Only a caring attitude towards wildlife can help it stay as it is. Other articles featured on 日日 Japanese authorities allow water from Fukushima nuclear power plant to be discharged into ocean. Australian environmentalist Jim Smith, who has studied the effects of radiation on the environment for many years, believes this is the best solution. Nuclear Power Plant Background In April, due to the tsunami, an accident occurred at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant on the east coast of Japan.
Since then, the area has accumulated vast amounts of contaminated water, which is moible number data used to cool damaged reactors. Multiple storage tanks were built to store more than 10,000 tons of radioactive liquid. Tepco recently said it lacks the space to store this water on land. In addition, in the event of an earthquake or typhoon, there is a risk of the tank leaking or breaking. Therefore, the discharge of water from them into the Pacific Ocean through pipelines. Only the tritium remains in the water.
Before being stored in tanks, all wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant is treated to remove nearly all radioactive elements. These include, for example, cobalt, strontium and cesium. But tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, remained after it was removed. Radioactive water is formed when one hydrogen atom in water (a water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom) is replaced by tritium. It is chemically identical to normal substances.
