In the Edo TV studio, Jonson is talking to the camera with a serious face about the seriousness of the problem:

“…… According to our survey, more than 30,000 square kilometers of area are affected by radioactive fallout, of which nearly 50% of the land area is located, and nearly 200,000 people live in it, and these 200,000 people have been exposed to radiation.

From the air they breathe to drinking water, local vegetables, snacks, etc., they are all polluted to varying degrees, and the marine pollution is even more serious, and marine fish with radioactive substances in their bodies will also spread pollutants after entering the human body.

According to the direction of the currents, Edo, with a population of 37 million, is also affected, and the surrounding offshore waters have been polluted by radioactive water bodies for the past few years! ”

The hostess next to him was already dumbfounded, before the show started, the TV station only said that the IAEA experts would take up a little time to say a few words, but I didn't expect it to be such a hot content - there was no such thing in the dialogue script given in advance!

The key is now live TV, and countless people are watching the show in front of the TV, which means that the whole island knows about it!

But Jonson didn't mean to stop, and continued with a straight face:

"The problem of pollution on the island is not limited to the local ecological disaster, but also affects more than 4 billion people in the entire western Pacific Ocean, and has truly become a global problem.

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will decide to list the pollution problem of Fudao as the highest level project, and mobilize the strength of international organizations to solve it, which is responsible not only for the people of the island countries, but also for all mankind, and we will definitely be responsible to the end! ”

……

At the sushi restaurant on the street, Academician Zhou and Tomarsov watched the TV in the restaurant while eating and observed the reactions of the diners.

It's not a high-end restaurant, so it's crowded and confusing, and a lot of people came over as early as the keyword "nuclear contamination" and listened to Jones's scary analysis.

Many people subconsciously put down the rice balls in their hands when they heard this, after all, the seaweed inside was also caught in Edo Bay.

After the news broadcast ended, the hostesses on the TV stammered a little, and the microscopic people woke up like a dream and dispersed, rushing to one place in unison.

Tomarsov took the rest of the sushi in one bite and looked at Academician Zhou suspiciously:

"Davarishi, where are they going?"

"This ...... I think it's probably going to stock up on drinking water or rice or something. ”

Academician Zhou is very familiar with this scene, his mother-in-law went to the supermarket a few years ago to carry more than 100 bags of salt and nearly half a ton of rice, and these stocks are still at home.

Wait, Jonsson's news will definitely spread to China in a short time, and I won't stock up on another batch!

After hearing this explanation, Tomarsov just shrugged his shoulders and asked the boss to continue adding vegetables, as Maozi in the extremely cold land of the north, they were used to storing a lot of food.

The citizens of Edo were worried about the problem with the sushi, but they knew the truth.

Edo Bay definitely had an impact, but the sewage brought by the ocean currents was not so exaggerated, and besides, he still had a geiger in his pocket, which didn't make a sound, and he could eat it.

While waiting for the stingy island cooks to serve the food, Tomarsov stopped talking about the nuclear power plant.

"Zhou, what do you think should be done with the core? The yield of a ground-penetrating warhead is a bit difficult to control. ”

Academician Zhou shook his head, he was now considering whether to call home to stop his mother-in-law from hoarding supplies again.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tomarsov simply lowered his head and used the memo on his mobile phone to make notes, thinking about the formulation of specific plans.

The so-called 15 million tons equivalent air explosion mentioned yesterday - of course, it scared Kobayakawa, and now this matter has been tightly sealed and not leaked out, and they have decided to cover it up again and release it.

The Fukushima accident is not so simple, first of all, we must understand the whole story of the accident:

In 2011, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck the sea and destroyed the transmission towers of the Toshima Daiichi nuclear power plant, causing the reactor's cooling circuit to disconnect.

The plant uses second-generation boiling water reactor technology, with only one cooling circuit for the six reactors, and units 1-3 were in operation at the time, and units 4-6 were shut down for maintenance, and the temperature in the reactors rose rapidly after the loss of cooling.

If left unchecked, the increasingly hot core will burn through the surrounding environment and sink underground, with the possibility of explosion.

This is similar to the problem of the Chernobyl accident, which requires the immediate removal of the fuel rods to stop the reaction, and the large amount of sand and gravel to fill the pile, and after confirming that there is no problem, the surface radiation problem can be treated.

At that time, the engineers of the power company suggested that a large amount of boron-containing seawater be injected into the reactor to cool down, but the Edo Electric Power Company hesitated for more than 20 hours, and this hesitation went wrong.

Reactors 1, 2 and 3 exploded in the next three days, and Reactor 4 was exposed to the air and emitted huge amounts of pollution to the surface.

Then, outrageously, the Edo Electric Power Company hesitated and delayed for more than a month, waiting for all the pressure vessels of the unit to be scrapped before making up its mind to seal the pile, which greatly increased the pollution level due to human factors.

Until now, cores 1 and 2 have been reactive, generating heat and pollution, and are not expected to stop until 30 years later.

On the one hand, the nuclear sewage is the seawater that was used to inject into the reactor core, and the other is the contaminated groundwater, which has actually seeped out a lot and cannot be treated at all.

So the question is, why is Edo Electric Power Company hesitating?

This has to mention one of the products of uranium fission: plutonium, the fission raw material of the "fat man".

Jiangdian Company is reluctant to use this plutonium, and in the past, they went to the world to buy nuclear waste, of course, not to be a good person, but to obtain this substance.

The loss of the pile is not only money, but more importantly, the loss of a large source of plutonium.

For some covert purposes, this led to the pollution eventually developing to the point where it could not have been controlled, otherwise there would have been so many problems when the action was more decisive.

It was only after the field visit that the expert team discovered that the problem was much more serious than they had advertised, and although it was not as exaggerated as Jones said, it was absolutely necessary for the air blast to eliminate the radiation.

Three-phase bombs cannot be used, and "clean" hydrogen bombs with a fusion power of more than 3 million tons must be used, but the power is too great, and the cap of 10 million tons is not good, so the requirements for the hydrogen bomb itself are really not low, and the yield of the implosion core must be controlled, otherwise it will aggravate pollution.

The second is the two cores that are still burning, and the best way is to destroy them with a ground-penetrating nuclear warhead, which must also be a hydrogen bomb.

But this is troublesome, the power of the ground-penetrating bomb is too great, it will affect the surrounding environment, and if it is too small, it will not play a neutralizing role, and the experts have exchanged a general understanding that there are no ready-made specifications that can be used now.

In fact, the "nuclear control" program may consume one nearly 10 million tons of equivalent air-burst bombs and two to three ground-penetrating bombs, and the cost of re-producing and developing nuclear transformation is really not low, and the manpower and material resources consumed are definitely not a small number.

Belt experts also suggested putting a 500,000 tons equivalent test effect first, which is readily available.

The thought of being involved in both the lunar explosion and the remediation of pollution on the ground made Tomarsov feel a heavy pressure.
