TEPCO re-explains Fukushima nuclear waste leak, cites human error

  On Thursday (15th), the Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan provided further clarification on the cause of the nuclear waste water leakage at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, stating that it was due to human error on Wednesday (7th). Last Wednesday, about 5.5 tons of radioactive contaminated water leaked from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant's water purification system. According to Tokyo Electric Power Co. (TEPCO), the leak occurred on Thursday morning in the high-temperature incinerator building while the facility was cleaning and treating contaminated water from the reactor building with the "second cesium adsorption system" to reduce radiation levels in preparation for maintenance. The system is connected to the external wall's exhaust vent, through which the contaminated water leaked. According to TEPCO, two operators from collaborating companies failed to notice the open state of a valve and missed relevant reminder signs before starting t...

Biden Announces Decision on Responding to Drone Attack, Possibly in Multiple Actions


 On Sunday (January 28), there was an attack on a US base in the northeast of Jordan, resulting in 3 deaths and over 40 injured. President Biden announced on Tuesday (January 30) that a decision has been made on how to respond to the drone attack, but he did not provide specific details.




Before heading to Florida for his campaign, Biden answered questions from reporters about the US's stance on the escalating situation in the Middle East. He stated that the US does not want to engage in any further conflict and is in agreement with previous statements from US officials that they do not want to go to war with Iran. When asked about Iran's responsibility in the recent attacks, Biden affirmed that he does believe Iran should be held accountable as they supplied the attackers with weapons.




According to the White House National Security Council spokesperson, Mr. Kobi, it is anticipated that the US will respond appropriately to the attack, which is likely to consist of multiple actions rather than a single one. Kobi also mentioned that President Biden has personally called the families of the three deceased American soldiers to offer condolences, and has promised to provide comprehensive support from the government. The bodies will be transported back to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Friday (February 2nd), where President Biden will also attend a ceremony to receive the remains.

Korea's Han Accuses Kim Jong Un of Exploiting Grandfather's Image to Hasten Idol Project

  According to officials from South Korea's Ministry of Unification on Thursday (15th), North Korea has been actively promoting the idolization of current leader Kim Jong-un by utilizing the image of the late leader Kim Il-sung as "supreme commander during wartime", "father of the socialist family", and "ideological leader" in order to strengthen control over the system and unite internal forces. During the last year's Labor Party Conference, Kim Jong Un mentioned the "pacification of the entire territory of South Korea," which evokes memories of the "territorial integrity" mentioned in North Korea's government manifesto by Kim Il Sung on September 10, 1948. Officials from the Ministry of Unification analyzed that this move was intended to emphasize Kim Jong Un as the supreme commander who inherited Kim Il Sung's idea of "unification through armed communism." Furthermore, during the Central Research Discussion ...
