Preface
Dare to act is a traditional excellent character, it is not terrible to do wrong things, what is terrible is not even the courage to bear, but there is such a country, because of its own country's mistakes caused a nuclear leak, but the final solution is to make the whole world pay, he is Japan.
Drink the nuclear sewage in public
In August 2023, Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company resolutely discharging nuclear sewage into the sea, despite the opposition of the whole world, seriously endangered the ecological environment of the sea.
However, Japan has brazenly declared to the world that the treated nuclear sewage can fully meet the standard of human drinking, and everyone can drink it with confidence and boldness.
Obviously, such arguments could not convince the outside world to question them, so Japan found a "scapegoat" Yasuhiro Harada, who came to the door at a press conference in October 2011 and drank a glass of purified nuclear wastewater in front of reporters and cameras.
However, from the expression of Yasuhiro Harada raising his glass, it is not difficult to find his nervousness, even the water cup loaded with nuclear wastewater in his hand can't help but sway with the trembling in his hand.
After all, it was a live broadcast to the outside world, although Yasuhiro Harada couldn't hide the apprehension in his heart, he still resolutely drank the purified nuclear sewage in the water cup, and the one who put down the water cup was more like a warrior who was about to die.
However, when asked about the root cause of the leak, the Japanese side explained that the staff forgot to close the manual valve, and also defended themselves, claiming that because it was manual work, it was obviously unrealistic to avoid accidents altogether.
From this statement, it is enough to see clearly Japan's attitude towards the nuclear leakage, which is shameless, and it is clear that it has done something wrong, but it still feels that it is a reasonable thing.
As Yasuhiro Harada drank all the nuclear wastewater, everyone was undoubtedly very worried about his health, after all, this means that the purified nuclear sewage is not harmful as the Japanese state says, and it has fully met the standards of human drinking.
However, it is obviously unrealistic to see the reflection in a short period of time, and Harada Yasuhiro also relied on this heroic deed to "become famous", and his career also ushered in the gradual success, but this situation did not last long, only four years later, he resigned from all his work and retired, and finally slowly disappeared from people's vision.

The harm of nuclear sewage to the world
When Japan introduced nuclear sewage into the sea for the first time, regardless of the opposition of other countries in the world, the most important concern for the people of the world was what harm it would cause to the ocean, whether the seafood we eat has been contaminated by nuclear wastewater, and what harm will it do to our human body if we eat it?
Such fears are unavoidable, and experts have assessed that Japan's discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea would pose a huge risk to the marine environment and human health.
In fact, since the Fukushima nuclear sewage leak in 2013, it has been detected many times that fish salvaged in the Pacific Ocean contain radioactive materials, and these nuclides are extremely radioactive and toxic, and will also cause radiation hazards for a long time, seriously affecting the living environment of marine life.
Not only does it have an impact on marine life, but it is also difficult for us humans to escape, after all, there are many human food chains living in the marine life, and if we humans eat these polluted marine creatures, the harmful substances contained in their bodies will also enter our bodies.
Such harm is first embodied in human DNA, which will have a serious impact, and secondly, it is easy to cause different degrees of damage to human offspring, and may cause deformities or physical disabilities.
As countries around the world pay attention to Japan's nuclear sewage discharge into the sea, they can't help but start analyzing the matter, and the German Institute of Marine Science directly pointed out that from the day of the sewage discharge, it only takes 57 hours for the sewage to spread to most of the Pacific Ocean, and three years later, even the United States in the other hemisphere will be affected.

How big is the impact on the mainland?
The mainland is one of the most harmful countries after Japan's Fukushima nuclear sewage was discharged into the sea, and many people have panicked about this incident, after all, the geographical location of Japan and the mainland is only across the sea, and if he puts nuclear sewage into the sea, it is inevitable that this nuclear sewage will flow into our country with the flow of the sea.
However, through previous monitoring of the Fukushima nuclear accident, most of the pollutants in the ocean will be transmitted to the east, and only a small amount will be circulated to the west, and the location of the mainland is just west of Japan, and it is generally estimated that it will take at least one and a half to two years to flow into the seas of the mainland.
In addition, experts also pointed out that Japan's nuclear sewage has been baptized in the ocean, and when it comes to the waters in contact with the mainland, the harmful components in it will be much reduced.
After Japan began to discharge nuclear sewage into the ocean, the mainland immediately took measures to attach great importance to Japan's imports of marine food from China, and strictly controlled the danger from entering the mainland, which would affect the safety of the people on the mainland.
It is worth mentioning that there are many ways to deal with nuclear wastewater, such as underground burial and evaporative release, but Japan finally chose to discharge it into the sea.
The reason why Japan chose to discharge into the sea is also extremely simple, that is, to save money, after all, it only needs to introduce sewage into the sea, which can greatly save labor costs and economic costs.
However, it is true that Japan itself is saving trouble, but it is extremely irresponsible to involve all countries in the world.

epilogue
To this day, Japan still has not found its own problems in it, and still insists on discharging nuclear sewage into the sea, as an island country, they are surrounded by the sea, and they believe that one day, they will be punished for their actions today.
