Preface
Heaven is a good reincarnation, and the sky forgives whom.
Japan, which has done everything on earth, has finally reaped the consequences of its own actions and paid the price for their past actions.
Just on April 18, a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck Ehime Prefecture, Japan.
For a time, houses collapsed, all kinds of transportation were forced to stop, and many people were injured.
Prior to this, Japan had just announced that it would discharge a fifth round of nuclear wastewater.
As soon as the front foot was announced, the back foot was hit by an earthquake.
I wonder if it's because of Japan's behavior that the earth is unhappy, so it's a punishment?
Japan Earthquake
On the evening of April 17, 2024, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.6 on the Richter scale struck Ehime Prefecture, Japan.
According to the information released by the Japan Meteorological Agency, the damage caused by this earthquake is not small.
Not only did it cause the water pipes of some residential buildings to burst and the houses collapsed, but also many people were injured and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
In addition to this, the surrounding railways and roads have also been forced to suspend operations.
Thankfully, the earthquake did not trigger a tsunami.
If an earthquake and tsunami hit at the same time, the damage in Ehime Prefecture would be even more severe.
However, the earthquake comes just before the Japanese government announced that it would discharge a fifth round of nuclear sewage on April 19, totaling 78,000 tons.
Prior to this, Japan had already discharged about 31,200 tons of nuclear wastewater.
I don't know if this earthquake was a warning from nature to Japan or something else.
But in any case, it can only show one problem, that is, Japan's nuclear sewage has brought a lot of pollution and harm to nature.
Since August 24, 2023, when Japan began discharging the first round of nuclear wastewater, some organisms in the ocean have suffered a lot.
However, it is worth mentioning that on March 15, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 also occurred near the east coast of Honshu, Japan, with an epicenter depth of 50 kilometers.
The earthquake also occurred before Japan discharged the fourth round of nuclear wastewater.
After the earthquake, the Onagawa nuclear power plant in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, became abnormal.
Seeing this, Japan immediately announced a moratorium on the discharge of nuclear wastewater.
Do you think Japan has suddenly wanted to open up?
Unfortunately, Japan does not.
The day after the earthquake, Japan began to discharge the fourth round of nuclear wastewater.
It's only been a day, and Japan can't wait.
Living on the same planet as Japan sometimes feels really frustrated.
In fact, as early as last year, when Japan announced the discharge of nuclear wastewater.
Two earthquakes struck Japan's northeastern seas, although they were not as damaging as in the past, and did not cause tsunamis.
But the Japanese just didn't learn anything about it, so they had to dump the nuclear sewage into the sea.
If once or twice is an accident, then every time the sewage is discharged, an earthquake occurs, does this mean that nature is also angry at Japan's actions?
The hazards of nuclear wastewater
After discharging nuclear wastewater, Japan spent 70 billion yen to advertise that it would not pollute the ocean and the global environment in order to prevent itself from becoming the target of public criticism.
When people are speechless, they laugh out loud. And Japan's behavior is simply making people want to laugh.
Japan claims that the water is strictly treated and that it is not nuclear sewage but nuclear wastewater.
What we need to understand is that nuclear sewage and nuclear wastewater are two different concepts.
Essentially, there is a big difference. Moreover, the impact on the marine environment is also different.
After the nuclear wastewater is treated, it can be discharged.
However, there are a variety of radioactive elements in nuclear wastewater, and the "lifespan" of some elements is as high as hundreds of thousands of years.
At the same time, it will also have a very big impact on human health, and in severe cases, there will be diseases or genetic mutations.
Not only that, but these harmful radioactive materials may also be diffused and contaminated with land and groundwater.
The harm will bring unprecedented disasters to the earth.
In order to be able to block the mouths of the people, Japan has also made a bloody investment.
The public relations budget of 70 billion yuan is almost 20 times the budget for the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea.
I don't understand what Japan is thinking, and why not spend 70 billion yuan to shut up other people's mouths, so why not put this money on the treatment of nuclear wastewater.
If Japan says it has trouble dealing with it, China and other countries will help them.
After all, the discharge of so much nuclear sewage into the ocean will not only pollute the earth's environment, but also greatly affect our daily life.
Perhaps, the fish in the sea will mutate and grow into a monster with several legs.
It's no wonder that Japan made movies like "Godzilla" because it was originally intended to make people get used to it.
This is not the first time Japan has done such a thing, as early as 1956, tens of thousands of people suffered from Minamata disease due to the discharge of industrial nuclear wastewater.
At that time, a nitrogen fertilizer plant in Japan discharged untreated wastewater directly into the seawater, resulting in a very serious pollution of fish and shrimp in the seawater.
After eating these fish and shrimp, the surrounding residents also became infected and began to show a series of symptoms.
But in the face of this, Japan's first reaction was not to deal with it, but to hide the matter.
The same thing happened in 2011, when the Fukushima nuclear power plant leaked due to an earthquake in Japan.
After learning of this incident, Japan did not think about disposing of these radioactive materials, which are seriously harmful to the human body, as soon as possible, but thought about how to discharge the nuclear sewage into the sea.
More than a decade has passed since the earthquake, and Japan has not treated the wastewater more safely.
There are many ways to deal with nuclear wastewater, but Japan has chosen the easiest and most trouble-free method.
Other countries around the world have also raised objections to Japan's discharge of nuclear wastewater.
But Japan is bent on going its own way, and even if other countries say they can help them deal with the nuclear wastewater, Japan pretends not to see it.
epilogue
Today, Japan has discharged five rounds of nuclear wastewater, and the marine environment has also suffered a lot because of them.
In this regard, Japan has repeatedly stated that it will not have an impact on the global environment.
The ocean is about to turn into a mandarin duck pot, and Japan is still hard-mouthed here.
Ever since Japan announced the release of nuclear wastewater, earthquakes have occurred frequently, and the epicenter of each earthquake is not very strong.
Since the beginning of this year, there have been 155 earthquakes in Japan, and I don't know if it's a coincidence or if nature is mourning.
It can only be said that Japan will eventually pay a terrible price for their actions.
