Radioactive waste from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident、A sudden government proposal to create an intermediate disposal facility in Fukushima Prefecture for (temporary) storage has taken Fukushima Prefecture by surprise.。Prime Minister Suga seems to be planning to leave a stain behind with his sudden statements until the very end.。
The government says that this intermediate disposal facility will not be used as a final disposal site.。Well then、Where will the final disposal site be after this? high、Is that so? Is there any local government in Japan today that would be willing to accept nuclear waste as a final disposal site?
my hometown、There is a municipality called Rokkasho Village next to Higashitori Village on the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori Prefecture.。There is a nuclear reprocessing company and facility called Japan Nuclear Fuel.。Electric power companies and economic circles with nuclear power plants、It was established through government-led joint investment by nuclear power-related organizations.。This word "reprocessing" is addictive.、It is called pluthermal project.、Extracting plutonium from the burnt remains of uranium fuel、Currently, plans to use it as fuel again have stalled.、In reality, it is little more than a dumping ground for radioactive waste.。Also、This plan has been going on for over 30 years.、Plutonium has never been actually extracted and reused as fuel.。An unspeakable grudge swirled between the prefecture, residents, and the national government over the construction of this facility.。After all this time,、Although the government has clearly stated that it will not be used as a final disposal site.、If you search all over the world, you won't find a single person who believes that (even government officials).。At that time, under the Liberal Democratic Party government、This intermediate disposal site was made possible because the governor was also a member of the Liberal Democratic Party.。
The effects of the Fukushima nuclear power plant are felt not just across the country, but around the world.。America to nuclear accident、To put it simply, the cooperative attitude of French nuclear power-related companies is、Technical interest in accident handling、It's a good case study。Even in Japan, even tea from Shizuoka has been banned from distribution.。Radioactivity not detected、Or Tochigi sold as below the standard value、Ibaraki、Vegetables from Chiba、fruit、Look at fish at the supermarket。No matter how safe the country or prefecture is,、Aren't there piles of unsold items?。There's no need to dare to do things that are scary.。That's the reality。knowing that、There are some local governments that are willing to make their home a final disposal site.、It's impossible to imagine。In other words、It means that it will suffer the same fate as Rokkasho Village.。
In the case of Aomori prefecture、The local government is also trying to convince residents that it is a final disposal site by not publicly acknowledging that it is a final disposal site.、Residents are also postponing conclusions by not acknowledging this.。In exchange for this, it seems as if they are paying a small amount of money (as a final disposal site) to "not remember" the problem.。
I think the country, local governments, and residents should clearly acknowledge that this is a "final disposal site."。I don't want to admit it, but、You should stop trying to somehow cheat and put it somewhere because it's going to accumulate.。If you eat something, the stool will come out even if you don't like it.。That's why no matter how clean your house is, you can't afford not to have a toilet.。But the toilets will eventually become full.。At that time, have a contractor dredge it.、Or build a sewer system with your own taxes.。Contractors and sewer lines will eventually become full.。That's why we need a water treatment plant。Scum accumulates at the water treatment plant as well.。Waste that is truly unusable is treated as non-toxic and used in landfills, etc.。That landfill is the final disposal site.。If the flow is clearly shown, people will be convinced and willing to pay taxes.。The same is true of nuclear waste.。clearly show the flow、By specifically showing that this is the case、Guarantee too、Measures against accidents are also clearly placed on the table.、You will also be able to combine all your knowledge.。By making it ambiguous by calling it an intermediate disposal site, etc.、The final processing method、It becomes impossible to consider costs in detail.。Eventually, an accident will occur。This is not limited to nuclear power plants, but matters that require political judgment.、Japan's tendency is to not face things head-on.。In other words, politicians are running away from the real issue.。
I say this so that there is no misunderstanding、I'm not saying that somewhere in Fukushima should be made into a final disposal site for nuclear waste.。This means that it should not be mistaken for an intermediate disposal site.。Earthquake reconstruction is the request of residents.、Politicians will probably want to do it because it looks good.。But it's a job that gets your hands dirty、The work that sometimes involves getting muddy is left to the committee.、no one wants to do it。Abandoning nuclear power、Renewable energy is a nice word, but、existing waste、falling objects、Without discussing what to do with the newly emitted radioactivity,、I don't think we can talk about how many more years it will run, whether it will stop, or the cost of power generation.。Building an intermediate disposal site in Fukushima Prefecture means、Given the current situation, wouldn't that be equivalent to abandoning Fukushima?。I feel angry about that。 2011/8/27
