Recently, Japan's Hokuriku Electric Power Company admitted that the damage to the Shiga nuclear power plant was worse than the announcement, and this incident has caused widespread concern and concern.
According to the latest disclosures, the amount of oil leaked from the damaged equipment at the Shiga nuclear power plant was more than five times the original figure, and it was announced that another transformer at Unit 2 had leaked about 100 liters of oil.
In addition, ground subsidence was also observed in the vicinity of Unit 1.
In a statement, Hokuriku Electric Power said that despite the above problems, the Shiga nuclear power plant remains in safe operation.
"Security is not affected," they emphasized.
However, this series of events has sparked controversy over whether the plant is truly safe and reliable, and whether the relevant government regulators are doing their job.
In particular, in the aftermath of the Noto Earthquake, people began to reconsider whether it was appropriate to reactivate the Noto Peninsula as a clear choice.
First, Hokuriku Electric Power Company's deliberate concealment of the actual situation and underestimating the amount of oil spills in the accident have raised doubts about the trade-off between evading responsibility and maximizing profits.
This lack of transparency and dishonesty inevitably raises concerns about the safety of nuclear power plant operations.
Second, the amount of oil leaking from damaged equipment at the Shiga nuclear power plant was more than five times the previously announced figure, and the oil leakage from the transformer at Unit 2 raised questions about whether Hokuriku Electric Power had the technical capabilities and management skills to ensure the safe operation of the nuclear reactor.
This also makes us rethink whether the Japanese government has fully considered various risks when approving relevant projects and made reasonable controls.
In addition, the resumption of the operation of a major nuclear power plant in Japan, where earthquakes are frequent, will inevitably become a social issue.
In particular, the Noto Peninsula earthquake has highlighted the need and dilemma of choosing the best way to supply safe, stable, and sustainable energy in the event of a disaster.
In such a high-risk environment, it is undoubtedly necessary to carefully balance the interests of all parties against the long-term benefits.
In light of this, it is obvious to all that the problems revealed by the Shiga nuclear power plant accident have aroused widespread concern and concern.
Government regulators should seriously investigate the incident and hold them accountable.
At the same time, public concerns and doubts about the safety of nuclear power plants also need to be fully addressed.
On the premise of ensuring public safety, governments and energy companies need to communicate more openly and transparently with society, and take effective measures to prevent similar accidents from happening again.
Only in this way can we truly establish a sustainable, safe and stable energy supply system to protect people's rights and interests and future development needs.
As a result, the problems revealed by the Shiga nuclear power plant accident have become an issue that cannot be ignored in Japanese society today.
By learning lessons and improving existing mechanisms, it is essential to balance economic interests with environmental ecology in the future.
It is hoped that the Japanese Government and relevant parties will take it seriously and actively resolve this thorny and important issue.
