I don't know the spoke
Recently, everyone can be described as "talking about nuclear color change", Japan some time ago thousands of tons of dead fish carcasses were washed ashore, and people in the surrounding countries were about to be scared to death, but I didn't expect this "fierce material" to be still behind.
Foreign media recently broke the news that a nuclear leak is taking place at Europe's largest and most dangerous nuclear facility! And one leak is a leak for three years!
Many people began to worry: Is a terrible biochemical disaster really not far from us?!
The nuclear leak was revealed by the British media "The Guardian", and the leak was a nuclear facility called Sellafield, located on the coast of Cumbria in the northwest of England, across the sea from Northern Ireland.
With an area of 6 square kilometers and 11,000 employees, Sellafield specializes in the storage and disposal of nuclear waste from obsolete nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants.
In 2019, there was a nuclear leak in Sellafield, but the problem was not only unsolved, but also continued to worsen in the following two years, with an average of 2.3-2.5 cubic meters of radioactive liquid leaking every day.
In July 2022, the British government admitted that the nuclear leak has continued at a rate of 2.5 cubic meters per day since 2020.
And the EU report pointed out that once a serious accident occurred in Sellafield, the consequences may be even more terrible than the Chernobyl incident in 1986!
As soon as the news came out, the first to break the big defense were Chinese students, and the circle of friends went crazy.
Think about it, this nuclear wastewater leak is 3 years, if you happen to go to the UK for an undergraduate in 2019, it is simply "in the radiation and do not know the radiation"...
Some people said that when they first arrived in the UK, they found that the tap water could be drunk directly, and after tasting several sips, they found it a little sweet.
After checking on the Internet, it may be that the water pipe is aging and the lead content of the water is excessive, and I thought it was nothing at the time. Looking back now, I feel uncomfortable.
Some people are even more desperate, they just heard the news in half a year, they didn't want any credits, packed their bags and returned to China.
Some people even sarcastically: the hardest thing in the UK is not the water quality, it is the life of international students...
Some international students even "communicated" their illnesses on social media, some suspected that they had lost their hair, and some joked that "quickly turn off the lights to see if the hair on their bodies does not shine".
This comes down to it, but judging from the reaction of the Chinese, we know how scared everyone is.
But the most fascinating thing about this matter is not that the nuclear wastewater can leak for 3 years, and the government does not take care of it, let alone the government, and even the reaction of the British is quite calm.
It's no wonder that when the British, who rely on the sea to eat the sea, heard about the fact that Japan added food to the sea, they didn't have much reaction.
In fact, except for the Guardian, which broke the nuclear leak, other British media did not report much on the incident, and even on overseas forums, everyone's reaction was mediocre.
Only one netizen said that he has worked in the nuclear energy field for 30 years and has worked at a high level, which can confirm that this report is "completely in line with the facts".
"For more than a decade, there has been an intolerable risk in the nuclear waste storage tanks and silos in Sellafield, and the cracks in the B30 walls that they mentioned, which I saw when I was 24 years old, and now I'm 56 years old, and the government has allocated money every year, and I haven't made much progress," he said. ”
So the question is, it has been revealed that there has been a nuclear leak, and Sellafield has not replied, the answer is yes.
As soon as this report came out, Sellafield "fought back", saying that the source of the media was indeed an internal employee, but this person was fired not long after he worked, where is the credibility?
Secondly, on the issue of nuclear leakage, Sellafield is completely open and transparent to the public, and everyone knows about it.
Finally, nuclear waste is a legacy of history that we are actively dealing with, but it will take time to deal with it.
Therefore, whether there is a leak or not, this matter has never been clear.
Until this Tuesday (December 12), the British government officially issued the latest bulletin, explaining the situation of the Sellafield nuclear leak, one of which said-
"The nuclear waste that is leaking now is less radioactive than it was in the 1970s, but it is always a problem that we take seriously. There is no way to stop the leakage of nuclear wastewater other than to remove it first. ”
This can be regarded as a real hammer for the nuclear leakage.
Not only that, but the leak could pose a serious danger to the surrounding countries and ecology, and will continue until around 2050.
Many people are afraid that today this leak, tomorrow will leak a little, a terrible biochemical disaster is getting closer and closer to human beings, not only the Chinese, but even the United States can not sit still.
Looking at the reaction of Europe, it seems that it is not their nuclear wastewater that is leaking, and many people are skeptical, preferring to worry about demonstrations and demonstrations, as if they don't think it is terrible...
