Suddenly, Japan s nuclear leak! 22 billion becquerels of radioactive material flowed into the sea

Mondo Science Updated on 2024-02-11

In Japan, a nuclear sewage leak has once again sparked a wave of global attention. A leak at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant reportedly resulted in the release of 5 tons of nuclear sewage containing 22 billion becquerels of radioactive material into the environment. The incident has raised questions about the safety of nuclear energyand concerns about possible future risks to the marine environment and human health.

Japan's Tokyo Electric Power Company explained the leak, saying that the leak was caused by the exhaust port not being closed. This does not quell fearsOn the contrary, TEPCO's shortcomings in nuclear safety management have been highlighted. This is not only a spill, but also a major threat to the global marine ecosystem.

In fact, in addition to this leak, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has also had frequent discharges of nuclear wastewater in the past. 80 tons of new nuclear sewage are added every dayand the decision to plan to discharge about 54,600 tons of nuclear sewage into the ocean by 2024All of them have aroused strong opposition and concern from the international community.

Although the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) investigation reported that Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge facilities met international safety standards, this did not completely dispel doubts about the safety of nuclear energy. Experts warn that radioactive materials could spread across much of the Pacific Ocean, affecting marine ecosystems in countries such as the United States and Canada. And the research team at Tsinghua University is even **,Nuclear sewage could spread to China's coast within seven monthsIt could spread to the world's seas within 10 years.

We cannot stand idly by in the face of this dire situation. As global citizens, we have a responsibility to pay attention to and take action to jointly protect the ecological environment of the earth and the health and safety of people. We should call on Japan** and TEPCO to take stricter measures to ensure the safety of nuclear energy and reduce the environmental impact of nuclear wastewater.
