The earthquake in Japan has also attracted global attention. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to the casualties caused by the earthquake and tsunami, the world is also concerned about the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
If there is a leak at this nuclear power plant, it may not affect Japan alone.
In the aftermath of the earthquake, the Japanese government responded quickly by setting up a countermeasures room at the Crisis Management Center of the Prime Minister's Office, issuing instructions for all cabinet members to gather at the residence, and instructing Defense Minister Toshimi Kitazawa to send the Self-Defense Forces to participate in disaster relief activities.
Hours later, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan made a televised speech about the relief effort.
A Japanese government spokesman said the government was sending Self-Defense Forces to the earthquake-stricken areas. The Ministry of Defense has also established the Earthquake Disaster Response Headquarters, which is responsible for liaising with various parts of Japan affected by the disaster, and has ordered the Self-Defense Forces to be on standby at all times in the affected areas.
In the evening, the Japanese government held a meeting of the Emergency Disaster Response Headquarters at the Prime Minister's Office, attended by all cabinet members, including Naoto Kan, and decided that Japan's Self-Defense Force warships and fighter jets should be ordered to rush to the disaster area to participate in the search and rescue efforts. In addition, Japan's Self-Defense Forces have dispatched 8,000 rescue personnel to carry out rescue operations.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported that all Self-Defense Force warships anchored in Yokosuka Port have been ordered to go to Miyagi Prefecture. Eight F-15 fighters have taken off from Air Self-Defense Force bases in Ishikawa Prefecture and Hokkaido to verify the damage. The Ground Self-Defense Force dispatched several helicopters equipped with video transmission equipment.
Various countries have also expressed their condolences to Japan and sent aid teams.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese People's Republic of China said that the Chinese side has made this clear to the Japanese side. In order to help Japan in earthquake relief, we are willing to send rescue teams and medical teams to Japan.
The Red Cross Society of China also donated 1 million yuan to the Japanese Red Cross Society.
The Positive Energy Fund, which has always been helpful, also issued a statement, and the Positive Energy Fund mainly rescues underdeveloped countries. If the Japanese side needs it, the Positive Energy Fund will also lend a helping hand.
Everyone can also see Wang Zixuan's attitude towards Japan from this statement, if you ask for help, I will help you, if you don't ask for help, then forget it.
The Japanese government will certainly not ask for help from the Positive Energy Fund, and other groups are not eligible to ask for help. Or there is no time to pay attention to the statement of the Positive Energy Fund.
The statements of the positive energy fund in various countries have not been widely reported by the media, and now is not the time to hype up national contradictions.
However, there are some people on the domestic Internet who say that the performance of positive energy funds is narrow. However, more netizens absolutely support the positive energy fund.
Little Japan is not short of money, they have the ability to save themselves.
What's more, the relationship between the two countries is that of friend and foe, and donating the positive energy fund to them will allow them to save a sum of money. Maybe it will be used against China in the future.
The next day, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Nuclear Safety and Security Agency announced that the radiation level in the central control room of TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station, which had been shut down voluntarily due to the March 11 earthquake, had reached 1,000 times the normal level. Radiation levels near the plant's gates have also risen, reaching more than 70 times normal levels as of 9:10 a.m. on March 12.
That is, the nuclear power plant leaked.
At this moment, the faces of some domestic experts were a little swollen.
Because of the attention of the whole world, the Japanese side did not dare to hide the situation, and soon after announced that radioactive materials cesium and iodine had been detected in the vicinity of Unit 1 of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Both cesium and iodine are products of nuclear fission of uranium, the fuel of the reactor core, suggesting a further intensification of fuel melting in the reactor core. However, the steam in the reactor vessel of Unit 1 has been released. The air pressure inside the container has already started to drop.
At a press conference on the same day, an official from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Nuclear Safety and Security Agency said, "It can be assumed that the fuel in the core is melting. "The exact temperature of the core is not yet known, but the fuel cladding, which is designed to withstand temperatures of 1,200 degrees, has melted.
This shows that the spread of radioactive materials has continued since the reactor of the nuclear power plant was automatically shut down for about 1 day after the earthquake, and the nuclear power plant accident has reached a very serious state.
The Japanese government has raised the evacuation area of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from a radius of 10 kilometers to a radius of 20 kilometers. Increasing the evacuation area near the No. 2 nuclear power plant from 3 km to 10 km. Japan is relocating 170,000 people from near two nuclear power plants, the IAEA said.
The nuclear power plant leaked. And in the evacuation of residents.
The nuclear power plants in Little Japan are not as anti-human as experts say they are, and they can withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake.
After the leak, everyone's biggest concern is naturally whether it will explode.
Many netizens are looking forward to the nuclear power plant becoming a nuclear bomb and giving little Japan a mushroom cloud.
In response to this idea of schadenfreude, the expert said again that the leak was just an accident and would definitely not explode.
While some experts were still methodically bragging on TV, the hydrogen gas in Unit 1 exploded.
Some netizens looked for photos of the site everywhere on the Internet, wanting to see what the explosion of the nuclear power plant looked like.
The expert, whose face was already a little swollen, said in all seriousness that this was a hydrogen explosion, not a nuclear power plant explosion.
On the 12th, more than 600 people were confirmed dead and more than 10,000 missing.
The death toll confirmed on the 13th rose to more than 1,400.
That evening, a Chinese rescue team also arrived in the disaster area.
On the 14th, another hydrogen explosion occurred in Unit 3.
On the 15th, the emergency situation at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in Japan quickly deteriorated: first, the shell of the No. 2 reactor was damaged in the explosion, causing the cooling water containing radioactive materials to continue to flow out. Immediately afterwards, the No. 4 reactor, which had been calm, caught fire, and a large amount of radioactive material leaked.
Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan immediately issued an order asking residents within 30 kilometers of the nuclear power plant to stay at home and take refuge. It is reported that the Japanese rescue team has been withdrawn from the engine room where the No. 2 reactor of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant is located, which indicates that the thick steel shell of the reactor may be "badly damaged" due to the explosion in the early morning of the 15th, and even to the point of "uncontrollable".
The Japanese government has issued a warning that the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant may be leaking more radioactive material, posing a serious threat to people's health.
A Japanese government spokesman said that although there is no active nuclear fuel in the No. 4 reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, there is a large amount of used fuel rods stored, so rescuers are working hard to extinguish the fire and prevent the "nuclear waste" that also needs to be cooled from continuing to leak serious accidents.
Experts from various countries believe that the situation at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant may take a turn for the worse and become unmanageable. If rescuers do not return to the Fukushima nuclear power plant soon to continue to "de-fever" the four reactors, the core fuel of the reactor will be "completely melted" due to the high temperature. In that case, the hot nuclear fuel, like lava, would break through the steel structure of the reactor's 15-centimeter-thick fuel tank, bringing irreparable nuclear disaster to Japan and neighboring countries.
The Japanese government has also begun to criticize the Japanese government's ineffective response, such as the suspension of the remediation plan when Naoto Kan took a helicopter to inspect the nuclear power plant from the air. (To be continued)
