At 10:30 Beijing time on October 5, according to Japan's Asahi Shimbun, Japan has officially begun the second phase of nuclear contaminated water discharge this year. After the news was announced, it quickly rushed to the hot search.
Interestingly, under the impact of the tsunami caused by the subsequent earthquake in Japan, a lot of nuclear contaminated water was poured back into Japan, so what is going on?
It is reported that on October 3, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company began to use about 1,200 tons of seawater to dilute about 1 ton of water in the tank, and put it into the tank to measure the tritium concentration.
On October 5, it was found that the concentration reached the standard, so the discharge officially began. TEPCO said it expects to discharge 7,800 tons of nuclear-contaminated water for 17 days.
According to the previous plan, a total of 31,200 tons will be emitted this year, and 7,788 tons have been emitted in the previous stage. This act has aroused widespread concern and questioning from the international community, including the mainland, that the Japanese government has acted improperly in handling the issue of nuclear pollution.
However, TEPCO still carried out the re-emission despite the opposition. However, just half an hour after the discharge of the contaminated water began, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck the waters near Honshu, Japan, causing a tsunami.
According to the latest news at half past one in the afternoon of the 5th, the current tsunami height is more than 1 meter and has landed in Japan.
This sudden incident made the Japanese people around Fukushima very worried about the impact of the discharge of contaminated water, because it is clear that the earthquake and tsunami caused seawater to be irrigated, and some of the newly discharged contaminated water was directly poured back into Japan.
In fact, since the 6.0 magnitude earthquake near Honshu Island on October 3, Japan has had two consecutive earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher in three days.
This frequent seismic activity has attracted the attention of Japan's National Police Agency, Defense Agency, Coast Guard, and Central Disaster Prevention Department, because in September, they had already predicted that the probability of another earthquake of magnitude 7 or higher in Japan would exceed 70%.
This will lead to the early awakening and eruption of the super-active volcano of Mt. Fuji, so as soon as the tsunami occurred in Japan, we contacted the Mt. Fuji monitoring point, and then focused on monitoring the anomaly of Mt. Fuji.
After this news came out, many people began to think, is it really a coincidence that a major earthquake and tsunami occurred immediately after the discharge of nuclear contaminated water?
Of course, from the perspective of scientific analysis, the two are certainly not directly related. However, the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water itself is strongly opposed by the public in Japan.
Now the continuous occurrence of natural disasters has exacerbated the panic and anxiety of the local people, and perhaps there will be more pressure on TEPCO in the future.
What do you think about this?
