Nuclear wastewater cannot be drunk directly. Nuclear wastewater contains radioactive substances, such as tritium, cesium, etc., which are harmful to the human body and may cause health effects if consumed directly.
First of all, the radioactive substances contained in nuclear wastewater can damage the cells and tissues of the human body, leading to various health problems. Secondly, nuclear wastewater may also contain other harmful substances, such as heavy metals and chemicals, which may also cause harm to the human body.
Therefore, nuclear wastewater cannot be directly consumed. If there is a concern about nuclear contamination of the water source, other reliable sources of drinking water should be sought.
At 1 p.m. on August 24, 2023, Japan** ignored the strong doubts and opposition of the international community and unilaterally forcibly started the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear accident into the sea. What Japan has done is to pass on the risks to the whole world, to pass on the pain to future generations of mankind, to become a destroyer of the ecological environment and a global marine polluter, to violate the rights to health, development and environment of the people of all countries, and to violate its own moral responsibilities and obligations under international law. Japan has discharged the nuclear-contaminated water, and at the same time has put itself in the international dock, which will surely be condemned by the international community for a long time.
