Among the controversial controversies, up to 713,000 becquerels (Bq) of tritium were investigated in the basement of the Wolseong nuclear power plant site.
Ulsan Buk-gu is the location of the nuclear power plant, so it is located closer to the Wolseong nuclear power plant than the city center, such as the city hall of Gyeongju City, which receives abundant subsidies.
For this reason, the post-nuclear Ulsan Citizens’ Joint Action held a press conference at the Ulsan City Hall Press Center at 11 am on the 13th and said, “The government will conduct a health epidemiological investigation of the residents of the’Tokyo area’ and’Buk-gu of Ulsan’, which are areas near the Wolseong nuclear power plant. Asked “. (Related Article: “Wolseong Tritium Leakage,’Tokyo-Ulsan Buk-gu Residents’ Health Epidemiology Survey Needs”)
Ulsan Buk-gu was not still there. Ulsan Buk-gu Officer Lee Dong-kwon and the Buk-gu Council held a press conference at the Buk-gu Office on the afternoon of the 13th, along with the joint action of post-nuclear Ulsan citizens, and urged them to prepare measures.
“Include Buk-gu residents of Ulsan in Wolseong tritium leak investigation team”
Director of Buk-gu Lee Dong-kwon urged KHNP and the Nuclear Safety Committee to “make a thorough investigation into tritium spills and transparently disclose the results of the investigation and prepare measures accordingly,” and “compose a fact-finding team and include the people of Ulsan Buk-gu into the investigation team.” did.
In addition, “After this tritium leak, conduct tritium detection and human impact assessment services in the Ulsan Buk-gu region, and disclose the results transparently.” “In the event of a future accident, promptly disclose accurate information and share it with Ulsan Buk-gu. “He asked.
Ward mayor Lee Dong-kwon and councilor Koo urged them, saying, “The unfortunate news of the outflow of tritium at the Wolseong nuclear power plant in the midst of depression due to the corona and cold wave is making the hearts of residents uneasy through the media and social media.”
These include’Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant site widespread exposure to radioactive contamination’,’Tritium detection in groundwater at 10 locations at Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant’, ‘713,000 bacrel detection in the groundwater drainage tank of Wolsong Unit 3’, and’Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant 300 The meter point also raised the possibility of spreading out of the nuclear power plant site due to the detection of 924 Bacrel, and pointed out that “the situation in which KHNP’s overall poor management and concealment is suspected”.
In particular, he conveyed the feelings of Buk-gu, Ulsan, which has been marginalized even though it is the area near the nuclear power plant. They complained, “In the meantime, our Buk-gu is located closer than downtown Gyeongju in terms of actual distance from the Wolseong nuclear power plant, but because of the different administrative districts, we have been isolated from various safety measures.
In addition, “We asked for the inclusion of our Buk-gu residents in the’Environmental Impact and Citizen Health Epidemiology Survey on Tritium Emissions’ conducted by KHNP since 2015, but did not reflect it. “Services” were conducted.”
Lee Dong-kwon, head of Buk-gu, said, “In 2017, he visited the Radiation Health Center of KHNP and requested that Buk-gu residents be included in the tritium human body impact assessment, and the results of the impact assessment conducted in 2019, including only 150 people. I am waiting.”
In particular, “the request to collect and reflect the opinions of the residents, including the results of the referendum on the construction of Maxtor last year, was also thoroughly excluded,” he said. “In the event of a small accident in a nuclear power plant, KHNP has to communicate the situation to nearby local governments and share it transparently. The situation is responding,” he criticized.
Buk-gu mayor Lee Dong-kwon declared, “If the requirements related to the nuclear accident are not fulfilled in the future, we will respond strongly by mobilizing all means, including a request for a meeting with the president of KHNP, a protest visit to a resident group, and a protest in connection with a nuclear disarmament group.”
In addition, “Our district is planning to check whether there are radioactive substances such as tritium by conducting a living radiation investigation service in the facility as well as requesting strong measures from KHNP,” he said. “This service is conducted regularly every two years to check the presence of radioactive substances, and If this is the case, he emphasized, “I will demand strong measures from KHNP.
At the same time, he called for the attention of the residents of Buk-gu, saying, “We will do our best to make Buk-gu safe from nuclear power plants, such as securing budget for radiation countermeasures, building alarm systems, securing equipment, and conducting education and training.”
