Volume 1: Chengguan's Strategies for the Americas 79. Fukushima Nuclear Waste Disposal Plan
W Tokyo, Ikebukuro North Exit Chinatown
No matter how the world changes and turbulence, the ordinary people in the market still live their ordinary lives day after day.
As the days passed, the traces left by the riots on the Chinatown at the north exit of Ikebukuro have gradually dissipated over time, and the wreckage of motorcycles and cars that once scattered on the streets has been dragged away. The fortified barricades that once blocked the road were also demolished by its builders. The shops and buildings that were once set on fire are now being renovated one by one. Chinatown shops selling Lanzhou ramen, Shandong baked cakes, Sichuan hot and sour soup, Guilin rice noodles and delicious duck neck, as well as Xinjiang lamb skewers with always thick smoke, have also resumed business.
Under the morning sun, Song Xiaojun, who was wearing sportswear, covered his mouth and yawned, while pulling up the roller shutter of his "Shaxian Snack".
Although after this incident, he, the lurker stationed in Japan, is completely exposed, and it is estimated that he will be transferred back to China in a few days. However, before the order was sent above, Song Xiaojun, who was already very affectionate about this place, still planned to open the snack bar to Zuihou.
Then, in the morning sun, the squinting boss Song Xiaojun saw red confetti scattered in front of the long-idle business building diagonally opposite - that was the traces left on the street after the firecrackers were set off yesterday to celebrate the official opening of the place.
At the entrance to the parking lot attached downstairs, a vermilion torii gate has recently been erected that has not yet been painted, and a plaque hangs on the horizontal bar. The four Chinese characters of "Sanae Shrine" in the book seem to be very Chinese-style.
However, the pillars on both sides of the torii gate are not couplets, but two other names of the place written on the left - "Ikebukuro Office of the Japan Nuclear Disaster Prevention and Management Corporation" on the left, and "Ikebukuro North Exit Management Center of the Metropolitan Management Brigade in Japan" on the right......
At this moment, although the streets are already full of bustling pedestrians and vehicles. But a slender figure that was quite abrupt and eye-catching still firmly attracted Song Xiaojun's attention, and the people passing by and the owner of the store around him. From time to time, I also look in that direction with curiosity.
- Small white sleeves, long and wide cuffs with a red stripe tattooed on them, and a wide hakama underneath. The waistband is cinched high below the bust line. Although the whole outfit should be a design that highlights the breasts, it is a pity that the girl's own breasts are not well developed.
Against the backdrop of this white dress and red dress, the girl's white skin looks even more dazzling.
In Japan, women dressed like this are often called "shrine maidens", that is, goddess officials who serve the gods of Japan.
At this time, the shrine maiden was holding a long broom, rustling away the firecracker confetti in front of the red torii.
ββ¦β¦ Sanae-sanae, good morning! You look energetic today! β
Boss Song Xiaojun walked out of the store with a smile. Lady Sanae Rika, who was standing under the torii, waved her hand and said hello, "...... It was really lively last night! It's past one o'clock in the morning and still singing and tap-dancing, and I can hear it across the street......"
ββ¦β¦ Ahh......h Everyone drank a lot of soju last night, and they were a little overexcited. That's why it made a lot of noise......"
Hearing this, Sanae Rika stopped sweeping the floor, and leaned slightly with her broom in embarrassment, "...... Looks like it's affecting your rest...... I'm sorry to have caused you any trouble! β
ββ¦β¦ Haha, where, where. It's okay, it's not your fault! Song Xiaojun smiled and waved his hand, while glancing at the window upstairs that had just been pushed open, "...... What do you think? As usual this morning, let me make a few fried dumplings, xiao long bao and fried rice to be delivered? β
ββ¦β¦ That's not necessary, Mr. Song! Thank you very much for your concern. Sanae Rika politely bowed slightly again, and said generously, "...... My mom once told me that it's best not to eat anything too greasy when you're drunk. So this morning, I cooked a lighter home-cooked meal for them...... So you don't have to bother with breakfast today. β
ββ¦β¦ Oh, that's right! Sanae-sama is really very considerate! In the future, I will definitely be able to become a good wife with a great and Nadeshiko style! Song Hyojun snorted and continued to laugh and tease the witch, while not forgetting to clean up the store in the morning.
ββ¦β¦ Mr. Song, you are so awarded, people will be embarrassed! Miss Miko rolled her finger shyly......
ββββββββββββββββββββ
At the same time, in this business building, which is a religious facility (shrine), a commercial facility (company), and a state violence agency (chengguan station), several drunks who had been drinking all night last night have just stumbled out of various strange places such as toilets, under tables, on sofas, and in closets, rubbing their sleepy eyes while preparing breakfast at the table.
ββ¦β¦ Well, after a hangover, it's more comfortable to eat Japanese-style breakfast! It's Sanae-chan's craft! Looks so good! β
The previous Prime Minister of Japan, the current Minister in charge of the primary accident (nuclear disaster), the retired AKB middle two sick girl idol singer, the owner of the evil king True Eye, Japan's strongest magical girl Kotori Mayo, was sitting at the table with a happy face, looking at the steaming Japanese breakfast in front of him with an intoxicated look, and then he couldn't wait to move his chopsticks.
- The food on the table, although it does not look like a luxurious high-end dish, is very carefully crafted and full of warmthβa small black porcelain bowl filled with freshly cooked rice that looks like it is blooming. The miso soup is made of pork, tofu, and kelp, and seasoned green onions. The light blue dish is filled with delicious cod fillets and boiled deer tails, which are common in Japanese breakfast. In addition, there is also tofu. A cold vegetable salad consisting of peas, carrots and konjac, topped with a careful layer of white sesame seeds that add beauty and nutrition. The meat dish is grilled saury with small chili peppers and eggplant, and you can smell the enticing aroma from afar.
Next is the chawanshi steamed, which is a Japanese-style stewed egg that women and children like to eat, but there are obviously a lot of good ingredients added to it, and the moment the lid is opened. You can see the tender and smooth shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and ham slices. Zuihou also has a plate of assorted Japanese pickles made with turnips, wasabi, shiso, and radish, which not only match the colors beautifully, but also taste refreshing.
Although it was just breakfast. But the food prepared for everyone, and there are also a lot of seven or eight dishes, which is really very exquisite.
- Although the number of each dish is pitifully small. It makes people wonder if it's for cats......
ββ¦β¦ Yo! Today's breakfast is really exquisite! It's a pity that I drank too much yesterday, and now I really can't eat anything......"
Wang Qiu, who woke up this morning and felt bitter and a splitting headache in his mouth, sat crookedly at the dining table, pouring freshly brewed haode strong tea into his mouth, while counting the empty bottles and empty packaging boxes scattered on the floor, "...... Whiskey, vodka, dry red wine, old white dry, Ryukyu awamori, Satsuma shochu, ...... Oh my God, a whole twelve cases of beer alone! These Russian hairs can really drink!! β
- The floor beside him was littered with beer cans, empty wine bottles, pizza boxes, lunch boxes, snack bags, and drunks who were still snoring...... It's a shame that everyone who can come to Sanae Shrine to drink this time is a relatively disciplined guy. Otherwise, God knows if you will see a torn condom, a couch soaked with some secretions, a small blue pill spilled on the floor, a syringe or something......
There is no way, in order to celebrate the establishment of Sanae Shrine and the Ikebukuro Office of the Japan Atomic Energy Disaster Prevention and Treatment Company and the Ikebukuro North Exit Management Center of the Urban Management Brigade in Japan. In addition to welcoming Xue Ji Dailan and Senior Sister Ma Tong from China to come for reinforcements, Wang Qiu also made an exception last night and drank a few more glasses.
Right now, Xue Ji Dailan, who had just arrived by plane from China, was curled up like a cat, leaning on a few cushions, half-lying and half-lying on the corner of the wall. Snoring quietly. And Senior Sister Ma Tong hugged the political commissar Sonya, who was also hangover and unconscious, and squeezed and "folded" on the sofa with her limbs intertwined, saliva flowed out, and a large piece of Sonya's chest was wet.
Therefore, at this time, the only people who can sit at the breakfast table soberly are Xiaotori You Zhenbai, Comrade Maimaiti, classmate Wang Qiu, Captain Cai Rong, plus Sister Balalaika, who said that she had a stomachache and didn't drink much last night. Even Wang Qiu's sister Wang Yao was still lying on a sofa at this time, drunk and unconscious...... Well, there's also Miss Sanae Rika Shrine Maiden, who got up early in the morning to make this meal, and is currently cleaning downstairs.
ββ¦β¦ The pork soup is really well cooked, although the bowl is a little too small. β
Comrade Maimaiti, who was dark-skinned and wore a little white hat, first quickly ate the side dishes on the plate, and then drank the whole bowl of miso soup in just one big gulp, and then smacked his lips and said that although there was pork in this soup, Comrade Maimaiti, who was a staunch believer in science and an atheist, and had sworn under the banner of the Scythe and Hammer Party, never saw the need to abide by the ancient dogma of that decadent religion.
ββ¦β¦ I've finished drinking the wine to celebrate the opening, and I've almost finished breakfast, so it seems that it's time to get down to business! β
While wiping his mouth with a napkin, he took out his notebook from his arms and flipped through the information recorded in it, "...... Miss Kotoriyu, the first major business of the Japan Atomic Energy Disaster Prevention and Treatment Company, which was established by your family consortium, the Kotoriyu Foundation, is a tripartite cooperation between China, Japan and Russia, and the follow-up treatment of the reactor wreckage of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is in fact the main purpose of the company's establishment.
At present, several reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant have been shut down and mothballed, the damaged and fire-related reactors have been initially contained, and the land contaminated by radioactive dust is currently being cleared. However, it is not yet known what to do with the large amount of nuclear waste and spent fuel accumulated on the site, in addition to a total of tens of thousands of tons of building materials that have been heavily contaminated by nuclear radiation. β
Speaking of this, Maimaiti looked up at the little bird You Zhenbai. ββ¦β¦ Miss Birdie, I wonder how you plan to solve this problem? β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
As a by-product of the development of the atomic energy industry, there are options for the disposal of used nuclear waste in nuclear reactors, or spent fuel β that is, nuclear fuel in a nuclear reactor that has reached the design discharge level and must be discharged from the reactor and is no longer used in the reactor β as well as the disposal of nuclear warheads that are overdue for scrapping. It has always been one of the major troubles that plague many "nuclear states".
Currently, due to the limitations of the level of science jishu, nuclear waste. In other words, the follow-up of spent fuel is still a rather money-burning job.
The so-called disposal of spent fuel is actually the extraction of useful components from commercial spent fuel. Separation of high-intensity radioactive waste β about 95% uranium and 1% plutonium in the freshly discharged spent fuel β can be recycled after being separated from the spent fuel, with only about 4% of the remaining fission products buried in deep storage. By this standard, one of the first atomic bombs exploded by the United States in 1945 was made from plutonium-239 extracted from spent fuel (natural uranium).
Therefore, it is not difficult to deal with the jishu of spent fuel, which the United States initially mastered through the Manhattan Project in 1945, but the problem is that the cost is not low at all. In order to accumulate enough enriched uranium and enriched plutonium to build three atomic bombs, the Manhattan Project spent 14,000 tons of silver on the silver coils of the electromagnetic separation plant alone (of course). The silver was later dismantled and recycled), costing $20 billion ($20 billion in 1945!). That's a lot! At that time, except for the United States, which had deep pockets, no other country could afford such a huge expense!
Even after decades of progress in the development of various jishu, in the early 21st century. The price of disposing of spent fuel is still as high as US$1 million per tonne, and only France can meet this standard, and the price of self-processing nuclear waste is even higher in other countries due to the lack of economies of scale and the lack of related jishu accumulation β so both Japan and Germany have shipped nuclear waste to France to deal with it in order to save money. And the Americans rely on their own territory, and there are many no-man's land. Since 1978, it has announced that the nuclear fuel cycle will be stopped, and all spent fuel will be stored directly in desert uninhabited areas......
According to the international average, one million kilowatt reactor produces about 25 tons of spent fuel every year. In Japan, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant alone generates 47 megawatts of electricity...... So the amount of spent fuel produced each year is not a small number, and even the remaining 4% of unusable fission products after disposal have accumulated over the decades to a staggering nearly 1,000 tons.
However, Japan is a small, densely populated land area that is not as vast as the United States, where uninhabited deserts can be used as a radiation dump...... TEPCO, which manages these nuclear power plants, has gone to great lengths to deal with these dangerous residues of the nuclear industry, even trying to spend money to buy no-man's-land deserts in Mongolia and Australia to build nuclear waste landfills in order to get rid of these "hot potatoes".
But the problem is that this "radioactive garbage" is so hot that Australia and Mongolia are forced by public pressure to refuse to accept even if the Japanese side is willing to post more money, not to mention that TEPCO has been losing money on its books year after year, and it can't actually get much money...... In the spirit of an ostrich that is a day by day, TEPCO has no choice but to pile up the spent fuel and enriched nuclear waste in the Fukushima radiation zone - this no-man's land artificially created on the map of Japan due to TEPCO's previous mistakes, and then nothing will be done.
Then there is the thrilling second Fukushima nuclear crisis and the super nuclear leak that nearly destroyed half of Japan......
Then, after the situation has calmed down, this hot potato has been dumped on the head of the minister in charge of the original accident (nuclear disaster) of Kotori Yumashiro, and Kotori Yuki has made the disposal of these super dangerous goods, which threaten half of Japan, the first business of the newly established Japan Nuclear Disaster Prevention and Treatment Company - and probably the only business before the company collapses.
But the problem is that the Abilities and Russian Werewolves gathered here, although they are not afraid of nuclear radiation because of their abilities or mutations, have no way to make nuclear waste harmless - even magicians can't do it!
Even if the spent fuel is transported thousands of miles to France for disposal, there is still no place to bury the unusable 4% of the fission products left after the disposal is completed - so there is a lot of confusion about what Mashiro Kotori plans to do with the leaked high-radiation nuclear fuel and nuclear waste...... Although this middle two disease evil eye Lori looks like she has a confident look......
ββ¦β¦ Kukukuku, can't you even think of such a simple thing? What mortal wisdom! β
When Xiao Niao You Zhenbai heard this, he put down the rice bowl in his hand, crossed his hands on the lower end of the bridge of his nose, and put on a seemingly unfathomable appearance, but in fact he had an attack on the second disease, "...... Don't just look at things through the eyes of ordinary people! Don't forget that we're time travelers - just find any wormholes and let Mr. Wang Qiu teleport all these nuclear wastes to the other world, and then there will be no trouble? "Your support is my biggest motivation. m
