1ºJapan must stop discharging nuclear seawage!
This is a disaster for the whole world! We can learn from the 1986 accident at the Chernobyl from the neclear power plant in Ukraine. It was the product of a severely flawed Soviet-era reactor design, combined with human error.
DEATH
• Thirty-one people died within a few weeks of the accident from the initial steam explosion, exposure to radiation and thermal burns, and one due to cardiac arrest.
• In 2018, the UNSCEAR reported that the accident also was responsible for nearly 20,000 documented cases of thyroid cancer among individuals who were under 18 years of age at the time of the accident in the three affected countries including Belarus, Ukraine and so on. This was due to the high levels of radioactive iodine released from the Chernobyl reactor in the early days after the accident. Radioactive iodine was deposited in pastures eaten by cows who then concentrated it in their milk which was subsequently ingested by children. This was further exacerbated by a general iodine deficiency in the local diet causing more of the radioactive iodine to be accumulated in the thyroid.
PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT
• Both the IAEA and UNSCEAR report that health studies of cleanup workers fail to provide a direct correlation between radiation exposure and an increase of any other forms of cancer attributable to radiation exposures. However, the psychological effects of Chernobyl remain widespread and profound resulting in suicides, alcohol abuse and apathy.
OTHE DEASEA
• Most emergency workers and people living in contaminated areas received relatively low whole-body radiation doses, according to a United Nations studyed. The study found no evidence of increases in solid cancers, decreased fertility or congenital malformations. However, there is “some evidence of a detectable increase” in leukemia and cataract risk among workers who received higher radiation doses when engaged in recovery at the site.
Japanase are uneducated!
