Fukushima: the impact of the catastrophe today

It will be almost 5 years since March 11, 2011 a series of failures occurred in the reactors of the central Fukushima of Japan, following an earthquake and a subsequent tsunami.

As explained by the authorities, after the earthquake, reactors 1, 2 and 3 automatically shut down, and with them, the electricity, however, with the arrival of the tsunami at 3:41 p.m., The entire plant was turned off, starting the subsequent disaster: fires, overheating, and the beginning of the fusion of the core in three reactors.

The consequences were unstoppable: the level of iodine Radioactive in the immediate vicinity of the sea surrounding the plant was 1,850 times higher than allowed , soon reaching the running water of large cities like Tokyo.

The enemy silent has been moving forward since then , but we have to keep in mind that Japan is a very tight and reserve power ada, who has been communicating data with caution and caution, to this, we must add the catastrophic disaster caused by the tsunami itself, and internal economic problems where events such as what happened in Fukushima, make them vulnerable in the eyes of the world.

So...what is the current situation of the Fukushima plant? Today in Lifestyle we explain it to you.

Fukushima: the impact of the catastrophe today

We are sure that you have seen the odd image related to the disaster of the Japanese plant.Not long ago, images of a great fish came out that, as the note explained, showed the amazing mutations that the accident was causing at sea.Well, we have to be very careful with all the information that comes to us. The fish that appeared in the news was actually a wolffish, a fabulous animal captured by Hiroshi Hirasaka, and later published on Twitter.

Fasciation, an alteration that can occur due to a mutation caused by an insect, bacteria or chemical agents.

The same thing happened with some supposed "mutant daisies." Posted through twitter by San Kaido, was soon used as an example of what was happening on the coasts of Japan.Now, for biologists, these images are nothing more than a process called fasciation.While it is true that it originates from a genetic mutation, This fact may be due not only to a chemical agent, but also to insects or parasites.With all this we mean, we must be very cautious and cautious with the information received.

Fukushima: the impact of the catastrophe today

In the network we have for example a interesting page called summaries from Fukushima where continuous updates on the subject appear and that are very interesting, and where the data are usually contrasted.Among the data to be taken into account would be the following:

  • According to us experts explain, and as published in Fukushima Today, the disaster of the Japanese plant is of the least understood and unpredictable.It is thought that 80% of the radiation is poured into the ocean, the other 20% remains in the atmosphere.

  • This implies that many animals that pass They will be affected by their coasts.We can see whale deaths or whale calves that are killed on other countries' coasts without our understanding of the reason, without understanding that perhaps, the origin is in Fukushima. The ocean is the most affected as a result of the disaster.
  • A new species of shrimp , the Alpheus ikedosoma, has been discovered The experts study whether it is a genetic mutation.
  • In 2011, 43 people, all of the plant's operators, were affected by the disaster.They almost evacuated 45,000 people, and in this area, due to the tsunami, some died 16,000 people. Now, the real drama is also focused on today and the high index of Suicides in Fukushima Prefecture and its surroundings.Devastation, diseases such as cancer and hopelessness accentuate this drama.
  • A study reveals that 5, 3% of Japanese vegetables, and shellfish that arrive in Russia, contain radioactive material.
  • The radiation present in the soil, atmosphere and in the ocean, indicates that in the Currently, and in the coming years, a very high number of cancer diagnoses will be produced.

Fukushima: the impact of the catastrophe today

This year will be 5 years of the disaster , and leaks continue to occur , especially to the ocean, to that nature reserve where in some way, it affects us all, and it hurts us all to see the possible damage that radiation can also cause to marine animals.We will be awaiting more data to share with you.Yes, we invite you to discover what is happening in Chernobyl.
