Despite the condemnation of the whole world, Japan seems to have been determined to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea.

Although it is said that the nuclear wastewater has been purified, the harm caused to the whole world by doing so cannot be underestimated.

Japan decided to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea

How terrible is nuclear wastewater? Okawa tells a story that really happened in the United States, and you will know.

"Fever" remains

In the mid-1960s, scientists suddenly made an unexpected decision to dig out the grave of Eben Byers. As soon as the decision was made, it was opposed by everyone. The matter of digging someone else's grave was absolutely unreasonable in morality. But the scientist resolutely decided to dig his grave and gave a reason that everyone dared not to obstruct. If

is not dug, everyone may suffer in the future.

Just like that, Byers' grave was dug up by scientists.

After digging Baiers' grave, the scene in front of him was indeed as scientists expected. His bones had become riddled with holes, and his body was still hot. You should know that he has passed away for 30 years. The reason why

is like this is that is very simple, that is, it is caused by excessive radiation. The radiation source has been left in his body and cannot be excreted, so after his death, the radiation is still affecting his body...

Time back to 898, Madame Curie discovered radium , a strong radioactive substance.

The discovery of radium is definitely an epoch-making existence in the field of chemistry.

And in life, the emergence of radium has also opened up a new era.

Radium element

Due to the limited scientific level at that time, people's understanding of radioactive substance was still at the most primitive level.

Take radium as an example. People only know that the discovery of radium is of great significance, and this substance can still shine. As for the potential harm of its strong radioactivity to the human body, people do not know...

Under such a background, with the driving force of capital, radium has also become a trend that everyone yearns for for a time.

radium light meter, radium SPA, radium functional beverages, etc. have become the most popular things at the moment.

radium functional beverage-Radithor (radium water)

And considering the difficulty and output of radium elements, only those rich people could afford it at that time, and ordinary people might only think about it.

Time has passed since 1927. There was a rich second generation named Eben Byers . by chance learned about radium functional beverage - Radithor (radium water) by a friend.

Eben Byers and his friend

Although there is only one short sentence in the instructions for this drink, radium water will enhance the body's life process.

But according to friends, drinking it can greatly enhance physical fitness, improve immunity, and even play a role in prolonging life.

Now, , a magical radium functional drink, is actually ordinary water with radium elements, you can even understand it as "nuclear wastewater" .

Drinking this thing not only does not have the so-called magical effect, but the more you drink , the faster you die .

Later, the fundamental reason why Byers became riddled with holes after his death and his body was still fever 30 years later was that he had long-term drinking of radium functional beverages. Of course, these are all later...

After believing his friend's "nonsense", Byers bought a bottle of radium function drink to try. Under the guidance of psychological effects, after drinking it, he immediately felt unprecedented refreshment.

has become even more obsessed since then. The first thing you do when you wake up every day is to drink a small bottle of radium function drink. In his opinion, can ensure that you are full of energy all day.

Sometimes, he can even drink three bottles of radium function drinks a day.

However, with the continuous intake of radium, Byers' body began to gradually suffer from problems. At first, it was just weight loss, but later it started to feel headaches, toothaches, and chin pain.

However, after the doctor's examination, no cause was found.

Until later, Byers' teeth began to fall off and his body began to dissolve from the inside out.

931, even his entire chin was broken and fell off , and realized the seriousness of the problem. He was sick, but the doctor could not find out the cause.

Byers whose chin fell off

As of the day of his death in 1932, Byers drank more than 81,400 bottles of radium function drinks . until he died, he did not consider radium function drinks...

terrifying radium element

Byers' death was entirely caused by the intake of radium element.

After Byles' death, scientists also began to pay attention to radium. Through research, it was found that the strong radiation brought by radium will cause great harm to human health. Byles, who died of due to excessive drinking of radium functional beverages, is the most typical case.

Subsequently, the United States began a long-term "radium survey" and gradually began to remove various radium-element products including radium functional beverages.

30 years after Byles' death, scientists decided to dig up his grave in order to warn the world. This is the scene mentioned at the beginning of the article.

After digging the grave, everything that appeared in front of him was indeed as expected by scientists. Under the long-term radiation of radium element, Byers' bones had become riddled with holes, and his body was still hot.

In fact, from a chemical perspective, will not disappear even after 300 years, and the impact of its body on the surrounding environment will continue. Because the radium element has a half-life of for 1,600 years !

Therefore, scientists later specially treated Byers' body to prevent the residual radium elements in his body from continuing to harm the world.

is written at the end

similar to the radium functional drinks drunk by Byers. Japan decided to discharge nuclear wastewater into the sea, which is actually also a "toxic water" containing a large amount of radioactive element .

However, compared with the radium element in radium functional beverages, Japan wants to discharge radioactive elements have a greater degree of dilution.

It is precisely based on this that the Japanese side insisted that the diluted nuclear wastewater will not cause pollution to the environment...

In September 2020, the Japanese Prime Minister inspected the diluted nuclear wastewater of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

, will it really cause pollution to the environment?

The answer is definitely no, Japan is deceiving itself. This is the behavior of not handling the "mess" yourself and rumoring the "mess" to the whole world.

If Japan really starts to discharge nuclear wastewater, the first thing that will be affected will definitely be its own fishing power.

and it is worth mentioning that nowadays, nuclear wastewater has not started to be discharged. is just because of the Fukushima nuclear accident. Japanese seafood in the nuclear pollution in the area has been blocked, and even local Japanese people are unwilling to buy and eat it.

If the nuclear wastewater is really discharged, the consequences of this will probably be the first to bear...
