The formation of nuclear wastewater mainly stems from the wastewater generated during the operation of nuclear facilities, which contains radioactive materials such as uranium and plutonium. These radioactive materials accumulate in the wastewater, eventually forming highly radioactive nuclear wastewater. In addition, there are some other types of wastewater generated during the operation of nuclear facilities, such as cooling water, ground flushing water, etc., which may also be contaminated with radioactive materials and become part of nuclear wastewater.
The ** of nuclear wastewater also includes wastewater generated in the process of nuclear fuel treatment, such as the waste liquid generated in the process of nuclear fuel reprocessing, the wastewater generated in the process of nuclear fuel production, etc. These wastewaters contain high concentrations of radioactive substances, such as uranium, plutonium, etc., as well as some chemicals, such as nitric acid, sulfuric acid, etc.
In addition, leakage from nuclear facilities is also a cause of the formation of nuclear wastewater. Leaks in nuclear facilities can be caused by equipment failures, human errors, etc., which can lead to radioactive materials entering the environment and forming nuclear wastewater.
In short, the formation of nuclear sewage is multifaceted, including wastewater generated during the operation of nuclear facilities, wastewater generated during nuclear fuel treatment, and leakage from nuclear facilities. In order to ensure the safe operation of nuclear facilities and prevent the formation of nuclear wastewater, effective measures need to be taken to control and reduce the discharge of radioactive materials.
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 put itself in the international dock, which will surely be condemned by the international community for a long time. China has always adhered to the supremacy of the people and will take all necessary measures to safeguard food safety and the health of the Chinese people.
