It is imperative that I address the issue of nuclear pollution flowing into the ocean.
What is the duration of this leak?
What will be the extent of its spread?
For how long will our oceans suffer from the damage? Do you recall last year’s oil leak?
If we fail to cease these leaks, it won’t just be marine life at risk…it will also endanger our very lives.
This latest disaster should serve as a lesson to abandon nuclear energy and halt the construction of new reactors. The use of hazardous minerals with long life spans, which we cannot safely dispose of, needs to be eradicated.
Immediately, all major nations ought to allocate resources to contain the leak in Japan. It must not continue to inflict harm upon our oceans.
When the Chernobyl disaster released radiation into the atmosphere, it led to the contamination of livestock even as far as Wales. Can you fathom how far the contamination might reach from Japan following this recent disaster? Be cautious, Australia and the USA, when consuming tuna and seafood.
It is time to unite and combine global expertise on nuclear energy, while also providing support to those affected in Japan.
