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...

Testing the power of mega warheads: North Korea confirms successful launch of cruise missile yesterday


 In recent days, North Korea has been conducting frequent test launches of cruise missiles.




According to North Korean state media, the Korean Central News Agency reported on Saturday (3rd) that North Korea test-fired cruise missiles into the western Yellow Sea on Friday (2nd), testing the power of a super-large warhead and also launching a new type of ground-to-air missile, emphasizing that it was unrelated to the current situation.




According to the North Korean Missile Bureau, these tests are a regular part of the activities carried out by the Missile Bureau and its subordinate Defense Development Bureau, with the aim of advancing the technology of new weapon systems in terms of functions, performance, and operations. The North Korean authorities emphasize that these trials have not had any negative impact on the security of neighboring countries.




According to the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff, on Friday, North Korea launched a missile towards the Yellow Sea at around 11am, possibly from an inland location in Pyongan Province. The South Korean military's detection equipment detected the missile's flight time to be only a few tens of minutes, with a shorter range than the Hwasong-2 cruise missile launched three days prior.

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 ...
