“It mentions Japan’s discharge of treated radioactive wastewater from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea. How worried should we be? The water was pumped into sea water to cool nuclear fuel from the tsunami accident. More than ten years ago Therefore, there is a plan to gradually Release the water that has been treated for a long time into the sea. Of course, the treatment will reduce the radioactivity to the standard level. but still exists in the water, especially some substances that are difficult to get rid of Although those substances are concentrated in the harmless criteria. But it is still suspicious of some people, some agencies, some countries. But the main goal of writing this story is not to answer whether it is or not. But I would like to say that I do not have to worry that marine life in Thailand will be affected.
Looking at the picture, you can see that our home sea is 5,000 km away from Fukushima, measured in a straight line. which is actually measured along the coast will be much further If the substance is dangerous before it reaches us have to pass through many countries The Thai sea is farther away. In addition, the Kuroshio current, the main current in the sea, also flows north. Before diverting out into the middle of the ocean, it didn’t flow south toward our house.
If you think about long-term accumulation in soil, sediment, aquatic animals, etc., we are still very far away. All this in order not to worry about friends eating food from the Thai seafood. We can and should still eat. To help fishermen / aquaculture How about seafood imported from Japan? Should I eat it? Seafood imported from Thailand from Japan a high price It’s not a common food that will cause trouble for most people if they don’t eat it, so it’s a matter of deciding whether to eat or not? The purpose of writing this story is that Thai seafood is still edible. and i definitely eat (If there is a babysitter)
