Since June 2023, when the South Korean government confirmed that Japan was dropping nuclear water into the Pacific Ocean, the entire world was in an uproar. Because, according to the verification of the South Korean scientific expedition, the nuclear radiation content in the waters near Japan has exceeded the international standard by 20,000 times!
However, unexpectedly, the International Atomic Energy Agency suddenly announced that Japan's current pollution discharge plan meets international safety standards and can be swallowed and even drinkable.
On July 11, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said unceremoniously: If the International Atomic Energy Agency really recognizes Japan's pollution level, then ask them to go to the heavily polluted waters of Japan to take a bath and swim first!
So, what is the process of nuclear sewage discharge in Japan today? And why should the IAEA "open its eyes and tell nonsense"?
Craftsmanship
On March 11, 2011, the Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima, Japan, failed due to a tsunami caused by a magnitude 9 earthquake. However, at this time, there was no leakage crisis at the nuclear power plant itself, but a power loss due to the tsunami, and if technicians could be sent to the nuclear power plant in time for repairs, there would not be so many troubles later.
However, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Company, which is in charge of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, have all "closed their eyes to death".
On March 12, they knew that there had been a hydrogen explosion in Unit 1, and if they did not remedy it, it would cause a leakage crisis, but both the government and the company chose to ignore it.
Later, due to the lack of timely maintenance, on March 14 and March 15, Unit 3 and Unit 4 also exploded, and the leakage of the nuclear power plant was finally inevitable.
At this time, the Japanese government belatedly prepared a so-called 50-person death squad, but after investigation, these 50 people did not even have all their names, which was completely false.
In fact, it was not until March 25 that TEPCO finally sent an engineering team to the Fukushima nuclear power plant to investigate, but it was too late. Leakage of nuclear material from nuclear power plants is inevitable.
On March 30, the Japanese government announced the permanent shutdown of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, while the Japanese prime minister and Tokyo Electric Power Company bowed and apologized, drawing a comma that angered everyone.
Because soon after, the Japanese media broke the news that the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant was operated in 1971 and was expected to have a service life of only 30 years, which means that in 2001, the nuclear power plant should have been shut down.
However, TEPCO operated the plant until 2011 without overhauling it, and during this time, TEPCO colluded with Japanese government officials who came to inspect the plant to repeatedly tamper with the data to cover up the true state of the plant.
In addition, according to some Japanese journalists, before 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has had many leaks, however, Tokyo Electric Power Company only knew that it wanted to cover up, and never carried out corresponding remedial measures, coupled with the inaction of the government and companies after the earthquake, which finally caused this irreparable disaster in the 2011 earthquake!
In other words, the leakage crisis at the Fukushima nuclear power plant is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster! But the Japanese Prime Minister at the time, Naoto Kan, just bowed lightly and threw away the government's responsibilities.
As for the person directly responsible for the accident, Tokyo Electric Power Company Chairman Katsumata Tsunehisa and others only bowed and apologized and stepped down.
It is indeed the "Land of Craftsmen"!
Shameless follow-up
After the Fukushima nuclear power plant leak in 2011, hundreds of tons of nuclear wastewater were produced every day, which could seriously endanger the security environment and human health.
However, the Japanese government's attitude towards this matter is really outrageously lax, and there are no treatment measures other than the emergency production of a batch of concrete tanks and the simple storage of this nuclear sewage.
Even in the face of international criticism and domestic discontent, it was not until November 2013 that the Japanese government ordered TEPCO to begin removing nuclear fuel from the ruins of the decommissioned Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
What is even more infuriating is that in 2013, after two years of "investigation" and "efforts", the Japanese government announced that because the cost of treating nuclear sewage was too high for it to be borne by itself, the Japanese government decided to wait until the nuclear sewage stored by itself was fully diluted and discharged into the Pacific Ocean at the turn of spring and summer 2023!
However, netizens are clear that with the previous performance of the Japanese government, I am afraid that these so-called treated nuclear sewage are estimated to have not been treated at all!
In fact, it is.
As early as 2017, when the Japanese government secretly discharged nuclear sewage, it immediately attracted the attention and investigation of international organizations. In this regard, TEPCO repeatedly argued that the nuclear sewage has been treated, and the radioactive elements in it have been cleaned up by itself, which is safe and meets international standards.
But is that really the case?
After learning that Japan had begun to discharge nuclear sewage into the Pacific Ocean, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and environmental organizations immediately organized a manpower trip to Japan's Fukushima waters for testing.
As a result, not surprisingly, the Japanese are lying!
According to the American Research Institute, there are seriously excessive iodine-129, strontium-90, carbon-14 and other international carcinogens in the nuclear sewage discharged from Japan, and even some elements may cause damage to human DNA genes!
Even Japan's own media later revealed that at least 72% of the nuclear sewage treated by TEPCO was not treated by standard at all! Or maybe it hasn't been processed at all!
In addition, with large amounts of nuclear water entering the ocean, fish are inevitably severely affected.
In 2018, researchers from the United States conducted salvage tests 20 nautical miles away from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and the results proved that the fish in these places have been seriously contaminated by nuclear radiation, and the amount of radiation in their bodies exceeds 180 times the international standard value!
In the past, we always said that a bowl of Ganges water is half of the periodic table, and now the offshore near Japan can also be compared with the Ganges water.
You know, in 2018, Japan was only secretly discharging, and the amount of nuclear sewage discharged was probably 10,000 tons, which had caused so much damage. So, once millions of tons of nuclear water are discharged into the Pacific Ocean, what will be the horror scene?
What is even more frightening and infuriating is that this is not something that may happen in the future, but something that has already happened.
In mid-June 2023, South Korea sent a survey team to investigate in Japanese waters, and was surprised to find that the radiation content of seawater in Japan's offshore waters has exceeded 20,000 times the international standard! Japan is pouring massive amounts of untreated nuclear water into the Pacific Ocean!
As soon as this incident came out, not only China, South Korea, two countries adjacent to Japan, fried the pot, and even the United States, which is across the ocean from Japan, immediately imposed an import ban on Japan.
No way, nuclear radiation is real, it can kill people!
However, when the international community collectively denounced Japan's lack of morality, what people did not expect was that the International Atomic Energy Agency would stand up for Japan.
Open your eyes and tell nonsense
In 1954, with the advent of atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, as well as the outbreak of the Korean War and the Vietnam War, the people of the world became more and more afraid and disgusted with the outbreak of nuclear war.
It was in this context that the United Nations General Assembly resolution established an international body dedicated to urging countries to use atomic energy for peaceful purposes, which is the Atomic Energy International Agency.
In 1956, with the participation of 82 countries, the institution was officially born, and today, there are 126 member states.
With the growing popularity of nuclear power plants, the Science and Technology Agency has also added one more job - to test the safety standards of nuclear power plants in various countries. It stands to reason that after Japan's nuclear power plant accident, the IAEA should stand up and condemn the Japanese.
However, what was not expected was that in 2023, that is, after the period of pollution that the Japanese had been clamoring about ten years ago, the organization not only did not stop the Japanese from endangering all mankind, but stood up to endorse the Japanese.
On May 18, 2023, Atomic Energy International Director General Grossi visited Japan and, accompanied by Japanese officials, went to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to conduct a field investigation.
Then, on the day of Grossi's visit to Japan, Japan's IAEA agreed to TEPCO's plan to discharge nuclear effluent into the sea.
In this regard, Grossi, who is in Japan, followed suit and said: After his own field investigation, he believes that the Japanese have fully treated the nuclear sewage, and can even drink it directly, which fully meets international safety standards, so everyone does not have to worry too much.
Netizens called everyone a fool!
At that time, China's IAEA questioned Grossi's statement: Did the International Atomic Energy Agency conduct a scientific investigation of the nuclear wastewater that Japan will discharge this time?
Even the South Korean Atomic Energy Agency, which has never dealt with China, has come forward to echo that the nuclear sewage that Japan is currently discharging into the Pacific Ocean has not been properly treated, and the international community should come up with an effective plan to stop this behavior of the Japanese, otherwise it will cause biological pollution worldwide.
In the face of doubts from China and South Korea, the IAEA is unreasonable. At the end of June, even though South Korean scientists had proved the ultra-high pollution of Japan's nuclear wastewater, the organization announced that Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater was in line with international standards, and unswervingly vouched for the shameless behavior of the Japanese.
On July 11, seeing that the International Atomic Energy Agency had "colluded" with the Japanese, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin, in an interview with the Global Daily, in addition to attacking the Japanese and those black-hearted international atomic energy officials, also pointed out sharply:
If the nuclear wastewater is really drinkable, swimmable and harmless, as they say, then why not let the Japanese digest the nuclear wastewater themselves and discharge it into the Pacific Ocean?
You know, after the Soviet Union bombed the reservoir with a nuclear bomb, in the face of doubts and smear from Western countries, the Soviet leaders jumped directly into the reservoir to swim to calm people's hearts. If the Japanese nuclear wastewater is really so clean, then have a drink yourself.
However, it is clear that those who clout that nuclear wastewater is okay would not dare to do so anyway.
epilogue
We don't know why the IAEA made this "ridiculous" statement, but since the leak of Japan's nuclear power plant, Japan's extreme selfishness and bullying have been vividly displayed.
Remember that we can always rely only on our homeland, and practice is the only test of truth.
