Nuclear waste disposal is a major problem in nuclear power generation countries. How did Japan do it?
Despite the condemnation of the international community, Japan even discharges nuclear waste like seawater. This has also caused nuclear pollution in the surrounding waters. However, generally speaking, things like solving nuclear waste are buried deep in no man's land. However, because Japan is not a country with a large number of no-man's land and its land area is very narrow, it is the most convenient way to discharge nuclear waste like the ocean, but it also brings great hidden dangers to the maritime safety of neighboring countries.

Due to the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan, the nuclear radiation in the waters around Japan exceeded the standard, and a large amount of nuclear waste was also produced. Of course, Japan itself is a nuclear power country, and there are many nuclear power plants in China, which produce a large amount of nuclear waste every year. But many of these things are not buried deep, but like being dumped in the Pacific Ocean. This has also had a great impact on fishery resources and marine pollution.

Therefore, in recent years, the international community has been condemning this behavior of Japan, because it harms the interests of people all over the world, because nuclear pollution and radiation can easily lead to death and disease. This is irresponsible for the life safety of the people of the world and the Japanese people. So there is a reason why Japan has been criticized in the field of nuclear energy. However, Japan will not listen to the advice of the international community, and it still chooses to continue to discharge nuclear waste into the ocean.

Of course, Japan's nuclear power plant facilities can be said to be very safe before the Fukushima nuclear power plant leakage, but due to the earthquake, the Fukushima nuclear power plant leakage has also attracted strong attention from the international community. Whether Japan, a country with frequent earthquakes and tsunamis, should build so many nuclear power plant facilities is a question worthy of consideration.
