On August 24, despite the opposition of many countries, Japan brazenly discharged a large amount of nuclear-contaminated water generated by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. However, in the official correspondence between the Tokyo Electric Power Company, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and the Japanese government, these nuclear contaminated water with serious hidden dangers is called "nuclear wastewater". The Japanese government claims that this "nuclear wastewater" has been strictly purified, and the only radioactive element in it, tritium, is far below international standards and can be discharged. This has caused a global public outcry, and countries have condemned and protested, accusing them of replacing the concept of nuclear contaminated water as "nuclear wastewater" discharge, seriously endangering the Earth's Marine ecological environment. Nuclear waste water contains radioactive tritium, which has low toxicity and will still cause harm to human body when the concentration is high. Therefore, nuclear waste water must also be treated and diluted to meet the standard before discharge.
