The Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan** continues to ferment, and many places are seriously affected, and the overflow of fuel pond water from nuclear power plants has aroused concern.
On January 1, 2024, the Noto area of Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan suffered a series of strong** continuous impacts, of which the strongest magnitude reached 7Level 6, named "Noto Peninsula**" As of 5 o'clock local time on January 2, it was officially confirmed that ** had caused at least six deaths. ** The resulting disasters have a wide range of impacts, including collapsed houses, damaged roads, tsunami warnings, spilled cooling water from nuclear power plants, and large-scale fires, which have had a severe impact on the lives of local residents and infrastructure.
According to NHK, the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), the ** incident not only caused a violent shaking of the ground, but also caused a number of secondary disasters. The Kashiwazaki Kariba Nuclear Power Plant and the Shiga Nuclear Power Plant both had a cooling water spill in the fuel pool, and although TEPCO said it had not found any cooling water leaking outside the plant, the news still attracted widespread attention. The fire in Wajima City continued to burn for more than 14 hours after **, and hundreds of buildings were burned down, causing a heavy disaster.
In addition, ** caused severe damage to transportation facilities, with some shinkansen lines suspended, highways closed, and flights at multiple airports forced to cancel. The runway of Noto Airport has been closed due to severe damage, with many cracks with a depth of more than 10 centimeters and a length of more than 10 meters.
Under the emergency response of Japan** and relevant departments, there are no reports of Chinese citizens in this **China** for the time being. The Chinese Embassy in Japan responded quickly, reminding compatriots in Japan to pay close attention to the meteorological warning information, take emergency evacuation measures, and provide emergency help***
In the face of this sudden natural disaster, we have seen the orderliness and resilience of Japanese society in earthquake relief, and at the same time, it also warns us that we must pay attention to the importance of prevention and response. Especially in terms of nuclear power safety, how to further improve the ability of nuclear power plants to resist risks and ensure the safe and stable operation of nuclear facilities under extreme circumstances is a serious issue faced by the global nuclear energy industry.
The Noto Peninsula** once again demonstrated the power and unpredictability of the forces of nature, and highlighted the strength of humanity to work together and overcome difficulties in the face of disasters. In the context of global climate change and active geological activities, strengthening the construction of monitoring and early warning systems, improving urban disaster prevention and resilience, and ensuring the safety of people's lives and property are undoubtedly major issues that need to be solved urgently by all countries and all sectors of society.
