Sewage discharge in Japan

in STEEM CN/中文7 months ago

Japan's sewage event gradually heat smaller, in this just want to remind, do not forget this event, do not forget what Japan did to the Earth!!!
Affected by the massive earthquake and tsunami that occurred in 2011, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant units 1 to 3 suffered core meltdowns. After the accident, Tokyo Electric Power Company continued to Unit 1-3 containment water to cool the reactor core and recycling of sewage, as of March 2021, has been stored 1.25 million tons of nuclear sewage, and 140 tons a day. [1][11]
On April 9, 2021, the Japanese government basically decided to discharge the radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea. [9] On April 13, the Japanese government held a cabinet meeting and formally decided to filter and dilute millions of tons of nuclear water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea, and discharge will begin after 2023. [1] Some Japanese scholars have pointed out that the sea around Fukushima is not only a fishing ground for local fishermen, but also part of the Pacific Ocean and even the global ocean. The discharge of nuclear waste water into the sea will affect global fish migration, distant water fishing, human health, ecological security and other aspects. Therefore, this issue is not only a domestic issue of Japan, but also an international issue involving global marine ecology and environmental security. [20]
On July 4, 2023, the International Atomic Energy Agency released a message on its official website that the agency believes that Japan's nuclear contaminated water discharge plan meets international safety standards. [161] July 7, the Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission to the Tokyo Electric Power Company issued the first nuclear power plant in Fukushima nuclear discharge facilities contaminated water "acceptance certificate." [170] On August 9, the Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Vienna released on its website the Working Paper on the Disposal of Nuclear Contaminated Water from the Accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan (submitted to the First Preparatory Meeting for the Eleventh Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons). [194]
As of December 21, 2023, Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant storage of nuclear sewage has accounted for 97% of the total storage capacity, reaching 1.3257 million cubic meters, of which 32% has been treated through the ALS nuclear sewage, nuclear sewage treatment accounted for 68%. According to TEPCO's plan, the entire emission process will last 30 years.
