Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida invited his ministers to lunch on Wednesday and was served salmon caught in Fukushima Prefecture, where treated radioactive water taken from the Fukushima nuclear power plant destroyed by a tsunami years ago was spilled into the sea. .
After the Japanese government's decision to dump the waters into the sea, China decided to stop trading in the country all marine products coming from Japan.
Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Yasutoshi Nishimura, Minister of Children's Policy, Masanobu Ogura, and Minister of Finance were present at the salmon tasting. They were served salmon, octopus and other fish caught in the waters near Fukushima.
Japan started pouring water on August 24 as part of the operation to finally shut down the nuclear plant, which was hit by a tsunami in 2011, causing the world's biggest nuclear incident since Chernobyl 25 years ago.
On Sunday, the Ministry of the Environment said that tests carried out in the sea, near the station, have not detected radioactivity. Even Japanese scientific organizations say that the water is safe, as all radioactive elements have been removed.
