On March 3, Japan's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant began its first operation of the equipment for discharging contaminated water into the sea. At present, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has 20.3 million tons of contaminated water reserves, which is close to the limit, and if it is released into the ocean, it may last for up to 17 years. 132 years after being discharged into the sea, more than 30 radionuclides will spread to the world's seas, or damage DNA, induce leukemia, blood cancer and other diseases.
The picture shows the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.
The IAEA's final review of Japan's plan to discharge contaminated water into the sea has not yet been released, and the Japanese government's top brass has falsely claimed that the agency has recognized the safety of the plan. While ignoring opposition to the forced process of sea exclusion and promising to fully explain the understanding of the people, the Japanese government has remained secretive and has not been transparent on many issues.
Is ALPS equipment, which claims to be able to remove a variety of radioactive substances other than tritium in nuclear-contaminated water, effective and stable in the long term? In addition to the 137 radioactive materials such as cesium-30 and plutonium that were tested, can other radioactive materials produced by the Fukushima nuclear accident be diluted by seawater and discharged into the sea?
Although the Japanese government has repeatedly argued that the treated nuclear wastewater is "fine if you drink it", TEPCO, which is in charge of specific operations, has been frequently exposed to scandals such as tampering with monitoring data, fabricating false reports, and concealing reactor failures, and the trust quota has long been overdrawn.

The obsessed Japanese government has always regarded the disposal of radioactive contaminated water as a "private matter", turning a deaf ear to protests and criticisms from many parties at home and abroad, in an attempt to transfer the risk to the world. In order to save money, worry, and trouble, the practice of treating human health, ecological environment, and global security as a mustard has exposed the ugly attitude of the Japanese government.
The discharge of contaminated water into the sea is not a "domestic matter" that can be decided by Japan, but a "big business" involving many countries around the world and of world significance. If Japan continues to insist on going its own way, arbitrarily and arbitrarily disregarding the issue of discharging pollution into the sea, it will certainly offend the anger of the public. This is by no means the act of a wise and responsible nation. (End)
