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...
Media reports: U.S. builds up logistics network in the Pacific in case of a possible mainland attack on Taiwan
According to reports, the United States left behind a batch of military equipment in Australia after last year's "Bodyguard Sabre" exercise to assist with resupply efforts.
According to British media reports on Wednesday (January 31st), the United States is establishing a logistical network in the Pacific region in preparation for a potential attack by mainland China on Taiwan in the coming years. The reports indicate that after a joint exercise called "Guardian Saber" involving 13 countries, including the US and Australia, in August last year, the US has left a stockpile of military equipment in a warehouse in Bendigo, southeast Australia.
The US military has not previously disclosed this batch of equipment, which includes approximately 330 vehicles, trailers, and 130 containers, enough to support about three logistics companies and at least 500 soldiers to ensure supplies reach the hands of combat personnel. These resources will be used for future exercises, to respond to natural disasters or war.
According to Charles Flynn, the commander of the US Pacific Army, the US hopes to see an increase in this type of arrangement and has already reached agreements with several countries in the region, although he did not specify which countries.
According to a report from British media, after interviewing more than 20 current and former US officials, it was discovered that the US military's logistics in the Pacific region is one of its biggest weaknesses in any potential conflict in the Taiwan Strait. The report also points out that the US military's war games have concluded that in the event of a war, the mainland may attempt to bomb aerial refueling planes or tankers, in order to weaken the US's air and sea combat capabilities without engaging in combat with fully armed fighter jets or sinking US naval vessels. It is also possible that the US's missile defense systems on its ships could quickly deplete their ammunition. To address these vulnerabilities, the US is currently expanding its military supply centers throughout the region, including warehouses in Australia, while also increasing cooperation with the Philippines, Japan, and other Pacific partners.
