HONG KONG: Hong Kong's leader warned on Tuesday (Jul 11) that the city will ban marine products from “a large number' of prefectures if Japan discharges treated radioactive wastewater
Chief Executive John Lee said in a press briefing that his government would err on the side of caution because the planned release of wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean is an unprecedented exercise.
“The action we will take, if the exercise really starts, is that we will be banning a large number prefectures' sea products,” he said. But he did not name which prefectures and what products will be affected. In 2021, Japan’s government announced plans to gradually release the treated - but still slightly radioactive - water following its dilution to what it says are safe levels. Japanese officials say the water, currently stored in about a thousand tanks at the plant, needs to be removed to prevent accidental leaks in case of an earthquake and to make room for the plant’s decommissioning.
The Hong Kong government will formulate policies in response to Japan's plans, Lee said on Tuesday, and they will be announced when ready.In the semi-autonomous southern Chinese city, the import of certain products - such as fruits and vegetables - from Fukushima is currently banned. Other products such as meat and poultry from there are allowed in if they come with a radiation certificate.
