【核污水排海】學者指稀釋不可完全消除輻射物質 或需長期監察附近水域
24/08/2023
In a TV report on Japan releasing treated radioactive wastewater into the ocean, Prof. Julien DE TROULLIOUD DE LANVERSIN, Assistant Professor of the Division of Public Policy (PPOL), commented on alternative methods for handling the wastewater, such as evaporation into the atmosphere or burial in the ground. He said that radioactive substances could disperse into the air, and tritium could potentially reach densely populated regions in Japan, China, and South Korea. If the wastewater is buried underground, there is a risk of leakage in the event of an earthquake, which could lead to the contamination of the entire region's land.
