japan.
02:22 But here's the problem.
02:23 The people of Malaysia also like to eat Japanese food.
02:26 Will the sashimi and sashimi sashimi
02:27 that we eat in the future
02:30 also be polluted?
02:33 Deputy Minister of Agriculture Chen Hongqian
02:34 issued a statement in the Facebook today
02:36 urging the people to remain calm.
02:38 Malaysia has not imported any live fish or live seafood
02:40 from Japan so far.
02:43 As for non-living aquatic products from Japan,
02:46 the Ministry of Agriculture is working closely with the Ministry of Health
02:48 and the Malaysia Epoch Times Service Agency
02:50 to closely monitor the quality of Japanese fish
02:52 and to closely monitor the safety level of Japanese aquatic products,
02:55 including the health certification of aquatic products.
02:56 If necessary,
02:58 the authorities will conduct radiation tests.
03:00 In addition to the Ministry of Agriculture,
03:02 the Ministry of Health has also sent a telegram.
03:04 Today, the Director of Health, Muhammad Raz,
03:06 issued a statement saying
03:07 that the Ministry of Health will conduct a fourth-level inspection
03:10 and analyze radioactive material
03:13 at the entry point of our country
03:15 for high-risk food imported from Japan
03:17 to ensure the safety of food.
03:20 According to the Ministry of Health's data,
03:22 the most imported products from Japan
03:24 are fish and fish products,
03:27 followed by fruit and vegetables,
03:28 and the rest are processed food and drinks.
03:31 If you are really worried,
03:34 the Chairman of the Hong Kong Food and Environmental Health Consultation Committee,
03:38 Liang Meiyi,
03:39 reminded the people
03:40 to eat less seafood with higher risk of three types,
03:43 including bluefin tuna,
03:46 catfish,
03:48 and other subspecies,
03:50 which live near the seabed.
03:54 Because large fish,
03:55 such as bluefin tuna,
03:57 are on the upper level of the food chain
03:59 and are highly polluted,
04:01 so this type of seafood can be eaten once or twice a year.
04:04 Then again,
04:05 it is easy for pollutants to settle on the soil,
04:08 so subspecies living near the seabed,
04:13 including the catfish we just mentioned,
04:15 should be eaten less.
04:17 If you go to Japan,
04:19 Liang Meiyi reminded that
04:21 eating raw fish every day is more risky,
04:25 so you should make a wise choice,
04:27 including checking the source of the relevant seafood,
04:30 such as Hokkaido or Kyushu,
04:32 which is relatively safer
04:33 if you have asked.
