台湾、日本に調査団派遣　福島第１原発の処理水放出

　【台北時事】台湾政府は２３日、東京電力福島第１原発から出る放射性物質トリチウムを含む処理水の海洋放出計画について、放出作業の詳細を検証する調査団を日本へ派遣した。専門家ら８人で構成され、２７日までの日程で同原発などを視察する。
　台湾は、日本政府の放出方針決定に対し、中国や韓国のような激しい非難は避けているものの、「反対を繰り返し伝えており、遺憾だ」（原子力委員会）との立場だ。原子力委は調査団の派遣に際し「日本の廃水処理の動向を注視し、公衆の健康と安全を確保する」と強調した。（2022/03/23-19:32）

The Taiwanese government dispatched an investigative team to Japan on Wednesday to look into the details of the planned release into the sea of treated water containing radioactive tritium from the disaster-crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
   The team, made up of eight members including experts, will be in Japan through Sunday to visit the Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. plant in Fukushima Prefecture, the site of the 2011 triple reactor meltdown, and other locations.
   Taiwan has expressed its opposition to the water release plan, while avoiding directing strong criticism at Japan like China and South Korea.
   When dispatching the survey team, Taiwan's Atomic Energy Council said it will closely monitor moves related to the water release plan and ensure the safety and health of people of the self-ruled island.
   At the Fukushima No. 1 plant, water contaminated with radioactive substances keeps increasing as TEPCO continues to cool nuclear fuel debris at the damaged reactors. The water is processed through treatment equipment before being stored in tanks. But the equipment cannot remove tritium.
