Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Kato: Drinking can not scientifically prove the safety of nuclear waste water

Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga declined to respond directly to questions from Phoenix Satellite TV on Thursday, saying only repeatedly that Japan’s upcoming discharge of wastewater is one-seventh of the World Health Organization’s drinking water.

Asked by reporters, Japan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso previously said that these waste water drinking no problem, Kato responded, although the statement is different, but Aso’s intention is to refer to wastewater to meet drinking water standards, but he would not directly answer whether the wastewater can be drunk, he said, even if drunk can not scientifically explain the safety of wastewater.
