Recently, Tokyo Electric Power Company of Japan disclosed the site of the undersea tunnel excavation operation for the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant nuclear sewage discharged into the sea.
The total length of the tunnel is about 1 kilometer and has been excavated about 80 meters. The excavation uses a large equipment called shield machine . Every 1 meter of excavation is applied to the reinforced concrete wall. This operation needs to be repeated about a thousand times.
As for the time to discharge nuclear wastewater, Japan plans to start emissions around spring next year. The person in charge of
TongDelivery said: "The operation is very smooth. In order to gain an understanding of the sea evacuation, we will also give a detailed explanation on the progress of the project and the safety of the equipment."
Last year, the Japanese government held a relevant cabinet meeting and officially decided to make good fortune. The nuclear wastewater from the Island First Nuclear Power Plant is discharged into the sea. But the Japanese government's indifferent decision aroused anger from the people around the world.
Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed serious concerns and the Chinese people condemned Japan; the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Japanese ambassador to South Korea to express solemn protest.
However, the US attitude is worthy of fun. US Secretary of State Blinken publicly issued a document "thanks" Japan for its "transparent efforts" to deal with nuclear wastewater.
In fact, it has been many years since Fukushima nuclear accident , and the Japanese government seems to have done nothing except "injecting water".
Chernobyl incident More than 30 years have passed, and 2,600 square kilometers of land are still in isolation areas, while the Fukushima nuclear accident has only been 10 years. The Japanese government has already In organizing population migration, the agricultural products of Fukushima were also actively exported by the Japanese government.
As the direct person in charge, Tokyo Electric Power Company has seemed to have forgotten the global nuclear crisis triggered by themselves, except for a few people bowing and apologizing without pain.
Once such a large amount of nuclear sewage in Japan is discharged into the sea, it will not only pollute the waters near Fukushima, but also affect the waters of neighboring countries.
Some experts have analyzed that from the date of nuclear wastewater discharge, radioactive substance will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within 57 days. In three years, the United States and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution . In 10 years, the entire Pacific Ocean will Will be completely contaminated.
The most troublesome thing is tritium. Tritium, as the isotope of hydrogen atom , itself participates in the composition of water molecules with hydrogen atoms, so it cannot be removed at all.
For a long time, these radioactive tritium will enter the human body with seafood and participate in metabolism, enter cells and even cause DNA to undergo cancerous mutation.
What is even more shameless about Japan is that they deliberately designed a cute cartoon image for Tritium, trying to reduce the popularity of public opinion. But in fact, this arouses people's disgust.

Senior nuclear power expert at the Office of Greenpeace Japan, the international environmental organization, has long said that in fact, to deal with nuclear sewage, it is not the only option to pollute the marine environment. .
. Japan does have enough storage space to build more storage facilities, but Japan ultimately chose to harm others and themselves.
Because of the announcement of the discharge of nuclear wastewater, Japan is now under the verdict of thousands of people. It understands small etiquette and loses the righteousness, and is proficient in small profits and is ignorant of the general trend. Japan is so obsessed with it and will definitely pay the price for its irresponsible behavior, leaving behind historical stains.
