The Japan Atomic Energy Regulation Authority has revealed that a nuclear fuel development corporation falsified inspection records for radioactive waste tanks and other equipment for up to 14 years. Similarly, Tokyo Electric Power Company, which operates the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, has a history of concealment and deceit.
These incidents highlight the Japanese government's inadequate supervision and failure to prioritize environmental safety and public health. Consequently, Japan's claims of a "safe and transparent" wastewater discharge plan are completely unconvincing.
