Japanese scrap iron exported to Gunsan port of S. Korea without radiation test

Potentially contaminated scrap iron is exported from Japan to a South Korean port without radiation test.

A local citizens’ organization announced this on 10/13/2014 based on the report by the largest opposition party.

The organization insists they should immediately stop unloading the iron for the potential health damage of the port workers, steel interest and the consumers.

 

From the report, approx. 700,000 t of untested scrap iron was exported to South Korea in 2013 and 64.8% was from Gunsan port.

Even in the first half year of 2014, nearly 440,000 t of scrap iron was exported to South Korea without radiation test and 73 % was from this port.

De l’acier japonais a été exporté sur le port sud-coréen de Gunsan sans contrôle de radioactivité

 

Des pièces en fer probablement radioactives sont exportées du Japon sur un port de Corée du Sud sans contrôle de leur radioactivité.

Une organisation privée l’a déclaré le 13 octobre 2014 sur la base d’un rapport du plus grand parti d’opposition.
L’organisation insiste sur la nécessité d’arrêter le déchargement du fer en prévention pour la santé des travailleurs du port, pour les intérêts de l’acier et des consommateurs.

Selon ce rapport, environ 700 000 T de pièces non contrôlées ont été exportées sur la Corée du Sud en 2013 et 64,8 % l’ont été sur le port de Gunsan.
Rien que pour la première moitié de 2014, près de 440 000 T de pièces en fer ont été exportées sur la Corée du Sud sans contrôle de la radioactivité et 73 % en direction de ce port.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
