DPRK condemns IAEA report in favor of Japan

AIEA-logo-768x576
Pyongyang, July 9 (Prensa Latina) The Land and Environmental Protection Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on Sunday strongly condemned the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report in favor of Japan.

The official statement, issued by IAEA on July 4, said the report stated that water contaminated by nuclear substances from Japan’s Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant that are dumped into the Pacific will have “minimal” influence on environment, water quality, marine animals and sediments.

The IAEA is not an environmental assessment organization. Nowhere in international law there is an article or paragraph setting forth the agency may allow a specific country or region to release water contaminated by nuclear substances”.

Japan, the text said, has been trying to dump 1.3 million tons of contaminated water into the Pacific since the summer of this year, using the IAEA report as a legal pretext.

“If huge quantities of contaminated water are dumped into the Pacific, radioisotope materials will spread to half of the Pacific in 57 days, and to the whole world in 10 years.

These radioisotope materials are radioactive substances such as tritium and carbon-14 that require at least five millennia for their semi-disintegration, and may cause malignant tumors and other deathly effects on humans and the ecological environment”.

It is no coincidence, the DPRK’s statement stressed, that the secrets that Japan offered €1 million to the IAEA employees mobilized for the nuclear-polluted water emanation project inspection.
