What is the harm of Japan's million -ton nuclear pollution water into the sea?

On July 22, the Japanese Atomic Energy Regulatory Committee formally approved the nuclear pollution water drainage plan for Tokyo Power Company Fukushima First Nuclear Power Station. In April last year, the Japanese government decided that about 1.3 million tons of nuclear pollution water at the Fukushima first nuclear power plant was filtered and diluted into the sea. The ocean is the cradle of the life of the earth. What harm will the millions of tons of nuclear sewage in the sea bring to the ocean and even humans?

These nuclear polluting water is the cooling water that is constantly injected into the reactor after the melting of the reactor. In addition, rainwater and groundwater are constantly inflow. In order to appease the international community, the Japanese side strongly promoted the so -called safety of emissions, the Japanese government and Tokyo Electric Power Corporation said that the use of filtering equipment called "multi -nuclein removal equipment" can filter 62 radioactive substances, while "氚" is the case, while "氚" is the case. It is difficult to remove from the water.

Public information shows that if human beings continue to expose under the radiation, cell death and DNA damage may be caused. Moreover, the actual effect of the "multi -core removal equipment" is not as ideal as declared. As of March 2020, about 70%of the nuclear pollution water treated by this equipment exceeded the emission standard.

The national standard of wastewater discharge of wastewater in Japan is 60,000 Beclerine per liter of water. Although East Power Corporation stated that the concentration of the waste water in the wastewater will be diluted to less than one in 40 of this standard, but not Both young scientists and environmental protection organizations have said that there were no precedents before, and the huge volume of nuclear wastewater and the limitations of existing technology determined that the current wastewater that could not be predicted to discharge would cause potential damage to the marine environment and human security.

Takahashi Chihoko, a member of the Japanese House of Representatives: Even if it is diluted to 500 times and the emissions reaches 500 times, is the total amount is not the same?

The United Nations Special Reporter Marcos Oreliana: Japan said that nuclear pollution water will be treated, and radiation will be controlled within the acceptable international standards. "Liquid treatment system" has technical restrictions, so it is impossible to guarantee that everything can be successful.

Once nuclear pollution water is discharged into the sea, it will not only pollute the waters near Fukushima, but also affect the waters of neighboring countries, and even adversely affect the global marine ecological environment. German Marine Science Research Institutions pointed out that the coast of Fukushima has the strongest ocean flow in the world. Within 57 days from the date of discharge, radioactive substances will spread to most of the Pacific region. After 3 years, the United States and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. After 10 years, it spread to the global waters, affecting all aspects of global fish migration, ocean fisheries, human health, ecological security and other aspects, and the potential threat to human society and marine ecological environment health is difficult to estimate.

Professor Oshima Koichi, a professor at the University of Longgu University in Japan: Everyone does not want to buy seafood such as fish in nearby waters. It is not surprising that I think this situation is not surprising. Nuclear sewage discharge into the sea (triggered) concerns about neighboring countries is also reasonable, because this is a matter of interest. It should be listened to the opinions of countries such as China and South Korea, and sewage into the sea is not determined by Japan alone.
