However, from the end of November 2020, the factory stopped working. This is like a knife cut into the despair of the nearly 300 inhabitants living on the island. These people are forced to drink contaminated water, fear outbreaks of disease and face the fear of prolonged starvation. Impotent “Skin diseases and diarrhea are widespread, especially among children. We have no choice but to drink contaminated water or salt water,” said Taboree Biremon, a resident of Banaba island. “The kids are not okay because they don’t understand (why do we have to deal with this). They keep asking for the kind of food they never get. We just feel so sad about it but what can we do?” According to Mr. Taboree, it has been 3 months since people have had no fresh water to drink, cannot bathe, have no food other than fish because all crops have died. “We couldn’t sleep either. All we wanted was to find water on the island. We are looking for a way to survive. We were adrift in the sea, lost and no one cared,” Mr. Taboree said. Empty food shelves – a familiar image in many houses in Banaba. Photo: Guardian. A ship from Kiribati – 400km away – docked this past March – providing bottled water and equipment to set up a new desalination plant. But island seniors insist relying on remote support is not feasible and sustainable, especially as the climate crisis worsens. “Dealerization plants are not a long-term solution. As the incident continued, we were in the same impasse again. What the people need is to restore the status of the island,” said Roubena Ritata, a village elder. Banaba leaders are looking for a lasting solution. In fact, there is a solution that their ancestors have worked for decades to survive on this island: the traditional method of drawing water. Reason Elders are writing to the Australian and New Zealand governments asking for assistance in building or cleaning up a network of underground water in the caves, called te bangabanga . Australia and New Zealand contributed to the destruction of the bangabanga te system in the 20th century from phosphate mining. This activity was started by Australian miner Albert Ellis in 1900. Over the next 80 years, the British Phosphate Commission (BPC) – owned by Australia, New Zealand and the UK – exploited Banaba Island so much that about 90% of the island was bare land. “The total destruction (Banaba island) is the result of the activities of these countries. They come, fill their pockets, and leave,” said Katerina Teaiwa, an associate professor at the Australian National University and author of “Ocean Island: The Story of Man and Phosphate from Banaba”. The Banaba has historically survived many severe droughts thanks to caves and water storage. The underground caves are called te bangabanga. Photo: Guardian. However, the elderly residents here claim that almost all of the caves have been destroyed, the remaining few are seriously polluted. “For many people, te bangabanga exist only in stories and dances that have been passed down through generations,” said elder Pelenise Alofa. Historically, only women have been allowed to enter these caves, showing the importance and role of women in the Banaba community. “We performed dances and told the story of how the ancestors found the cave to the young. It’s part of the people of Banaba. I thought these problems would be solved, but they got worse,” said Alofa. The Banaba used to receive a compensation for what they had to endure. In 1976, a group of people sued the UK over the destruction of the island’s nature. The court then ruled that Britain had only a moral debt, not a legal obligation. In the end, the British government decided on behalf of the group to offer the Banaba people a good faith settlement of nearly $7.8 million, on condition that they waive all further legal action. Now, as the drought persists, the Banaba people are forced to continue their search for compensation and find a lasting solution. Looking for justice 6,000 people were forced to migrate from the island to the Fijian island of Rabi. “Banaba citizens living in Fiji and the diaspora in Auckland are eager to return to Banaba and connect with their homeland. But the devastation caused by mining operations leaves people with no other choice,” said Rae Baineti, director of the Kiribati Auteroa Diaspora Director. “As a social activist, I advise the younger generation to stand firm and be brave. I encourage them to dialogue to hold the government accountable for our destruction of land,” he added. An old cantilever used to load phosphates for ships. Photo: Guardian. Over-mining has also resulted in houses in Banaba being built with asbestos. This substance when inhaled can lead to two deadly diseases, lung cancer and mesothelioma. Mike McRae-Williams, an Australian environment expert with over 30 years of experience in the mining industry, came to Banaba in 2008 to assess the severity of the situation. “This is a serious health hazard to the people who live here,” he said. “Instead of constantly giving stories like ‘poor Banaba people, no water, help them’, we should aim for an approach that is to find a reasonable solution,” said resident Teaiwa. While supporting the emergency rescue effort along with the Kiribati government, a spokesperson for the New Zealand Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade declined to comment on the Banaba residents’ request for New Zealand and Australia to address the root of the crisis. panic. Meanwhile, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade did not provide an answer to this issue.

Domestic workers have been severely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo: ILO) In Vietnam, domestic workers are now subject to labor laws, but the challenge that Vietnam currently faces is compliance with the law. These are the comments of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in its latest report published on June 15. On the occasion of International Labor Day Domestic Workers (June 16), the ILO released the Report Making Decent Work a Reality for Domestic Workers: Progress and Prospects in Asia and the Pacific Duong. The report shows that, ten years after the adoption of the Domestic Workers Convention of 2011 (Convention No. 189), the majority of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region ( 61.5%) are still completely out of the scope of national labor laws while 84.3% of them still work in informal jobs. The absence of national labor laws and the high level of informality continue to severely affect the working conditions of domestic workers in the Asia-Thailand region. Binh Duong. More than 50% of domestic workers are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region Chihoko Asada Miyakawa, Director of the ILO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific, said that there is an urgent need to formalize domestic work in Asia and the Pacific, starting with employment. domestic help is regulated by labor law and social security to ensure this important worker enjoys the protection and respect they deserve. The Philippines is the only country in the Asia-Pacific region that has ratified the Domestic Labor Convention ten years after its ratification. According to statistics, the Asia-Pacific region has 38.3 million domestic workers aged 15 and over (of which 78.4% are female), equivalent to 50.6% of domestic workers. families around the world, and this is the largest employer of domestic workers worldwide. In which, China accounts for the majority of these workers (22 million). This is also the region that employs the most male domestic workers, accounting for 46.1% of the male labor rate. families around the world. The data shows that the majority of domestic workers in the region are not subject to any limits on working hours (71%) or enjoy weekly leave (64%) under the provisions of the Labor Code. current labor law. The report also shows that domestic workers are often the lowest paid in the labor market, especially when they work in the informal sector. It is estimated that the Covid-19 pandemic has had a major impact on domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region due to the high level of informality and the lack of protections provided for in the law. leading to job loss. Their risk of losing their job is 2-3 times higher than that of other workers. Domestic workers in Vietnam need to be protected in practice Vietnam is one of the few countries in the region bringing domestic workers under the scope of labor law. The Labor Code 2019 and the accompanying Decree No. 145/2000/ND-CP stipulate that family workers must have a written contract that meets certain standards, including limits on working hours. and rest time. Among Southeast Asian countries, only in Vietnam are domestic workers entitled to a minimum wage at least equal to the minimum wage for other workers. According to ILO Vietnam Director, Dr. Chang-Hee Lee, although Vietnam has made significant progress, which includes bringing domestic workers under the protection of the labor law, But the challenge facing today is how to strengthen compliance with the law and close the gap between the protections provided in the law and the actual experience of domestic workers. According to a new ILO report, 19% of domestic workers in Vietnam work through service providers, and the number of domestic workers migrating abroad has continuously increased over the past decade. by. Since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic workers have become much more vulnerable to job loss than other types of workers. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, the rate of domestic workers decreased by 17% in the second quarter of 2020, while the unemployment rate of other hired workers in the same period was only 6.1%. . In parallel with some domestic workers losing their jobs, others have reduced working hours. Both of these situations lead to a significant reduction in total wages received. In the second quarter of 2020, the working hours of domestic workers in Vietnam decreased by 24.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Due to job loss and reduced working hours, the wages that laborers earn Domestic helpers in Vietnam received decreased by 26.2%. By 2026, Vietnam is expected to ratify the ILO Domestic Workers Convention (Convention No. 189). In the Asia-Pacific region, there are still 61.5% of domestic workers who are not subject to labor laws. – 84.3% of domestic workers in the informal sector work in informal work, while this figure for other workers is 52.8%. – 64% of domestic workers in the Asia-Pacific region are not entitled to weekly leave…

If Everest could be placed at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the world’s tallest mountain would still be nestled beneath the Pacific Ocean. According to INSH, the Mariana Trench was formed about 180 million years ago, but the Challenger abyss was only discovered in 1875. This abyss is one of the hardest places on Earth to explore. The pressure there is 1,000 times greater than the pressure on land. Only three people have ever ventured down to explore by submersible. The sea temperature in Challenger is as low as freezing point (only 1.1 to 3.9 degrees Celsius). Meanwhile, water from vents at the bottom of the abyss can be as hot as 450 degrees Celsius, but cannot boil due to too much pressure. In return, it is rich in minerals, which help sustain many marine creatures in harsh conditions. 5 The name Pacific (Pacific) was given by the explorer from which country?

Weighing up to 80,000 tons, the island is a revolving mass of beach debris, consisting of plastic bags, undigested plastic bottles and other trash. Confined to the currents of the North Pacific vortex, a giant eddy and a meeting point for ocean currents, the island of trash rotates between Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean. mainland North America. Four other whirlpools in the world’s oceans also contain millions of tons of polluting debris. Debris floats on the water, but in some places up to meters deep, can have ominous consequences for the environment. Marine mammals, turtles and seabirds may mistake decomposing plastic waste for plankton – their primary source of nutrition – and eat it, damaging the digestive system. How are storms in the Pacific Ocean named? Icon By number of the year Icon Take alternately from the list of countries in the proposed area Icon Both answers above Explain The storm’s name in the Pacific is taken from a database compiled by the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Tropical Cyclone program, according to AccuWeather. “Weather forecasters have a list of special names for hurricanes. Periodically, one name is no longer used and replaced by a new name,” said Jim Andrews, senior meteorologist at the National Weather Service. weather forecaster AccuWeather said. This list includes 140 names selected by countries in the region such as China, Japan, Vietnam and Cambodia. There is no restriction on the number of appellations that may be used in a calendar year. The names in the list are only given to tropical cyclones of hurricane level and above and are taken in order from top to bottom. If the list of names for that year is exhausted, the storm names will be taken from an additional list of 10 names and will be released before the hurricane season begins. A tropical cyclone in the northwest Pacific is classified as a hurricane if it has winds between 73-148 km/h. If the storm has winds of 149 km/h or more, it will be classified as a super typhoon.

The Pacific Ocean stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Antarctic continent in the south. The widest east-west width is 19,800 km, separating Asia, Oceania from the Americas. The Pacific Ocean has an average depth of 4,280 m. The deepest point of the ocean lies in the Mariana Trench, 10,911 m deep. This is also the deepest point of the Earth’s crust, 13 times the height of the Burj Khalifa – the tallest building in the world in Dubai. If Everest could be placed on the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the world’s highest mountain would still lie underneath the Pacific Ocean. 3. Which ocean is the smallest? Icon southern Ocean Icon Atlantic Icon Arctic Ocean The correct answer is answer C: According to the National Ocean Service, the Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean on Earth with an area of ​​nearly 14.1 million square kilometers. Even the smallest, it is still nearly 1.5 times larger than the US. The Arctic Ocean borders the United States (the Alaska region), Russia, Canada, Norway and Denmark (the Greenland region). The average depth of this ocean is about 1,205 m, the deepest point is 5,567 m. The Arctic Ocean is almost completely covered by ice most of the year. However, this ocean is not barren. When the ice melts, organisms and nutrients are released into the water. This promotes the growth of algae under the ice. These algae provide food for small organisms, zooplankton, and are a source of food for fish, squid, seals and whales. Some of these larger creatures become prey to polar bears. When the organisms under the ice die, they sink to the ocean floor and feed sponges, anemones and other bottom organisms. 4. Is the Atlantic Ocean larger than the Indian Ocean, right or wrong? Icon It’s correct Icon Wrong The correct answer is answer A: Kindy Data already has a comparison showing that the Atlantic Ocean has an area larger than the Indian Ocean.

Icon South Pacific Icon Indian Ocean Icon Atlantic The correct answer is Answer A: 90% of all volcanic activity on earth is concentrated in the ocean with the largest concentration in the South Pacific. 7. What is the freezing temperature of the oceans about Celsius? Icon -10 degrees C Icon -5 ° C Icon -1.8 degrees C The correct answer is Answer C: Seawater freezes around −1.8 ° C (28.8 ° F). When the temperature of the water drops low enough, ice crystals form on the surface. 8. Which ocean contains the highest salt content in the world? Icon Pacific Icon Atlantic Icon Indian Ocean The correct answer is answer B: Which ocean is the most salty in the world? that is the Atlantic Ocean. In this barn, the average salinity is about 37.9 o / oo. In the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic Ocean is the region with the greatest salinity. The reason is that the temperature here is quite high and located far from the mainland, so it does not receive water from rivers and streams. The lightest seawater belongs to the Arctic and Antarctic regions. This is understandable, these are 2 areas with low temperature and continuous rainfall and ice melting.

The Russian Ministry of Defense on April 16 released a video of a MiG-31 interceptor deployed to monitor and escort a US Air Force RC-135 strategic aircraft reconnaissance as it approached airspace. Russia in the Kamchatka region.

In the video, the MiG-31 flies at a fairly high speed, passing the nose of the RC-135 at a close distance. “After the foreign military aircraft turned to leave, the Russian fighters have returned to a safe base,” the Russian Ministry of Defense added.

The Russian side has said it will “not allow” any violation of the border to occur. The time of the encounter is unknown, but almost a week ago, on April 10, the Russian side also deployed a MiG-31 to chase away US RC-135 aircraft operating near the Russian border. Pacific.

The incident comes in the context of an escalating tensions between Russia and the US following rhetoric, as well as the West’s criticism of Moscow to increase its forces to press Ukraine.

The MiG-31, designated by NATO as Foxhound, has been in service with the Soviet army since 1982, seven years after its maiden flight in 1975. Despite its relatively high age, the MiG-31 is still a battle. fastest match in the world when reaching a maximum speed of Mach 2.83, about 3,000 km / h.

The MiG-31 is currently in service with the Russian Air Force and the Kazakh Air Force. This is the first fighter in the world equipped with a passive electronically scanned array radar (PESA), allowing 24 targets to be tracked and 6 targets simultaneously.

According to Sputnik, a squadron of four MiG-31s ​​can manage 800km2 of airspace, suitable for the vast Russian airspace. The MiG-31 is also an aircraft modified by Moscow to be equipped with the Kinzhal supersonic attack missile.

Ms. Catherine DEROCHE, Chairman of the Committee of Social Affairs of the French Senate, is also the Chairman of the Franco-Vietnam Friendship Senate Group in the Senate.

Reporter: The new Prime Minister of Vietnam, Mr. Pham Minh Chinh, used to be the leader of a locality with an important position in Vietnam economically. In your opinion, what are the advantages for the development of cooperation between the two countries?

Ms. Catherine DEROCHE: I believe that, when selected, Mr. Pham Minh Chinh has the necessary strengths. Local potential and wealth is an important spearhead. With deep economic knowledge and understanding of localities, he will be a good middleman for the cooperation relationship between localities of Vietnam and France. Currently, there are many localities in Vietnam having cooperation relations with localities in France.

Reporter: How do you evaluate the strategic partnership between Vietnam and France, especially the role of Vietnam in the French strategy in the Indo-Pacific region?

Ms. Catherine DEROCHE: Vietnam plays an important role in the Indo-Pacific. The Indo-Pacific is also a strategically important region for France. France wants to consolidate a foothold in this region. Vietnam is an important partner in our strategy here.

We aim to ensure peace and stability in the region, while at the same time guarantee freedom of navigation, respect for international law. With its increasingly important role in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and its pace of development, it is undeniable that Vietnam is a particularly important partner of France in this region.

Reporter: How do you assess Vietnam’s achievements in recent years, especially its success in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic?

Ms. Catherine DEROCHE: For the COVID-19 pandemic, Vietnam is an example because Vietnam has successfully implemented a strategic strategy since the outbreak of the epidemic, which has been recognized by international organizations. This was indeed an admiration but also a great surprise. How has a country like Vietnam overcome the pandemic, unlike many other countries. To date, only a few thousand viral infections have been recorded, with few deaths. The vaccination campaign has also been implemented very quickly. I think this is a very remarkable management approach.

Meanwhile, the slow, slow awareness of the epidemic, the slow implementation of the bureaucracy made us face problems with masks, testing, the vaccination campaign started but late. France as well as other European countries did not adopt a suitable strategy. In France, we have never been able to isolate the infected person, then proceed to trace, the decision to close the border was made too slow.

Countries like Vietnam adopt a “no virus infection” strategy, while we cannot. /.

The Japanese government believes that after diluting nuclear waste to a concentration below the standard, the method of discharging it into the atmosphere or the sea is more feasible, and requires Tokyo Electric Power Company to make preparations. The dumping operation will start in two years and last for ten years.

The Japanese side claims that the treated nuclear sewage is safe, and the radioactive tritium content is equivalent to one-seventh of the tritium concentration of the World Health Organization’s drinking water standard, and the International Atomic Energy Agency approves the discharge of Japanese sewage into the sea.

Since the 311 earthquake occurred in Japan in 2011, about 1,000 water storage tanks have been stacked near the Fukushima nuclear power plant to preserve the sewage that has contacted the nuclear reactor and the containment of the cooling reactor core. According to Tepco’s data as of March 18, The island’s first nuclear power plant has stored 1,250,844 cubic meters of sewage.

The total amount of sewage stored in the storage tanks built by TEPCO in Fukushima is 1.37 million cubic meters (as of December 11, 2020), and cooling nuclear sewage is continuously generated. If it is not discharged or transferred, the nuclear sewage will be Will face no space to store.

Therefore, for TEPCO, there is not much time left for Japan to hesitate, and the government needs to confirm the discharge to sea water as soon as possible.

Although the Japanese government and TEPCO Chen Japan are already unable to store and treat nuclear sewage, it is necessary to discharge it into the sea, but Japanese non-governmental organizations and many Japanese people strongly oppose it.

Over 320 Japanese people protested in front of the Prime Minister’s residence. TheyHolding up the slogan “Don’t Discharge Nuclear Wastewater”, he asked the government to withdraw the discharge decision.

Asahi Shimbun interview62-year-old protest memberInoue NyohiroMeans:”The country said it had to have a proper explanation, but it did not reach an agreement with the fishermen.The unilateral emission decision process is undemocratic. ”

According to a previous survey by Japan’s Asahi Shimbun, more than 55% of the people opposed the discharge of nuclear sewage.

The president of Japan’s National Fisheries Cooperative Association issued a statement on April 13 saying that he regrets the decision (of the Japanese government) and cannot tolerate it. Believing that this is a behavior that tramples on the feelings of all Japanese fishery practitioners, he said that his attitude against dumping into the sea will not change in the future.

Japan is a close neighbor of our country. Once discharged, our country will inevitably be affected by nuclear sewage.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country said in a statement: “Japan has not exhausted safe disposal methods, regardless of domestic and foreign questions and opposition, and without full consultation with neighboring countries and the international community, unilaterally decided to dispose of nuclear waste water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident by way of drainage. Being responsible will seriously damage international public health and safety and the vital interests of people in neighboring countries.”

The South Korean government also believes that Japan’s decision was made without the consent of neighboring countries. It strongly opposes this and should ensure the openness and transparency of nuclear waste water information.

There are currently 31 South Korean organizations in a joint statement condemning Japan’s nuclear wastewater discharge plan, and that Japan’s move is nuclear terrorism. Some South Korean citizens protested in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, demanding that Japan withdraw its decision.

311 organizations from 24 countries around the world participated in the plan to oppose the discharge of Japanese nuclear sewage. On the change, 65430 people also signed the plan to oppose the discharge of Japanese nuclear sewage into the sea.

In the midst of a condemnation, the U.S. Department of Foreign Affairs responded by expressing its support for the Japanese government’s decision and believed that the Japanese approach complies with the globally recognized nuclear safety standards.

US Secretary of State Blinken expressed his gratitude to Japan for its efforts to deal with the Fukushima issue on Twitter, and looked forward to the coordination between the Japanese government and the International Atomic Energy Agency.

Even after processing,

Is the nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan really safe?

Japan’s basis is that the treated sewage from nuclear power plants in the world is discharged to the sea. Therefore, Fukushima nuclear sewage is discharged after treatment. Even TEPCO’s materials call this type of nuclear sewage “treated water”.

But is the nuclear sewage from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan really the same as the sewage from a normally operating nuclear power plant? The processed and compliant data is probably just a side word of Japan.

BeforeThe US “Science” magazine has issued a warning against Japan’s discharge of nuclear sewagebehavior:“Fukushima nuclear sewageExcept tritiumThere are other radioactive isotopes, including carbon 14, cobalt 60, and strontium 90. These isotopes will have a more long-lasting and complex impact on humans. For example, the physiological concentration of carbon 14 in fish may be 50,000 times that of tritium.While cobalt 60 can be enriched in seafloor sediments, its concentration may rise 300,000 times. “

“Science” magazine stated: “The discharge of waste water with these radioisotopes exceeding the standard may pose a threat to marine life, humans who eat these organisms, and the environment itself.Not to mention, we don’t know anything about other radioisotopes except for these elements that have already been published.Discharging without removing all radioactive materials in place may seem too sloppy.”

Nuclear experts from Greenpeace also pointed out thatThe carbon 14 contained in Japan’s nuclear waste water is dangerous for thousands of years and may cause genetic damage.

Ken Buesseler, a marine chemist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the United States, once said, “Any plan that involves release into the ocean requires an independent team to be responsible for long-term tracking of the ocean, seabed, and marine organisms. Potential pollutants.The health of the ocean and the lives of countless people depend on the proper handling of this matter. “

Liu Xinhua, chief expert of the Nuclear and Radiation Safety Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, stated that “historical nuclear accidents, such as the Chernobyl and Three Mile Island nuclear accidents, were all released from the atmosphere.There has not been a nuclear accident similar to the Fukushima nuclear accident that produced a large amount of waste water. Therefore, there is no precedent for the discharge of waste water to the sea after the nuclear accident treatment. “

BeforeThe German Marine Science Research Institute has pointed out:The coast of Fukushima has the strongest ocean currents in the world. Within 57 days from the date of discharge, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean, and in 10 years will spread to the global waters!

The earth’s ecology is a complete whole. Once Japan discharges nuclear waste water, people all over the world will be affected.

The above comments of Mr. Konstantin Roginsky, deputy director of the Institute of Oceanography of the Russian Academy of Sciences shared with the media on April 13.

“The amount of wastewater announced by the Japanese side is a small amount. This is a drop of water in the ocean. Even in the worst case, if the wastewater is poorly treated, this heavy water will sink to the bottom and lie at a depth of 5-6-8 km, ”said Mr. Roginsky.

The waste water is planned to be discharged into the ocean, not posing a threat to the ecosystem of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, because the currents in that area go from north to south in the direction of the Russian scientist. Japan”.

The wastewater discharge will begin in about two years and the entire process is expected to take decades. (Image: Reuters)

According to Roginsky, the discharge of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant does not pose a threat to the Sea of ​​Japan, which is separated from the Pacific by islands of Japan. “US naval bases are much more harmful to Japan’s coastal fisheries,” added Roginsky.

“About 1.5 million tons of wastewater will be dumped into the ocean. Accordingly, the water is diluted, losing its natural salinity. This can be more harmful to marine organisms than it is with poor radiation release. They are used to living at a certain salinity, at a certain depth, in a certain chemical composition of water, ”explained the Russian expert.

Also commenting on the contemporary Japanese announcement of the discharge of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the expert of the Federal Council on Agricultural Policy – Food and Environmental Management, Ms. Natalia Sokolova undertook that if the wastewater is properly purified, there will be no radioactive threat to Russia.

“Right now, the amount of liquid accumulated is very large. Most of it is regular water. If purified from all harmful impurities, including tritium, the wastewater can be safely discharged into the oceans, as well as the coastal waters of other countries will not be affected. “, Ms. Sokolova shared with Sputnik.

According to the ecologist, discharging water from nuclear power plants is a common process for operating plants. But Fukushima is an emergency, so it is not known whether or not an operation will be able to proceed. It will become clear by 2023 whether wastewater can be filtered to the required parameters.

“Rigorous laboratory analyzes should be performed during the entire wastewater purification process. Two years prior to discharge is called approximate figure. I am sure that the Japanese government will make a decision on the outcome of the wastewater purification process. So far, these are just plans and the reality is that not all wastewater can be 100% purified ”, believes Ms. Sokolova.

Japan insists it is safe to discharge water from the plant as it has been treated to remove most of the radioactive elements and will be diluted. (Image: Reuters)

Meanwhile, Dmitry Lisitsyn, President of the Far East (Russia) environmental protection organization, said that the discharge of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan would lead to radioactive pollution. was brought to the heart of the North Pacific, where Pacific salmon are inhabited.

“The Fukushima nuclear power plant is located on the Pacific coast of Honshu Island. When radioactive pollution enters the Pacific off the coast of Honshu, they are quickly transported to the northeast by the Kuroshio currents, then into the North Pacific stream. All polluted wastewater is sent directly to the North Pacific. How does this threaten Russia? The fish forage in the North Pacific, then infiltrate the Russian table and there will be more before the polluted wastewater completely disappears, “RIA quoted Mr. Lisitsyn.

Lisitsyn noted six Pacific salmon species live in the Far East. They spawn in rivers, feed and grow in the ocean. Specifically in the central region of the North Pacific. This is exactly the site where this pollution was done.

What does the IAEA say?

Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Rafael Mariano Grossi, welcomed the decision of the Japanese Government to discharge wastewater from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea and promised that the organization would assistance to avoid negative consequences.

“I welcome Japan’s announcement of how they will treat wastewater stored at the Fukushima nuclear power plant. The IAEA will work with Japan before, during and after discharge to help ensure this is done without negatively affecting health and the environment, ”wrote Grossi on Twitter.

According to Mr. Grossi, the controlled discharge of water into the sea is regularly used by nuclear power plants operating in the world and in the region, they comply with strict environmental safety standards and regulations. .

The start of wastewater discharge is expected to be around 2023. At the current rate of storage in reservoirs, all available reservoirs will be filled by the end of 2022.

Earlier, speaking at a press conference on April 13, Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide announced that it would discharge more than 1 million tons of wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea, saying that the discharge of water into Thai waters Binh Duong was the “most realistic” and “inevitable” option to achieve the recovery of Fukushima.
