「飲める」か、明言避ける 加藤官房長官

 官房長官は15日の記者会見で、東京電力福島第1原発から出る放射性物質を含む処理水を「飲んでも何ということはない」とした副総理兼財務相の発言の信頼性について、明言を避けた。
 加藤氏は処理水について「世界保健機関(WHO)が定める飲料水の水質ガイドラインの7分の1に希釈して処分することを指している」と説明。ただ、実際に飲んでも安全かに関しては「(飲むという)行為自体によって、科学的に安全性が証明されているわけではない」と語った。(2021/04/15-18:13)

No Comment on Whether Fukushima Plant Water Drinkable: Kato


Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato, at a press conference Thursday, declined to comment on whether treated water kept in huge tanks at the disaster-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant is drinkable, as suggested by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso.
   Kato said Aso referred to the government's plan to lower the level of radioactive tritium in the treated water to around one-seventh of the maximum drinkable level set by the World Health Organization before releasing the water into the sea.
   "The act (of drinking the water) would not scientifically prove safety," the top government spokesman said.
   The Japanese government decided on Tuesday to release into the sea treated radioactive water accumulated at the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. plant.
   Following the decision, Aso said, "You would have no problem, even if you drank it."
