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.

Enhancing Military Cooperation between Japan and Australia to Increase Deterrence against China


 On Monday (15th), multiple individuals associated with the Japanese government revealed that the governments of Japan and Australia are currently discussing ways to enhance cooperation, such as sharing intelligence between the Self-Defense Forces and the Australian military when unforeseen situations arise in the vicinity of both countries. In light of China's movements, the two countries are also exploring possibilities for expanding joint training and conducting Japan's long-range missile launch tests in Australia.




According to reliable sources, the Japanese government views Australia as a quasi-ally, second only to the United States, in hopes of increasing their deterrent power against China. It is speculated that in the event of a sudden crisis in the East China Sea or other surrounding areas of Japan, there could also be an emergency situation in the South Pacific and South China Sea, which are close to Australia. It seems that the defense departments of both countries are currently working together to coordinate their response strategies to potential crises and discuss methods for sharing intelligence.




In October 2022, the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, and the Australian Prime Minister, Albanese, signed a new joint declaration on security cooperation. The declaration includes a discussion on improving the effectiveness of security and defense cooperation through collaboration in various areas, purposes, and forms. As a result, the two governments have initiated negotiations.




The two countries have signed a "Mutual Access Agreement" to facilitate smooth communication between their forces and increase the joint training frequency of the three major self-defense forces and the Australian military. The two countries hope to clarify their responsibilities and improve the quality of training through negotiations. They are currently discussing the possibility of frequent exchanges of Japan's stealth fighter F-35 between Japan and Australia, as well as conducting multiple simulated electronic warfare training exercises.

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 ...
