JAPANESE Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's reassurance to the International Olympic Committee that contaminated water leaks from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant are "under control" has backfired at home. 

安倍首相の発言：「汚染水の海への流出問題は制御されている」

日本の安部首相は、東京オリンピック誘致のために, 福島原発事故からの放射能汚染について｢安全である｣というスピーチが国内ではしっぺ返しを食らっている。

Just hours before Tokyo was chosen September 7 to host the 2020 Olympics, Abe gave an emphatic speech declaring that radioactive contaminants from the leakage had no impact to waters outside the bay near the plant and "will never do any damage to Tokyo".
The Japanese media and opposition lawmakers have suggested that Abe's comments were overkill.
"Contaminated water 'control' running astray," the nationwide Asahi newspaper said in its front-page top story on Saturday.
"Credibility of prime minister's message to overseas is shaking."
Hikariko Ono of the prime minister's office defended Abe's pledge, citing offshore monitoring results showing undetectable radioactivity. The government has stepped up efforts to contain the leaks.

In a meeting with opposition Democratic Party of Japan lawmakers on Friday, senior TEPCO official Kazuhiko Yamashita said the water situation was "not under control," contradicting Abe.

DPJ leaders said they will demand Abe clarify his IOC speech. 野党の民主党のリーダーは阿部首相に対して, 釈明を求めることにしている。
