Japan’s first batch of nuclear pollution water emissions announced! Shenzhen market supervision department reminds →
According to CCTV news
22 nd local time
The Japanese government announced that
It will start on August 24th.
Discharge the polluted water from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the sea.
Tokyo Electric Power Company also announced the same day.
Detailed steps of emission
According to the plan, a large amount of seawater will be added to the treated water before discharge. If the concentration is confirmed to be reduced to the expected level, the first batch of 7,800 tons of nuclear polluted water will be discharged within 17 days. In 2023, the estimated emission is about 31,200 tons, and the total amount of tritium is 5 trillion Bekkerel, which is about 20% of TEPCO’s annual planned emission limit (22 trillion Bekkerel).
Japan’s nuclear polluted water will be discharged into the sea for at least 30 years.
Tritium may not be the most dangerous.
Gao Zhiguo, president of the China Society for the Law of the Sea and former judge of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, said that from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in 2011 to 2021, the nuclear polluted water has probably accumulated 1.38 million tons, and it is increasing every year. "Because Japan has never disclosed real data, it is estimated that there are about 1.5 million tons of nuclear polluted water now, and the discharge time may be as long as 30 to 50 years."
Gao Zhiguo said that what the international community is most worried about now is that nuclear radioactive elements and substances enter the marine environment. Japan has been misleading that "the problem lies only in tritium", but many scientists in the world have a consensus that there are as many as 64 kinds of nuclear radioactive elements in nuclear polluted water, and more than 70% of them exceed the standard, so it is difficult for multi-nuclide equipment to completely treat them.
Gao Zhiguo: After these radioactive elements enter the marine environment, tritium may not be the most dangerous, but carbon -14 and iodine -129 are the most harmful to human beings and marine life. The half-life of carbon -14 is about 5000 years, and the half-life of iodine -129 is longer. Carbon -14 will accumulate in marine organisms, and the abundance or concentration of carbon -14 accumulation may be 50 times that of tritium.
Japanese expert: Fukushima nuclear polluted water discharged into the sea
bring endless trouble
Seiji Goto, a Japanese engineering and technical expert, is engaged in the containment design of nuclear reactors, and has been paying attention to the dynamics of the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge plan. He believes that the so-called "treated water" treated by multi-nuclide removal equipment not only contains tritium that cannot be removed, but also contains many other radioactive substances, and the harm after entering the human body cannot be underestimated.
Goto Masahiro said: "For example, cesium will have an impact on the thyroid gland, and strontium will invade the bones. Even a small amount will cause great damage to local organs, and the risk of local cancer will increase. The radiation risk of radioactive materials is completely ignored, which is a big problem. "
Goto Masahiro believes that a more cautious attitude should be adopted for the scheme of discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea.
Goto Masayoshi: It is absurd for the Japanese government to emphasize that it is safe to discharge the sea. In addition, the unilateral decision to discharge the sea is against public opinion, and it is hoped that the Japanese government will reconsider the methods other than discharging the sea. It is not too late to stop at the brink.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
Strongly opposed to Japan’s launching of nuclear pollution water discharge into the sea
Has made solemn representations.
China Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin held a regular press conference on August 22nd.
A reporter asked: China strengthened the import control of Japanese food before the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge plan was launched. On the 22nd, the Japanese government officially decided to start the sea discharge. Will China consider introducing new control measures? In the future, if the Japanese government provides China with the advice of relevant experts on the discharge of nuclear polluted water, will China accept it?
Wang Wenbin: The government of China adheres to the principle of people first, and relevant departments will take all necessary measures to safeguard food safety and the health of people in China. We strongly urge Japan to correct its wrong decision, cancel its plan to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea, communicate with neighboring countries in good faith, properly dispose of nuclear polluted water in a responsible manner and accept strict international supervision.
From August 24, Hong Kong will ban
Import of Aquatic Products in 10 Counties of Japan
Lee Ka Chiu John, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) posted on the official account of Weibo yesterday, pointing out that the Japanese government was bent on discharging nuclear polluted water into the sea. This unprecedented and 30-year-long decision and practice of discharging nuclear polluted water in large quantities, regardless of the unavoidable risks to food safety and the irrecoverable pollution and damage to the marine environment, was an irresponsible imposition of its own problems on others. He expressed strong opposition.
Lee Ka Chiu John said that food safety and public health are the top priorities of the SAR government. He has immediately instructed the Secretary for Environment and Ecology and relevant departments to immediately start import control measures to protect food safety and public health in Hong Kong.
Xie Zhanhuan, director of the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government, said today that the SAR Government will ban the import of aquatic products from Tokyo, Fukushima, Chiba, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Gunma, Miyagi, Niigata, Nagano and Saitama into Hong Kong from August 24, including all live, frozen, refrigerated and dried aquatic products.
At the same time, the Hong Kong Food Safety Center will strengthen the detection of Japanese food, and the Environment Bureau will announce the radiation test results of food, water and other areas every day.
Macao announced that from August 24,
Prohibit the import of aquatic products in 10 counties of Japan.
The Japanese government announced that it will discharge Fukushima nuclear polluted water into the sea in the near future, and the Macao SAR Government expressed strong dissatisfaction on the 22nd. In order to ensure the food safety and residents’ health in Macao, the SAR Government will take necessary measures to ban the import of 10 items from Fukushima, Chiba, Tochigi, Ibaraki, Gunma, Miyagi, Niigata, Nagano, saitama and Tokyo from August 24th, 2023.
The Macao SAR Government stated that it was extremely irresponsible for Japan to decide to discharge nuclear polluted water into the sea without full consultation with its neighbors. The SAR Government is highly concerned about the incident. The Urban Services Department has been in close contact with the General Administration of Customs and Gongbei Customs, and has also established a notification mechanism with the Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety.
The Macau Municipal Services Department will also step up inspections of retail stores in the market, mainly targeting at non-staple foods imported from other places in Japan, such as rice, laver, tea, snacks and other prepackaged foods, to be detected by hand-held radiometers, and food samples will be taken for radionuclide detection. In order to enhance the transparency of information and strengthen popular science education, the Urban Services Department will open a special website on food safety for nuclear inspection from tomorrow. Apart from publishing radiation detection data every day, it will also publicize popular science to the society through graphic packages, posts and short films.
Take risks and sell against the wind
Or will bear criminal responsibility.
The state has already banned it.
Import this series of food.
in spite of
There are still some businesses.
Take risks and sell against the wind!
For merchants who knowingly commit crimes
What measures are there besides punishment?
According to the market supervision department of Shenzhen, if businesses import food from ten counties (capitals) of Japan and sell it, they will not only accept administrative punishment, but also bear criminal responsibility. According to Item 12 of Article 34 of the Food Safety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), it is prohibited to produce and operate foods that are explicitly prohibited by the state for special needs such as disease prevention;
Article 123: Anyone who, in violation of the provisions of this Law, produces or markets food that is explicitly prohibited by the state for special needs such as disease prevention, but does not constitute a crime, the food and drug supervision and administration department of the people’s government at or above the county level shall confiscate the illegal income and illegally produced and marketed food, and may also confiscate tools, equipment, raw materials and other articles used for illegal production and marketing; If the value of food illegally produced and operated is less than 10,000 yuan, a fine of more than 100,000 yuan and less than 150,000 yuan shall be imposed; If the value of the goods is more than 10,000 yuan, a fine of more than 15 times and less than 30 times of the value of the goods shall be imposed; If the circumstances are serious, the license shall be revoked, and the person in charge directly responsible and other directly responsible personnel may be detained by the public security organ for more than five days and less than fifteen days.
