Today, I would like to talk about the discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima. Now, 12 years after the Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear power plant accident, the discharge of contaminated water has begun in Fukushima. When I heard this news, my heart was truly filled with anger and sadness. I have put the thoughts I felt during the incident into this article, so I hope that everyone will not pay attention to it. Additionally, political slanderous comments will be blocked.

The discharge of contaminated water began at 1pm on August 24th. Contaminated water from Fukushima, which suffered 12 years of confusion and pain due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and nuclear power plant accident, is now being dumped into the sea. I have no choice but to watch this happen, and my feelings of hurt, anger, and resentment deepen. Also, what words can we express our regret to our descendants?
Since I am also a human being, seeing this incident made me think of various things. I put those thoughts into this article, so I ask for your support and encouragement. And I also feel very sad that the radioactively contaminated ocean has become a source of tears. The contaminated water is stored in 1,066 tanks, which are then diluted and released into the Pacific Ocean through large pipes.
The plan to release contaminated water, which is scheduled to start at 1pm on August 24th and last an astonishing 30 years, will result in 1,340,000 tons of contaminated water being dumped into the sea. Tokyo Electric Power Company has announced plans to ultimately discharge 31,000 tons by March 2024. The decision to release water was made despite opposition from neighboring countries, and the reason was said to be economic.
Although it has been determined that there is no problem scientifically and technically, I think such a position is an ambiguous and dangerous statement to the public. Since the substance called tritium is not purified or diluted, what makes this problem so serious is that it is released like this every time. In the next 30 years, I will be a grandmother. But what should our descendants do? And what’s even scarier is that there is little data on the effects of tritium on the human body.
What can we do if we know this process? In fact, just look at the facts about Japan dumping polluted water into the sea. Currently, there is considerable opposition from Japanese fishermen and China, and the Chinese government has suggested additional import restrictions on Japanese seafood and food. Japan has said it will continue to monitor tritium concentrations, but how can we understand its actions in making that decision? Japan committed many sins in the past, and seems to have inherited those sins today.
It really breaks my heart. I am very angry and bitter at the fact that 1,340,000 tons of contaminated water stored in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has now been dumped into the sea, and that more water will continue to flow in in the future and continue to be polluted. This is a truly sad day.
Today we talked about the discharge of contaminated water from Fukushima. I hope that this article can convey interest and thoughts to many people. thank you
