Monitoring of nuclear-contaminated water discharged by Japan to continue

China said on Monday that it found no abnormality in the activity concentration of hazardous elements such as tritium, cesium-134, cesium-137 and strontium-90 in seawater and marine life samples the country independently collected from waters nearby the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station.

The samples were collected by domestic laboratories in late February under the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency, according to a statement released by the China Atomic Energy Authority.

"As China has repeatedly pointed out, a single test result showing no abnormalities does not guarantee that future tests will also be problem-free," Foreign Ministry spokesman Lin Jian said on Monday, noting that China's stance against Japan's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water has never changed.
