The Government of Japan has decided to release Fukushima’s radioactive waters into the sea. Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihida Suga said on Tuesday that it had approved Fukushima’s plan to release one million tons of radioactive water into the sea.
The Government of Japan has decided to release Fukushima’s radioactive waters into the sea. Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said on Tuesday that it had approved Fukushima’s plan to release more than a million tons of radioactive water into the sea. Since this announcement, neighboring countries and fishermen have protested the release of deodorant water into the sea.
Please tell that in March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was destroyed due to earthquake and tsunami. Since then, Japan’s electricity company Tokyo Electric Power Company has accumulated more than a million tons of radioactive water, which has now been approved by the Government of Japan to drain into the sea. However, the release of radioactive water into the sea does not appear to occur before two years. But local fishermen and South Korea to the Philippines and China have protested the decision, raising concerns.
Japan will release water into the sea after eliminating radioactive elements
Protesting the release of radioactive water into the sea, the Japanese government has argued that the water is being modified to remove almost all radioactive elements, after which it will be released into the sea. It also said that the International Atomic Energy Agency has supported it.
Radioactive water is in discussion for a decade
Explain that more than one million tonnes of radioactive water deposited in Fukushima has been at the center of discussion for the last decade. South Korea has banned seafood coming from the Fukushima region. Last year, South Korea also asked Japan for clarification on what it wanted to do with radioactive water.
May take up to two years
According to local media reports, the Japanese government advisors proposed to release the water into the sea, which the government has accepted. It was also formally announced by the Japanese government on Tuesday. At present, all this water is kept in the tank of the plant, but 170 tons of water is being stored in it every day. At this pace, there will be no more water storage space until 2022. Currently, more than a thousand tanks in Fukushima are filled with radioactive water. Constructions will be needed to put the water into the sea and the permission of the nuclear agency is also needed. This may take up to two years.
How deadly are radioactive elements
Radioactive water will be treated before being released into the sea to reduce its fatal effects, but it will still be dangerous enough to make sea water poisonous. The radioactive waste is produced during nuclear power generation in nuclear power stations. It contains hazardous elements like plutonium and uranium. Let me tell you that these are the elements, within a few days of coming into contact, a healthy and healthy person dies because they react directly with the blood. Apart from this, they give fatal diseases like skin, bone or blood cancer even when acting slow.
