Tokyo Electric Co. running the Japanese
nuclear plants in Fukushima said that they found another leak of radioactive
water over the weekend. It was estimated that 45 tons of water had been
contaminated outside the cooling system and about 300 liters of it had leaked
into the sea. Although the amount of radioactive water leaked into the sea is
not so much, the leak needs to be considered seriously because the water
contains about one million times as much radioactive strontium as the maximum
safe level. Even worse, it may cause tissue damage and increase the risk of developing
cancer if a human absorbs it. I believe that the Japanese government and the
company are doing their best to prevent leakage, but I am expecting more. The
radioactive water leak is not only Japanese’s problem. The water may have a fatal impact on some nearby
countries’ ecosystem.
Thank you for sharing. I agree with your opinion. TEPCO is an exclusive company to handle electricity in some Tohoku area and whole Kanto area. Exclusive companies, generally, do not have to compete with other companies to obtain major shares. The officials of TEPCO did not have to consider about its survival. The situation caused cruel result. So, I realized that competitions among companies are necessary to improve, survive, and manage themselves.
ReplyDeleteI thought the radioactive water event had finished...because they said it had been under their control before. Hoping no more leakage would happen!
