Radiation levels in sea water near Fukushima nuclear power plant surge

The radioactive content of seawater near the Fukushima nuclear power plant surges. People's Daily Online reported that the radioactive material content of the seawater near the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is increasing rapidly. This phenomenon shows that the reactors damaged in the ''major earthquake and tsunami' continue to leak radioactive pollutants. Prior to this, Japan had just had a magnitude earthquake, but there were no casualties. After the Fukushima** nuclear power plant fell into an 'overheating' crisis due to the failure of the cooling attack, rescuers continued to use sea water to cool it down. A large amount of seawater containing radioactive pollutants then flows into the Pacific Ocean. On the day of this month, the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which is responsible for the operation of the power station, said that the 'plugging' work has been successful, and the radioactive pollutants in the nearby seawater have dropped significantly. Now, the iodine-content in the sea water near the Fukushima** nuclear power plant exceeds the normal standard. A few days ago, this number was only a multiple of the normal standard. The content of cesium- and cesium- in the vicinity of the power station is also more than standard times. *Recently, Japan has also installed leak-proof steel plates near the power station, but it still failed to prevent more radioactive materials from spreading. Many experts still say that under the effective dilution of the sea, these wastewater discharged into the Pacific Ocean will not pose a “direct threat” to human health or marine life. Earlier, the 'Asahi Shimbun' reported that the Japanese government may force the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which was responsible for the nuclear accident, to go bankrupt or to be liquidated under 'government supervision.'
