Fukushima Nuclear Plant Disaster

Nuclear disaster is one of the most difficult disasters people can face. The period of these disasters has a permanent impact on the generation, bringing astronomical figures to humans and the environment. Nuclear disasters at nuclear power plant Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station will continue to cause serious damage. Since the nuclear power revolution has only just begun, the ability to deal with these incidents is limited to our experiences in the Ukraine case of the Three Mile Shimano Reactor meltdown and Chernobyl.

Note on radiation: Because most of our seaweed comes from the Pacific, students and friends often ask about radiation in algae due to the disaster of the Fukushima nuclear power plant. It is not clear what the answer to this troublesome question is. This 2012 article shared the measurement results of seaweed, but in this article of 2013, the authors note that Fukushima radioactive isotope is present in the kelp at the California coast, but after another month I explained that there was no. It appeared. Eden Foods said that as with Rising Chaohai vegetables none of those foods has been tested for contamination. Main Coast Sea Vegetables also tested its products, and as a result, detectable levels of radiation were not detected. Seaweed really helps fight radiation poisoning. To learn more about radiation in our world, please check the details of The Holy Kale.

Fukushima nuclear power plant accident: In March 2011, a large-scale tsunami occurred along the northeast coast of Japan, and four of the six nuclear reactors at the Fukushima nuclear power plant emitted radiation into the atmosphere and the ocean. After the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, German Prime Minister Angela Merkel reversed the position on nuclear power immediately, and was surprised to announce that Germany gradually closes the nuclear power plant by 2022. Eight of the 17 German power stations were closed almost instantly and Germany began a long-term plan to be independent of nuclear power and coal. Renewable energy accounts for nearly 30% of the total energy production in Germany by 2016 and nuclear energy has declined from 23% in 2010 to 13.1% in 2016, of total energy production.

The disaster in Fukushima in 2011 showed the world that nuclear power generation is clearly not completely secure. The collapse of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was the worst since 25 years ago in Chernobyl accident in Ukraine. Public investment in nuclear power far exceeds investment in renewable energy. Nuclear power plants that have been constructed and discontinued are also expensive and the cost of storing radioactive waste must also be taken into consideration (in fact, indefinitely). If funds for nuclear energy are used for renewable energy, the ROI per euro will be much greater.
