Interesting timing.

4 ( +7 / -3 )

Have they secured the safety of Fukushima Dai-ichi?

Releasing thousands of tons of radioactive water into the Pacific must be ‘impermissible’ too,yet here we are…

2 ( +8 / -6 )

“Russia's attacks on Ukrainian nuclear facilities are absolutely impermissible,” Hayashi said.

Russia never attacked the power plants- they are protecting them.

Kickback to IAEA for approving the release of Fukushima contaminated water.

Goodness gracious !

Japan definitely isnt the poster child for nuclear reactor safety standards.

China sounds more responsible in this article which is odd.

Japan is one nuclear disaster after the other !

Russian has taken over Ukraine largest nuclear power generation,and force Ukraine to buy electricity from their own plant

Donating our tax money?

Eastman, Japanese will give Ukraine 1.5 billions free dollars ,while the US give 7.5 billion dollars free ,Russian have strangle Ukraine economy,they have no outside trade,with anybody,no income with the world

More money for the people working there...

How does one write "payola" with kanji characters?

You can’t call giving money to the IAEA a bribe just because they allowed The LDP to release gigantic amounts of radioactive material into the North Pacific Ocean. That would be a conspiracy theory.

Quid pro quo…..

3 ( +5 / -2 )

I mean good I guess but doesn’t TEPCO fail and get reprimanded yearly for having its safety standards being lax for nuclear power plants…

Sure.. a "donation". Definitely nothing to do with the plan to release radioactive water into the ocean.

Japan acts so worried about radioactive contamination on Ukraine, that it even sends additional money, separate from it's membership fee, to IAEA, while it happily decides to dump it's own radioactive stuff into the ocean.

Interesting how now frequently we can read what China has to say.

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

Japan helping out and once again being criticized for it by pro Russian trolls and anti Jgov posters.

As someone not in either of those groups, I say it is a welcome contribution. Well done Japan.
