On August 24, despite the opposition of the international community, the Japanese government insisted on discharging Fukushima nuclear sewage into the sea.
It has planted a great bane in the history of mankind.
In fact, before the nuclear sewage was discharged into the sea, the Japanese government had already racked its brains in an attempt to offset people's fears and panic about nuclear wastewater.
In October 2011, at a press conference,
In order to convince the Japanese that "nuclear-contaminated water is harmless and drinkable",
Yasuhiro Sonoda, who was the cabinet secretary at the time, was in full view,
He drank a bottle of nuclear sewage from the No. 5 and No. 6 reactors of the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
Even if the nuclear wastewater has been simply filtered before,
But there is still a lot of radioactive material that cannot be removed.
He is well aware of this, too.
When his mouth touched the cup, his body subconsciously trembled.
But in order to save the face of the Japanese government, he then divided two mouthfuls and drank the small half cup of nuclear sewage.
Afterwards, he pretended to be calm and said:
"Treated water has proven to be safe."
Since drinking nuclear sewage, Yasuhiro Sonoda has not disclosed his physical condition in public, and his life and death are still unknown.
To prove that nuclear sewage is harmless, obviously everyone does not buy it.
Even the Japanese themselves could not help but question:
- "Since there is a so-called 'scientific basis' that this water is safe to drink,
So why don't Japan's ministers of economy, trade and industry drink this water? ”
- "If you don't drink a glass of nuclear sewage every day for a year,
Then I will not be convinced by you. ”
It should be known that Fukushima nuclear sewage contains 64 radioactive substances including tritium, carbon-14, iodine-129, strontium-90, and cesium-137.
These radioactive materials accumulate in marine organisms over many years.
Not only can it cause various serious diseases, but there is even the possibility of damaging human DNA.
A serious accident may make more people understand the dangers of radioactive elements.
When the hazards of radiation exposure are not fully understood,
Radioactive elements have been used in a lot of crazy places.
It is believed that radioactive elements have miraculous curative effects and cure all diseases.
At that time, women believed that cosmetics containing radium could rejuvenate and brighten the skin;
Men believe that radium can keep their golden guns from falling,
At that time, there was a radiation panty, which was claimed to be able to care for men's lower bodies with radiation in an all-round way.
Water containing radium has become a tonic for the rich and famous.
At that time, there was an American rich man named Eben Beyer, who drank a total of 1400 bottles of radium water in just three years.
It was not until the outbreak of the "Radium Girl" incident that everyone saw the true face of Radium clearly.
Between 1917 and 1926,
The American Radium Company employs more than 100 workers to paint the clock faces of clocks with their patented luminous paint.
This luminous paint contains a certain amount of radium, so female workers work with radium every day.
This was a job that was the envy of everyone at the time, because radium could be enjoyed for free without spending money.
Here, the girl from the factory is called the "female ghost",
Just because they paint their watches in the factory every day after radium,
At night when they come home from work, their whole bodies glow green like ghosts.
They wear their favorite dresses to work.
I just hope that the skirt can also flash this beautiful night light at night.
They, like all the people, never found luminous paint harmful.
These paints are also applied to the hair and even used for manicures.
These girls "shine like a luminous watch in a dark room",
It was as if they were timers themselves, counting down the few seconds left in their lives.
Some girls often use their mouths to keep the nib sharp so that they can paint the dial more delicately.
But it's strange that these women can't do it for long.
They always became seriously ill very quickly and left their posts not long after.
Almost without exception. They suffer from anemia, toothache, jaw ulcers, joint pain, and spontaneous fractures.
In addition, their bodies mutate.
For example, a huge tumor has grown in the chin, the knee has become cancerous, and some even have tumors the size of grapefruit emerging from the eye socket.
What they don't know is that
The reason for this is because radium is a radioactive element,
Once ingested into the body, they enter the bones just like calcium.
Radium, which is absorbed by bones, remains in the human body.
It produces two types of radiation: alpha particles and gamma rays.
If they are outside the body, there is no danger,
But if they were in the body, they would break the bones of these girls into a hornet's nest.
At that time, a "radium girl" named Emily,
Since 1921, there have been constant problems in the body,
Anemia, huge tumors in the chin, stomach ulcers, etc.,
In 1923, after enduring 2 years of torture, Emily died,
The death report reads: Died of a stomach ulcer.
At the time, a medical examiner performed an autopsy on Emily,
It was found that Emily did not simply die of a stomach ulcer, her symptoms were very similar to radium poisoning,
He drafted a report: "Unknown Hazards of the Use of Radioactive Materials".
The report caused an uproar in the United States.
Since then, the mysterious and similar deaths of the radium girl have attracted the attention of some forensic doctors,
They opened the coffin for an autopsy and placed the cleaned remains in a darkroom and wrapped them in X-ray negatives.
After a while, the negatives were covered with all kinds of white spots, which were all emitted by the radium in the bones of these girls.
You can imagine how much radium these girls ingested before they died.
If the bones of a female worker who have been dead for 5 years are still so radioactive,
So, what will happen to the bones of those living female workers?
The female workers suddenly realized that they had been deceived, and the radium that was sipped into their mouths during work was simply poisonous!
In order to get justice for themselves, and even more for the workers who are still engaged in the work of painting radium,
As a result, five female workers, led by Grace, decided to file a class-action lawsuit against American Radium Enterprises.
At that time, several of the women who appealed were already suffering from illness, and their days were running out, and they could not even raise their arms to read their oaths.
The lawsuit was entangled for 3 years before the trial began,
American radium enterprises want to fight a delaying war, they know that as long as they drag on until these female workers are sick and die, they will win...
Finally, with the disclosure of radium toxicity, American radium companies became the target of everyone,
The company could not withstand the pressure and finally agreed to compensate the women workers.
Pity these young girls in their early 20s,
Although he received a high amount of compensation, he could not change his fate of dying.
Within a few years of receiving compensation, all of these women workers had died.
The half-life of radium is 1600 years,
Now those radium girls who are buried in the ground,
Their bones are still faintly emitting rays...
It can be seen that the harm of radioactive elements to human beings is huge and long-lasting.
If Japan discharges nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean, according to expert calculations,
In less than half a year, because of the movement of ocean currents in the Pacific Ocean, the entire Pacific Ocean will be filled with nuclear pollution,
The whole world will pay for it, and human DNA will be damaged by nuclear radiation.
Humanity will eventually pay a huge price for Japan's folly.
