The world has no way to prevent Japan from discharging nuclear wastewater.
Because Japan's filtration and purification system and the agreed discharge amount have been endorsed by the International Atomic Energy Agency, they are compliant discharges within the scope of the quota, unless Japan violates its commitment to discharge excessively. If we want to prevent it, we will see whether Japan has complied with its agreed emissions and whether it has reached the agreed filtration level after the completion of the first year of emissions. No country with nuclear power is in a position to stop it, at least for the first year.
Now Japan has basically stopped all nuclear power plants, which means that the original cooling water quota discharged by nuclear power plants has not been used for 11 years, and Japan’s commitment to the International Atomic Energy Agency for the annual discharge of radioactive substances is probably in nuclear power plants. Average number of open periods.
Introduction to nuclear wastewater
Nuclear wastewater generally refers to the wastewater discharged from nuclear power plants. According to data from Tokyo Electric Power Company, nuclear-contaminated water contains 63 types of radioactive substances. On April 13, 2021, Japan officially decided to discharge into the ocean the nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant that is harmful to the marine environment.
In terms of the scope of harm, considering the connectivity of the ocean, nuclear wastewater entering the sea will inevitably lead to the continuous spread of the pollution range under the action of ocean currents, which cannot be controlled. It can be said that it is very irresponsible to pollute the entire ocean by solving the problems of one country.
On April 13, 2021, the Japanese government officially decided to discharge millions of tons of nuclear-contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the sea. Many countries expressed doubts and opposition to this. It is extremely irresponsible for Japan to go its own way without full consultation with neighboring countries and the international community on this major issue that concerns the vital interests of its own people, the people of neighboring countries, and international public health and safety.
