Nuclear power is hotter than ever

Hiroshi Hayashi, Minister of Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Incident of Japan, told a Fukushima nuclear accident at a press conference recently that nuclear fuel has cooled steadily. After confirming that appropriate measures for the medium-term stability have been implemented, the Fukushima nuclear accident treatment schedule lasting four months The table "The second stage will be declared to be completed." He emphasized that this goal may be completed within the year. The Japanese government and Tepco plan to start taking out the fuel from the spent fuel pool within two years after the “second phase” is over, and strive to take out the fuel that melts in the reactor within 10 years.

It has been eight months since the nuclear accident in Fukushima, Japan. Today, people no longer suspect that this is the worst nuclear accident in the past 25 years. A large amount of data and information, including government-updated nuclear radiation monitoring data, are not able to give the Japanese people peace of mind. There is no uniform statement about the danger level of nuclear radiation and the social risks it brings. This made the Japanese people who were already dissatisfied with the government's response to the Fukushima nuclear leak accident more anxious and angry.

The lack of experience in dealing with nuclear accidents is not only a matter for the Japanese government. What is certain is that with the aging of a large number of nuclear power plants and the launch of a large number of new nuclear power plant projects, it is lucky that such accidents will not happen again. They are undoubtedly self-deception.

However, how to deal with the nuclear power industry, there has been a polarized view. On the one hand, some people think that people's fear of nuclear power is overblown. Delaying or even abandoning the development of the nuclear power industry will not be conducive to coping with the economic crisis, climate change and environmental pollution. On the other hand, many people in the industry have denounced the nuclear power industry and government officials for their safety.

After the Fukushima nuclear accident, the surrounding residents’ exposure to radiation became the focus of attention. Japanese authorities at that time raised the radiation tolerance of the schools around Fukushima to 20 millisieverts a year, which is equivalent to 20 times before the 3·11 earthquake and tsunami triggered the nuclear crisis. Such standards have been met with public dissatisfaction and protests. However, the Japanese government contends that such nuclear safety standards are acceptable, and that this standard is lowered to ensure that the education of thousands of children in Fukushima Prefecture is not affected by the nuclear crisis.

What kind of standards can guarantee that the human body will not be affected by nuclear radiation? Scientists are still arguing. At present, the internationally recognized safety standards for nuclear radiation are no more than 1 millisievert per year. However, most people believe that even low-level radiation can cause some harm to the human body even if it is not scientifically verified.

Nuclear safety experts from the French government have stated that the standard of 20 millisieverts a year is too high for the school and that it should be reduced to 10 millisieverts a year. However, stricter nuclear safety standards mean that more local people must be evacuated. This is very difficult for the Japanese government.

Whether evacuated or not, the nerves of the local people have become very sensitive and fragile. In the face of nuclear radiation, which can cause deadly harm to the human body in a silent manner, anyone in the heart will have fear.

Such an accident is undoubtedly a disaster to the Japanese government and local people, but nuclear power has received more attention and triggered a global discussion. Although most of the people are opposed to nuclear power, there are not many countries that have explicitly expressed their refusal to use nuclear power from the government level. Most countries still indicated that they would continue to develop nuclear power, including many countries that had never been involved in this field before. Nuclear power has become a hot topic more than ever before, and such attention and discussion will surely outweigh the disadvantages of an industry.

Our Microwave Sensor provides automatic control of lighting loads. As microwaeve radiation penetrates plastic and glass, This sensor is suitable for mounting inside a luminarie and for ceiling-mounted applications. When movement is detected, The load switches on automatically; when the area is no longer occupied, the load switches off automatically after an adjustable time-out period.
