Japan is late! Nature's silent response to nuclear-contaminated water

author:Xiaomei said popular science

Since the occurrence of the nuclear accident in Japan, the dust has not yet settled, and many countries and marine ecology do not have the right to participate, and the international community is not worried about such unfounded fears, nor is it groundless.

The reason for this is the fear of radioactivity, which is not only the safety of the Japanese people, but also all countries in the world.

1. The Fukushima nuclear accident has become the hardest hit area in the ocean in recent years

The Fukushima nuclear accident that occurred in 2011 has been called the world's most serious nuclear accident with radiation leakage, and this accident has also attracted widespread attention around the world, and Japan's former Prime Minister Ozawa Ichiro has made some reflections and reports on this matter. As soon as the Fukushima nuclear accident occurred, people around the world immediately paid attention to nuclear safety, and every government also investigated its own nuclear station.

The Fukushima nuclear power station leak is not only on land, but also in the sea, because the spill of radioactive materials is not only the local fishery income, but also the marine ecological environment, and the seafood has been affected, and the radioactive materials will continue to spread outward with the tides, and the surrounding countries and regions will also be affected.

Among them, the most serious radiation is those species that have high requirements for water quality, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, once these aquatic products are contaminated by radioactive materials, they will slowly affect human beings from the bottom of the food chain, and this impact directly refers to the safety and healthy development of human life.

After the confirmed leakage of radioactive materials from the Fukushima nuclear station, it has caused international controversy and protests that have not dissipated, and there are many countries that have taken the matter seriously, including local spontaneous protest marches, and citizens of many countries have expressed great indignation at Japan's irresponsible behavior, and have demanded that Japan retract this decision and find a safe and feasible disposal plan.

This issue has undoubtedly made the international community see through the sloppiness of the Japanese Government's response to this matter, and it has also made people realize that if they pursue their own interests without regard for the feelings and rights of others, the consequences will be unexpected.

2. What else can the government do other than discharge nuclear wastewater?

When the Japanese government decided to discharge the nuclear sewage into the seawater with the most concise solution, all of a sudden, hearsay was flying everywhere, and everyone was suspicious and afraid of each other, and there were some blind resistances.

For a country, the benefits far outweigh the risks, but for the world, the risks may far outweigh the benefits, so in the face of such a dilemma between the needs of the people and the country, we should take effective measures in a timely manner to resist and reduce the damage caused by nuclear sewage to the earth's environment.

The Japanese government should realize that the discharge of nuclear sewage is only a short-term measure, the cost is low, but the consequences are a threat to the marine ecology and the safety of all human life, the Japanese government can no longer adhere to the short-term interests of the eye, and needs to take greater responsibility for the ocean, the earth, and all mankind, not only to assume the due responsibility for environmental protection, but also to provide more solutions and support for global environmental problems.

What else can the Japanese government do other than discharge nuclear wastewater? After all, the Japanese government's own strength and technical level are limited, and the strength of the international community cannot be ignored.

3. Past and present lives are in the moment, and experience and lessons are drawn from this event

We have realized that environmental protection is not only a country, a region, but also a global challenge, is the common interest of all living beings on the earth, only close cooperation between countries, in order to create a better future for the earth, so in this process, the international community must strengthen cooperation, increase the investment in environmental protection technology research and development, and go further and further on the road of scientific and technological progress.

The road to environmental protection is full of ups and downs and difficulties, but we cannot retreat, day and night in the sea, hope to usher in the final dawn.
