On the first day of the new year, Japan was hit by a strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7 on the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa PrefectureMagnitude 6, the tremor was felt in many parts of Japan, causing tsunamis and fires, causing loss of life and property. The incident also exposed the safety hazards of Japan's nuclear power plants, with the Shiga nuclear power plant in Ishikawa Prefecture badly damaged, and the amount of oil leaking from related equipment was more than five times that of the original announcement, reaching a staggering 1980,000 liters. What is this concept?What consequences does this mean?
According to Japan's NHK 8**, Japan's Hokuriku Electric Power Company admitted on the 5th that the damage to the Shiga nuclear power plant in Ishikawa Prefecture in the Noto Peninsula ** was more serious than previously announced, and the oil leakage of related equipment was more than 5 times that of the original announcement. Two transformers of the external power supply of Shiga Nuclear Power Plant Units 1 and 2 were damaged, and one transformer of the external power supply of Unit 2 leaked about 3,500 liters of oil, and part of the external power supply system was unusable.
However, Hokuriku Electric Power Company said at a press conference on the 5th that the actual oil leakage was as high as 1980,000 liters, it is not yet known when the external power system will be repaired. What is this concept?It is estimated that Japan is going to come out to bow and apologize again, this is simply the same boiling water reactor as Chernobyl, and the whole island of Japan is often **, and Japan's nuclear power plants are all engaged in this thing, and they may really "play to death" sooner or later.
Why is this a concept?Because the oil that leaks out is not ordinary oil, but oil used for insulation and cooling, it contains radioactive materials, and if it flows into the ocean or soil, it can cause environmental pollution and ecological damage.
Why is this simply the same boiling water reactor as Chernobyl?Because the type of reactor at the Shiga nuclear power plant is a boiling water reactor, like the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, this type of reactor is characterized by the fact that the water inside the reactor is both a coolant and a neutron moderator, that is, the water is directly in contact with the nuclear fuel, is irradiated, and becomes radioactive water. If this water leaks out, it will cause serious nuclear contamination.
Oil leaks from nuclear power plants can cause radioactive materials to enter the ocean or soil, pollute the ecological environment, and endanger marine life and human health. According to reports from Japan**, small amounts of oil films have also been found in drainage ditches and roads around the Shiga Nuclear Power Plant's No. 2 reactor, which may have flowed into the sea with rainfall.
There have also been reports of a small amount of oil leaking out of the sea near the exit of the drainage ditch at the Shiga Nuclear Power Plant. The exact amount and level of radioactivity spilled from this oil is not yet known, but if accumulated over a long period of time, it can cause irreversible damage to marine ecosystems, affect the development of fisheries and tourism, and may even spread to the waters of other countries through ocean currents, causing transnational environmental crises.
An oil leak from a nuclear power plant can cause panic and discontent among the population, affecting social stability and trust. On the one hand, Japan is an energy-poor country that relies on nuclear power to meet its electricity needs, and on the other hand, Japan has experienced the bitter lessons of many nuclear accidents and has deep concerns about the safety and consequences of nuclear power.
The oil spill at the nuclear power plant has once again exposed the fragility and risks of nuclear power in Japan, which has taken a toll on public confidence in nuclear power and reduced trust in the power company. Some anti-nuclear groups and the public have launched a campaign of condemnation on social media, demanding a complete shutdown of nuclear power plants and a switch to renewable energy. These activities could trigger larger social movements and conflicts, affecting Japan's political and economic stability.
The first day of the new year in Japan and the oil spill at the nuclear power plant were a shocking and sad disaster, as well as a warning and challenge to Japan and the world. We hope that Japan will be able to recover and rebuild as soon as possible, and that Japan will learn from the lessons and strengthen the safety management and oversight of nuclear power, reduce its dependence on and risks of nuclear energy, shift to cleaner and sustainable energy sources, and take responsibility for its own future and that of the world. We also hope that Japan can live in peace with its neighbors, jointly maintain regional peace and stability, and jointly respond to global challenges and opportunities.
