Any Reasons Japan Has To Be Eager About Accepting a Korean Request?

 When first exposed to an article published by Yonhap News, reporting on Japan's reluctance to accept S. Korea to monitor Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, I questioned their intention to monitor Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant out of the concern that S. Korea will become one too many since Japan has secured top level experts not only domestically but also internationally. 

We must remember an old saying "Too many cooks spoil the broth." while keeping it in mind that Koreans are well-known fabricators and copycats. Besides, I really wonder why Japan has to accept S. Korean scientists into Japan's efforts to cope with the current crisis for them to monitor what has been going on.  Japan does not need any students or interns right now but real experts with full of useful knowledge and technology matched with the level of Japan.

There is also some growing suspicion that S. Korea has stolen Japan's nuclear technology as it is often discussed by some bloggers on internet.   See 韓国による「東芝原発技術盗難」の経緯 (all in Japanese)

 I noticed one blogger saying that S. Korea has so far constructed nuclear power plants in the areas facing the Sea of Japan 日本海 but not in the areas close to the Yellow Sea黄海 because winds always blow from the Yellow Sea to the Sea of Japan, reaching the western Japan where people must be aware of the possible fallout resulting from accidents and/or attacks by North Korea, etc.

It is so obvious that the government of S. Korea has intentionally situated nuke plants in the areas adjacent to the Sea of Japan to avoid any nuclear fallout on the Korean peninsula in case of accidents or attacks by North Korea or any others.

 In other words,  any nuclear fallout from Fukushima Daiichi has not reached directly the Korean peninsula while minute traces of fallout have been detected in some areas of the United States of America.

In the event that S. Korea desires  to know data on Fukushima Daiichi, it should access  IAEA at Fukushima Nuclear Accident Update Log as there remains suspicion that S. Korea may attempt to have access to the intricate and highly sophisticated work being carried out there.
