FUKUSHIMA'S WASTE AND THE FUTURE OF OUR PLANET

 

Japan is going to release Fukushima treated radioactive water into sea

Hello everyone!

I will talk about a fact that is the cause of discussions today. The water used to cool the reactors after the dramatic accident at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant will be thrown into the sea.

 Thousands of tanks full of radioactive liquid , for a total of 1.25 million tons, will therefore end up in the ocean . This was decided by the Japanese government, on the morning of Tuesday 13 March.

THE PROS AND CONS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY

 

In the world there are many energy sources, but I decided to talk about one of them, nuclear energy. In the last ten years  humans have been trying to save the planet, modifying  their lifestyle. For example, a solution is to produce electric and Hybrid cars to try to decrease the air pollution but this isn’t enough. Many energy sources produce CO2.  So scientists want to find an alternative type of energies that are not pollutant for the environment.
