STORYLINE:
Japan started releasing the first batch of nuclear-contaminated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday.
This extremely selfish and irresponsible disposal of the radioactive water has aroused strong opposition from neighboring countries, Pacific island countries and local fishermen.
The 71-year-old fisherman Ono Haruo lives in Shinchi town, Fukushima Prefecture. He started fishing since he was 15 years old. He has expressed deep concern over his livelihood in the future.
SOUNDBITE (Japanese): ONO HARUO, Fisherman in Shinchi town, Fukushima Prefecture
"The fishery practitioners have not accepted (the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea). They talked with us many times and none of us has agreed. So the fishermen are still opposing it. Why did Prime Minister Fumio Kishida suppress these objections and give the order to release the water? I couldn't understand.
For us, the ocean discharge is a matter of survival. Once the ocean discharge starts, we are worried about whether the fish can still be sold. Moreover, discharging nuclear-contaminated wastewater cannot be completed in a year or two. It will last for a long time.
We work really hard to go fishing. We are proud of being a fisherman, and also hope that consumers can taste delicious fish. Do politicians understand this? They talk about the sea all the time, but the sea is not a trash bin. My three sons are all fishermen. I am opposed to the discharge (of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean) because I don't want them to lose their livelihood."
