[Preface]
On August 24 last year, the Japanese government officially discharged the nuclear sewage from Japan's Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the ocean, and it is still discharging nuclear sewage in a steady stream, which is an act of polluting the ocean!
It is extremely irresponsible to put the safety of marine life and human life in danger, and four batches of nuclear sewage have been discharged since the first batch of nuclear sewage began to be discharged in August last year.
The discharge has reached about 30,000 tons, but recently on April 19, the fifth batch of nuclear sewage began to be discharged, and it is expected to discharge 7,800 tons, and if this development continues, the annual discharge will reach about 55,000 tons.
Even though most countries and people around the world are opposing the Japanese government's actions, and even in the face of protests and opposition from the people in their own countries, the Japanese government still insists on going its own way, but he underestimates the risk of discharging nuclear wastewater.
It has attracted the attention of many countries in the world, and with the development of time, the risk of nuclear sewage discharge and the chain reaction have gradually become apparent.
What kind of chain reactions, what kind of risks threaten the Japanese government, and what role does it play in Japan's development?
Discharge of nuclear wastewater
The cause of the discharge of nuclear sewage can be traced back to 2011, when a devastating earthquake struck Japan, and it was because of this earthquake that the equipment of Japan's Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was destroyed.
The water used for the operation of nuclear power plants, as well as other water used in other sources, is mixed together to produce a large amount of nuclear wastewater, which has been increasing, and even if many nuclear sewage storage tanks are built, it will not help.
The Japanese government began to think of "crooked ideas" for the construction of large storage tanks for nuclear wastewater and the use of other chemical methods to treat nuclear wastewater.
The Japanese government resolutely chose to discharge the nuclear sewage into the sea, and this discharge will take 30 to 40 years.
Despite international opposition and its own international public, the Japanese government has continued to go its own way, even though the nuclear power plant's declaration to the outside world indicates that the discharge of nuclear wastewater has met international safety standards.
But many countries are not buying it, as Liu Dan, an associate researcher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University on the mainland, said that in 2012, nuclear power plants had tested 64 nuclear elements in excessive concentrations.
We all know the seriousness of nuclear pollution, not only has irreversible harm to the human body, but also some nuclear elements are very difficult to decompose, and some of the decomposition cycle can reach hundreds of years.
In doing so, Japan is clearly disregarding the safety of marine life and the safety of all human lives, after all, more than 70 percent of our planet is ocean, and all major oceans are interconnected.
Despite the opposition and protests of the masses, the Japanese government still discharged the nuclear sewage into the ocean on August 24, 2023.
Marine life and fishermen are the first to be threatened by the discharge of nuclear wastewater, and the ocean is the only home for marine fish.
The discharge of nuclear sewage threatens marine life first, which may cause the death of marine life, and in serious cases, it may cause mutation, and the diversity of marine life will be irreparably damaged.
Even if some tenacious marine creatures are alive, they can't flow into the human table, after all, the harm of nuclear radiation to the human body is huge, and long-term exposure to nuclear radiation will increase the chance of cancer and other diseases.
Those fishermen who make a living from fishing are unemployed, living in uninhabitable conditions, their incomes are reduced, and their lives are difficult to sustain, making many people who have suffered from it feel that the idea of rebuilding their homes is out of reach!
As we all know, Japan has long been affected by nuclear contamination, and during World War II, Japan was deeply affected by nuclear weapons and felt the harm of nuclear radiation.
I thought it would do the right thing in this regard, but who knew that it used the most stupid method of discharging pollutants into the ocean.
Despite strong opposition at home and abroad, the Japanese government is still ignoring the dangers of nuclear wastewater, unaware of the risks and the chain reaction that is slowly approaching.
The chain reaction of discharging nuclear wastewater
Japan's economic development has always been relatively developed, especially in the 60s of the 20 th century, when Japan became the world's second largest economy after the United States through various policies.
However, with the development of time, Japan has gradually been compared, but it is also a developed country, the fourth largest economy in the world, and there are many aspects of environmental protection that Japan is worth learning.
Once hailed as a typical country for environmental protection, today's behavior is incredible, despite domestic and foreign opposition, resolutely discharging nuclear wastewater.
This has also exposed the loopholes in the Japanese government's governance decision-making, which has exacerbated the seriousness of the problem due to the wrong governance methods, the anger of the people, and the refusal of many countries in the international community to cooperate, all of which are all chain reactions.
The unreasonable solution is the victim of the people of their own country, which not only affects the livelihood of coastal fishermen, but also affects the development of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, and hinders the economic development of the country.
It also affects the ecological balance, and also has irreversible damage to organisms and the human body, and long-term nuclear radiation contamination areas will increase the risk of cancer, and the follow-up treatment of the public will be a large expense.
And there will be a certain amount of pollution for various industries in the country, such as the impact of the seafood import and export industry, after Japan discharged nuclear sewage into the ocean, the mainland immediately issued a decision to suspend the import of aquatic products in Japan.
The mainland has protected the health of its own citizens and fulfilled its accusation of protecting the people in this way, not only prohibiting it completely, but also continuing to strengthen its regulatory policy.
The mainland has a large population, which can be said to be a huge market, and the mainland is also Japan's largest exporter, and the release of this decision by the mainland will cause huge losses to Japan's export industry.
Not only the import and export industry, but also the tourism industry has a great impact, and most people who choose to spend money to absorb nuclear radiation will be a big blow even if the ministry does not hit Japan's economy hard.
The second is the anger of the people, all kinds of wrong decisions, will be extremely angry with the people, make the domestic situation turbulent, countries that do not put the safety of the people first will not see the support of the people, and the governance of their own countries may also be hindered in the future.
In particular, when it comes to the living environment, many people will avoid living in areas where the nuclear sewage is discharged, which will lead to unbalanced development within the country and affect social stability.
Originally, Japan was dealing with its own internal problems with the international nuclear sewage problem, but it is an international problem that it discharges nuclear sewage into the ocean, on which people depend for their survival.
In the face of the opposition of many countries in the international community, Japan's obstinate behavior will lead to a threat to its international status, and many countries have denounced Japan and refused to cooperate with Japan.
However, despite this, Japan has not changed its mind, and on April 19 this year, it has started a new round of actions to discharge nuclear wastewater, and the most important thing for Japan to do now is to wake up in time and find the correct way to solve the problem of nuclear wastewater.
Marine biodiversity
In the case of Japan's nuclear wastewater, it is the life in the ocean that will be most affected, and the most timely marine biodiversity will be destroyed.
The ocean is one of the most important sources of food for human beings, and biodiversity not only refers to the food and industrial raw materials that human beings rely on, but also has the function of protecting the environment.
Biodiversity protects the balance of the entire ecosystem, and now biodiversity is being destroyed step by step over time and human activities.
The role of the ocean in our production and life is very important, not only to provide us with nutritious seafood, but also to the development of the ecological environment plays a pivotal role.
First of all, the ocean can absorb a large amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced by human beings in production and life, and has a regulatory effect on the global climate.
However, with the disturbance and destruction of human beings, the ocean has been damaged in many ways, such as biological invasion, overuse of marine resources, etc., and we should improve or immediately prohibit all kinds of behaviors that threaten the ocean.
It is also hoped that Japan will see clearly the pollution caused by the discharge of nuclear sewage and make the right decision to deal with nuclear sewage and protect the ocean as soon as possible.
summary
The amount of nuclear sewage discharged in Japan is already very large, and it also tells us that there are advantages and disadvantages of nuclear energy, and warns all countries in the world to strengthen the management of the nuclear energy industry.
In order to avoid the occurrence of this type of accident and protect our living home, international organizations should also make some means to solve Japan's laissez-faire behavior of allowing nuclear sewage to be discharged at will.
According to Japan's discharge schedule, the fifth round of nuclear sewage discharge will end on May 7 this year, and I hope this is the last discharge!
In the protection of the ocean, every country is duty-bound!
