Wolseong nuclear power plant No. 1 in July 2012. Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power
Amid controversy over the detection of tritium, a radioactive material, in the groundwater of the Wolseong nuclear power plant site in Gyeongsangbuk-do, residents living near the nuclear power plant were not receiving any information from the Korean Hydro and Nuclear Power Plant, claiming that KHNP was consistent with it.
In addition, he criticized that the amount of tritium contaminated with groundwater was about 6 bananas and 1 gram of anchovies, saying it was “pathetic” towards the power of one scholar and the people who cited it.
Lee Jae-geol, a resident near the Wolseong nuclear power plant site, appeared on CBS Kim Jong-dae’s news-up on the 12th and said, “I never imagined this would happen. “I was very angry at this.
Civic groups in Gyeongju recently announced that tritium was detected in the groundwater of about 10 Wolseong nuclear power plant sites as a result of KHNP’s own investigation last year. Leakage is up to 713,000 becquerels, 18 times that of the management standard.
On the other hand, KHNP confronts that no hazardous substances were detected outside the nuclear power plant, and the amount of such substances is insignificant without affecting the human body. However, despite the claims of KHNP, citizens’ anxiety is growing.
“The amount of exposure is only 6 bananas? Experts say”
On the 12th, members of the People’s Power of the Science and Technology Information Broadcasting and Communications Commission, including Rep. Park Sung-joong, are holding a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall calling for the cessation of the investigation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant and the spread of systematic fake news.

Mr. Lee said, “There is no way (either the government or KHNP) will do anything about this problem,” he said. “At the time of the national inspection two years ago (the damaged part of the nuclear power plant) was said to be repaired by January last year. You have to tell me a story. There is no basic story.”
Lee said, “There is no external leakage of tritium, and it happened within the site, so the residents are safe,” he said. “This is a real nonsense”. “What was discovered is groundwater at the boundary of the site, where the underground water veins are flowing? (After the completion of the nuclear power plant), have you not been able to grasp such things for 40 years?”
He raised his voice, saying, “It’s not a problem to say,’It’s safe unconditionally, you don’t have to know the situation’ in a situation where you don’t know where it comes from and where it goes.”
Mr. Lee said, “This is not what the experts say,” he said, saying, “The annual exposure of tritium to residents around the Wolseong nuclear power plant consumes 6 bananas and 1 gram of anchovy.” It is a substance that causes cancer, and long-term exposure to genetic modification causes cancer, but comparing it to 1 gram of anchovies and 6 bananas seems to have a problem with the conscience of the scholar.”
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) professor Jeong Yong-hoon said on his Facebook page on the 8th, “The exposure of tritium to the local residents around Wolseong for a year is when they ate 6 bananas and 1g of anchovies.” “It’s only one-hundredth of a chest x-ray,” he said.
Professor Jeong said, “It is natural that the Wolseong nuclear power plant generates a lot of tritium, that the Wolseong nuclear power plant has a higher tritium concentration than the surrounding villages, and that there may be places inside the nuclear power plant higher than the boundary.” “The amount of exposure at the level discussed now is not related to cancer.”
Mr. Lee also pointed out that he was “pathetic” about the politicians fighting against it. “If you think about the position of the residents who are living under threat of life and safety, I would not say that.”
Lee Nak-yeon, the leader of the Democratic Party, criticized the auditor for failing to confirm the leak of radioactive materials. Accordingly, members of the People’s Power of the Science, Technology Information Broadcasting and Communication Committee held a press conference, saying, “The amount of tritium (leaked) is at the level of 6 bananas and 1 gram of anchovies, and it is spreading as a ghost story.”
