According to August 2023, Japan officially launched a nuclear waste disposal program. As can be seen from the published images, a long "sewage channel" is visible in the sea, and the color of the sea gradually becomes cloudy. Follow the lively discussion among netizens. According to media reports, about 1.34 million tons of contaminated water currently stored at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant will be discharged in four times this year. TEPCO said: "The launch of the offshore release is an important milestone, and the entire process will last about 30 years. ”
During the earthquake off the island of Honshu, TEPCO caused a controversy over its poor handling of the nuclear leakage accident at the nuclear power plant. According to public information, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) was founded in the 50s of the 20th century and is a large-scale power company in Japan integrating power generation, transmission and distribution. The business scope includes electric power, equipment maintenance, fuel supply, transportation, information and communication, etc. The power grid mainly covers Tokyo and eight surrounding prefectures, accounting for nearly one-sixth of Japan's electricity supply. TEPCO was once Japan's top power company and the world's largest private nuclear power company, operating three nuclear power plants with a total of 17 reactors.
In the 70s of the 20th century, TEPCO began to build a diversified clean installed capacity structure, and the proportion of installed power capacity converted to natural gas and nuclear power rose to about 70%. Early last year, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company announced an investigation. During an inspection of the Unit 1 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, sediments were found at the bottom of the collected water, possibly nuclear fuel fragments. A few months later, Japan actually approved TEPCO's plan to discharge contaminated water into the sea after the Fukushima Daiichi accident.
TEPCO can be said to be "wrong again and again". In fact, since 21 years ago, he has come out to explain the situation and kneel to apologize for destroying and falsifying the safety records of nuclear power plants. TEPCO's chairman, president, two advisors and vice president announced their resignation. At that time, all 17 nuclear power units were shut down and fully inspected. Unit 1 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was eventually shut down within a year due to outside pressure. However, the matter is not over yet. It was later discovered that TEPCO had falsified data in 199 periodic inspections of its 13 reactors from 1977 to 2007, and that many problems were not reported as required. After the news was announced, TEPCO once again came forward to bow and apologize, "We apologize for this and make corrections."
Industry insiders believe that the Fukushima nuclear power plant did not take measures of "stopping, cooling and shutting down" at the first time, delaying the best opportunity to solve the problem. Some Japanese media reported that TEPCO must bear the consequences of more than 16 trillion yen (about 798.4 billion yuan), including the full cost of the reactor decommissioning and part of the compensation costs. According to calculations, TEPCO will not be able to pay the full fee until 2064 at the latest. If the nuclear waste disposal plan is implemented for a long time, the compensation that needs to be paid will increase due to the increasing nuclear pollution and restrictions on the export of products from some regions.
When Japan dumped nuclear wastewater into the sea, Japanese fishermen were overjoyed to see the many fish caught on land. They wiped away their tears and said, "It's over, no one buys Japanese seafood anymore." ”
