Black technology starts from the steel suit

232 Chapter 232
Of course, they can comfort themselves: All mankind will benefit anyway. It doesn't matter which country such an outstanding person appears in. It is certainly a good thing to appear in their own country, but it is not unacceptable to appear in other countries.

Anyway, even if it appears in the country, the business fee is just cheaper, and most of the profits will still be earned by the capitalists. So if this is the case, what is the difference between appearing in the country and in a foreign country?

So everyone rushed to YouTube to watch the excitement, and gave others a thumbs up by the way.

You must know whether the nuclear waste buried there is like a time bomb. No one knows which day it will explode. No one can say for sure.

And based on their country's ability to mobilize for disaster relief. Forget it, let's consider self-rescue. Anyway, we can never count on our own soldiers. They are just tools to protect capitalists and suppress riots. They and their own people Actually it doesn't matter much.

So it is foreseeable that if something happens, ordinary people like them will be the first to be unlucky.

And those rich people got on the plane and ran away long ago. Isn't that how it is played in the stories?

Fortunately, thank God, they don't need to have such worries now, and they can dispose of those things right away, so that the nearly 20 tons of high-level radioactive waste will not be like the Bodhidharma chosen on their heads Like the sword of Chris, it makes people fear every day.

You know, nuclear waste is a very scary thing, just look at the Chernobyl incident.

Why is nuclear waste so vicious?
Because it is a heavy metal, it is violently radioactive.Radioactivity is the result of the release of nuclear force, which is 100 times stronger than electromagnetic force. The nuclear force of the atomic nucleus collapses and emits gamma rays, which can be 10 times stronger than ultraviolet light.

When such strong rays irradiate the human body, it only takes a moment to break the chromosomes and DNA of your body, causing cells to be unable to replicate and hematopoiesis to proceed, leading to leukemia.Look at the deformed baby above. It was because his DNA was shattered that he had such a big bump on his butt.

I remember that in 2004, a driver violated the regulations and carried a cobalt radioactive source without protection. In just a few seconds, his body was injured.Later, he gave birth to three children, two of whom died of leukemia, and the third child was also unhealthy.He himself was tortured.

So don't think that nuclear power is clean energy. Nuclear waste is now a huge problem facing mankind.The United States now has 20 tons of high-energy nuclear waste. If all of them are leaked, 8 Earths can be destroyed like Chernobyl.100 million tons of high-energy nuclear waste around the world can destroy 40 earths like Chernobyl.

Nuclear waste is a problem that mankind has to face, and it is the biggest political problem in the world.

Some people naively advocate that nuclear waste should be transported to Africa in the future.Because Africa is at the lower end of our contempt chain.

But in the eyes of Americans, the bottom of their contempt chain is China.

So, in 2010, *** stopped the nuclear waste burial plan in Yucca Mountain, and instead cooperated with China to invest 2000 billion US dollars in JYG to deal with nuclear waste around the world.Later, because of the Fukushima earthquake in Japan, this plan was temporarily shelved.

This is verifiable, the cooperation agreement signed by CNNC and the French company.

So abandon the plan to ship nuclear waste to China and rebury it in Yucca Mountain?
Once it explodes when exposed to water, "Chernobyl is just a piece of cake"?
Yes, that's right, this thing is scarier than ten Chernobyls if it explodes, but he's coming to China now.

The American environmental masterpiece "Living in the Environment" represents the national wisdom of the United States.At that time, the Communist Party had not yet come to power, and American scientists were still hesitating whether to bury nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain?

At that time, everyone knew about the huge difficulties faced by the United States in dealing with nuclear waste.Although everyone sat on the sidelines at the time, after the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, everyone suddenly woke up and understood how difficult it is to deal with nuclear waste.

Therefore, although everyone hates the United States very much, if the United States did not go ahead and suffer the problem of nuclear waste first than us, we would not be able to find the problem and would fall into the gutter.

Nuclear waste is a common plight for all Earthlings.On this issue, it is morally unjustifiable to regard China as the burial place of the world's nuclear waste.

Although it appears to be financially profitable.

Japan has decided to dump more than 120 million tons of toxic waste water into the Pacific Ocean to dilute the radioactivity from the Fukushima nuclear power plant.This act of polluting the ocean caused an uproar and was opposed by most people.

What's interesting is that several western countries have kept silent about this kind of evil, and their attitudes are rather ambiguous. Why is this?Is it really okay for Japan to forcibly discharge nuclear wastewater into the ocean and will not pollute the environment?of course not.In fact, the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and even the Arctic Ocean have long been huge nuclear garbage dumps!

According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), from 1946 to 1993, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and other countries dumped more than 20 tons of solid nuclear waste into the ocean, of which the United States alone At least 19 cubic meters of radioactive material was thrown into the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans!
这还不包括美国1946-1958年间在太平洋28次核爆炸造成的严重污染；苏联向北冰洋倾倒了190万立方米核废料，还将报废核潜艇和16艘潜艇的反应堆扔进北冰洋；美国则有至少6艘核潜艇沉入1700~5500米的海底，有的上面甚至还带着核弹头。

For a long time, nuclear energy was classified as a clean energy source.Indeed, apart from building nuclear power plants, mining, transporting and extracting uranium, nuclear power plants consume very little fossil energy and emit almost no greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the process of generating electricity.From a climate change perspective, nuclear power plants are much better than most coal-fired and oil-fired power plants - without considering nuclear waste disposal.

Before nuclear fusion technology matured, most nuclear power plants around the world used uranium as "fuel."Uranium-235 is an unstable substance. There are 143 neutrons in its nucleus. Because there are too many neutrons, it will decay on its own.When external neutrons are added, the uranium nucleus will also split and release neutrons outward. The new neutrons will bombard other uranium nuclei. This is what we often call a chain reaction.

Uranium releases heat energy in the process of decay and fission. Scientists can generate electricity by controlling the rate of uranium fission and collecting heat energy to heat water, and then use water vapor to drive steam turbines.

For a certain period of time, nuclear energy was once considered to be the cleanest energy in the world. It was once considered by Americans to be the fourth largest energy source after coal, oil, and natural gas, and it was something that set off an energy revolution.

Until the appearance of "spent fuel", people realized that he might not be as beautiful as they saw.

Not all the uranium in the nuclear raw materials will be "burned" clean. When the concentration of uranium-235 in the fuel rods is reduced to a certain value, the heat energy it releases is not enough to boil water, so the nuclear power plant needs to burn the spent fuel in the reactor. The rods are pulled out and replaced with new fuel rods.

In addition to a small amount of uranium-235 left in the spent fuel rods, there are also many new elements randomly produced after uranium fission. Very radioactive.

This is also an important reason why it is difficult to reuse spent fuel. You need to invest huge costs to remove unnecessary materials. The lanthanides will reduce the thermal conductivity of the fuel. This is not like sifting beans from a pile of peanuts. It is difficult to remove impurities.

All countries, especially developed countries, have laws that strictly regulate the disposal of radioactive waste. You cannot just throw them into the garbage dump, but you need to seal them in a barrel after treatment, and then find a safe place to store or bury them. Underground, it will take tens of millions or even billions of years before they become safe (the earth may no longer exist by then), which also costs money.

What is the most economical way?Throw them secretly into the sea. In 1984, Japan dumped a large amount of nuclear waste into the Pacific Ocean. Everyone knows this, but no one talks about it.

25 years later, they just did the same thing, but this time because of the development of the news media, everyone knew about it.

The ocean is very vast, with a total area of ​​3.6 million square kilometers, accounting for 71% of the earth's surface area.Except for a few coastal areas, most of the earth is open sea and no one cares about it.Therefore, some "enterprises" that deal with nuclear waste will load iron barrels containing radioactive materials onto ships and then secretly throw them into the sea. This is a very profitable business.

The iron barrels containing nuclear waste have not undergone corrosion-resistant treatment. If soaked in seawater for a long time, the iron barrels will rust and rot. The radioactive materials contained in them will be exposed to seawater for a long time, causing irreparable damage to seawater and surrounding marine life. .

Most radioactive substances in nuclear waste can be absorbed by living organisms. In particular, cesium-137 and titanium-90 can enter the living body through the same route as nutrients such as potassium and calcium. The free radicals generated when they decay will attack cells. of DNA, causing mutations during its replication.

Japan claims to have removed the dangerous radioactive substances remaining in the nuclear wastewater, leaving only tritium that cannot be removed by technical means.Tritium is not very harmful to living organisms, so it seems to be no problem to dilute the waste water into the sea.A contradiction here is:

The Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant produces 150 tons of sewage every day, which leads to insufficient water storage tanks. Since the water is now "safe" after treatment, why not use the water in the tank to circulate and cool the nuclear reactor?Given that TEPCO has concealed facts many times and has a tradition of lying, we have reason to doubt the safety of its discharge of nuclear wastewater.

But the problem is that we cannot interfere with the other party's actions, and after we know this, it means that the other party has already started doing this.

The United States and Europe have dumped a large amount of nuclear waste into the ocean for many years. The harm these things have caused to marine life and humans indirectly has been obvious to all. However, it is almost impossible to salvage the nuclear waste from the seabed, and there is no Companies are willing to pay sky-high fees.

What Japan is pouring into the Pacific Ocean is sewage, and once it is implemented, it is even more impossible to reverse it.

But right now we can only watch what happens, there is nothing we can do.

Fortunately, things have turned around now, but there is still a problem, that is, how should the export of this technology be carried out?

Whether it is to be promoted along the Silk Road like the third-generation nuclear power technology; or whether to cooperate with developed countries first and give priority to the technologies we need more, these are things that everyone needs to consider repeatedly.

But the good news is that we don't need to be anxious now, what is anxious are those nuclear powers, such as our neighbors, such as our old rivals across the strait.
Those high-ranking Earth OL players in the past, those guys who used to look down on us, now find a way to exchange chips with us that we value.

The disposal of nuclear waste can be said to be imminent, and there is a huge risk if there is no delay, just like you can't predict whether tomorrow or the accident will come first, in case something unexpected happens the next day, Then it's all over.

France was the first to contact China. The two sides have rich experience and a long history and tradition in nuclear power cooperation projects.

This time they brought advanced aircraft technology and industrial software cooperation projects. These two seemingly unrelated cooperation projects, but anyone with a discerning eye knows why the proud French took out the bottom of the box this time. technology.

Of course, this is probably also related to the fact that the French have the least binding force from NATO; when the former world hegemon completely abandoned the Earth OL Arena and even relied on foreign countries for nuclear submarines and nuclear missiles, the proud French stood up for Europe. A piece of sky.

Although the effect is not particularly large, the significance is extraordinary.

Although the Germans cannot develop nuclear weapons, West Germany, with the support of the Americans, their conventional weapons are not bad at all, and there are even many places where foreigners have to rely on their technology.

German production is very famous all over the world. Although they have already reduced the application scale of nuclear power technology this time, due to historical problems, they also need nuclear waste treatment technology.

Moreover, there is still no accurate definition of the use of decay energy. Whether it is a conventional energy or a hybrid energy, we still have no time to define it.

Does that mean they can take advantage of this gap to develop the technology?
We must know that the Germans, who are unrivaled in submarine technology, have no resistance to technologies that can enhance submarine performance.
