一 | TOKYO -- The operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant said the discharge of the second batch of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea ended as planned on Monday, and International Atomic Energy Agency officials in Japan for their first safety and monitoring mission since the release began two months ago said “no issues” were observed.Fukushima Daiichi started releasing treated and diluted radioactive wastewater into the sea on Aug. 24. The operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, said the release of a second, 7,800-ton batch of treated wastewater was completed, with its daily seawater sampling results fully meeting safety standards.A magnitude 9.0 quake on March 11, 2011, triggered a massive tsunami that destroyed the plant’s power supply and cooling systems, causing three reactors to melt and spew large amounts of radiation. Highly contaminated cooling water applied to the damaged reactors has leaked continuously into building basements and mixed with groundwater.The release of treated wastewater is expected to continue for decades. It has been strongly opposed by fishing groups and neighboring countries including South Korea, where hundreds of people have protested. China banned all imports of Japanese seafood the day the release began, badly hurting Japanese seafood producers, processors and exporters. Russia recently joined China in the trade restrictions.“I would say that the first two batches of releases went well. No issues were observed," Lydie Evrard, IAEA deputy director general and head of the department of nuclear safety and security, told a Tokyo news conference. She said she visited Fukushima Daiichi on Friday for a firsthand look.Evrard's visit came on the heels of a marine sampling mission by another IAEA team that included scientists from China, South Korea and Canada. She said all participants in that mission said their activity went well. She did not say whether Chinese scientists acknowledged the safety of the release.She said China has been involved in the IAEA safety task force since the beginning of the review that began two years ago and has participated in corroboration activities. The IAEA is aware of China’s concern and engaged with its authorities, Evrard said.Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, in his policy speech Monday, renewed his call for China to immediately lift its ban on Japanese seafood imports.During the Oct. 16-23 visit, the IAEA sampling team collected seawater, sediment and fish from near the plant and visited a marine laboratory near Tokyo that makes fish specimens for radiation analysis by institutions in and outside Japan, including the IAEA.During Evrard's visit, IAEA task force and Japanese officials are expected to discuss the safety of the ongoing discharge and their future mission plans, with a report expected by the end of the year. She said the discharge plan would be updated with new findings and data collected over the past two months.The IAEA, based on its two-year review of TEPCO's wastewater release plan, concluded in July that if it is carried out as planned, it will have a negligible impact on the environment, marine life and human health.Japan’s government and TEPCO say the discharge is unavoidable because wastewater storage tanks at the plant will be full next year. They say the water produced by the damaged plant is treated to reduce radioactivity to safe levels, and then diluted with massive amounts of seawater to make it much safer than international standards.TEPCO has said it plans to release 31,200 tons of treated water by the end of March 2024, which would empty only 10 tanks out of 1,000 because of the continued production of wastewater at the plant.。 ミラノ・コルティナ五輪カーリング男子決勝で英国を下し金メダルに輝いたカナダに対する批判が続いている。 カナダは決勝で英国を9─6で退けて、2014年ソチ五輪以来の金メダルを獲得した。一方で、1次リーグのスウェーデン戦で、マーク・ケネディがストーンを離した後に指で押す「ダブルタッチ」を犯したとスウェーデン側が主張。
二 | ケネディは否定したが、カーリングにあるまじき口論となったことが話題となった。
三 | その後、ケネディがストーンを指で押しているように見える映像や写真がSNSで出回り、非難の嵐。
四 | それでもカナダは競技に集中し栄光をつかんだ。
五 | ただし「カーリング・カナダ」の公式Xには、ケネディの問題の写真とともに「不正をした」と主張するリプライがズラリ。「不正で優勝しておめでとう」「誰も君たちの金メダルを認めていない。君たちは卑劣なうそつきだ。
六 | 世界中が見ていたぞ」などと納得がいかない人たちの非難の声が殺到している。 スウェーデンメディア「エクスプレッセン」によると、ケネディは決勝後、「今週は多くの憎しみがあったが、私たちはそれを遮断することを選んだ」と話し、「おそらくソーシャルメディアに戻ることはないだろう」と語った。ブラッド・ジェイコブズは「人々は不正という狂った言葉を使い、それを私たちのチームと結びつけた。それがモチベーションになった。
七 | カナダでのカーリングは私たちにとって特別なもの。誠実さは私たちにとって非常に評価されるものだ」と不正を改めて否定。「私たちを不正行為者呼ばわりしたすべての人、マーク・ケネディや私たちの家族、カナダについて否定的なことを言ったすべての人、私たちが表彰台の上に立ち、首に金メダルをかけて笑顔でいるその姿が、皆さんの脳裏に永遠に焼き付いていることを願っている」と胸を張った。
