Passage1

Tokyo must keep in mind wastewater dumping is global issue

The Japanese government said the 1.25 million metric tons of contaminated water it will release into

the Pacific Ocean over the next 30 years or so will be diluted more than 100 times using seawater. It said

this will ensure that the tritium in the water will be one-fortieth of the national drinking water standard, or

one-seventh of the World Health Organization's standard.

But this statement needs a transparent scientific basis. If dilution is safe and easy, people may wonder

why Japan would wait until now to deal with it.

Japan announced on Tuesday the decision to dump the contaminated water from the tsunami-crippled

Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, with releases to begin in two years.

The decision has been met with strong skepticism and opposition at home and abroad. The main

reason is that Japan's decision is not based on technological progress regarding nuclear wastewater

treatment, but rather because its existing storage capacity for nuclear wastewater could last for less than

two years. Another reason is that the Japanese government plans to start decommissioning the Fukushima

Daiichi nuclear power plant in two years.

The discharge of radioactive water is closely related to the quantity of nuclear radiation and the kind

of nuclear radiation material it contains. There is great uncertainty about the speed, scope and impact of its

diffusion and dilution, but one thing is sure: the wastewater will move a large distance with ocean currents

and marine organisms, which may directly or indirectly affect the surrounding countries and the whole

marine ecosystem.

The US State Department issued a statement on its website after the Japanese government officially

announced the decision, expressing understanding and disguised support. However, the radioactive water

that will pour into the sea from Fukushima will eventually reach US shores across the Pacific Ocean. The

extent of its impact remains to be determined by scientific research.

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea stipulates that "states have the obligation to

protect and preserve the marine environment", and urged that all necessary measures be taken to avoid

cross-border environmental disasters. The convention also says that when a state becomes aware of

imminent danger to the marine environment, "it shall immediately notify other states it deems likely to be

affected by such damage", as well as relevant international organizations.

Therefore, Japan must consider the harm to the marine environment, food safety and human health

caused by the discharge of a large amount of nuclear wastewater containing radioactive substances such as

tritium, in order to avoid man-made marine environmental disasters. It should report the process and results

of treatment in an open, transparent and scientific manner and accept the third-party supervision of

international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency and relevant countries, so that

the world can know whether the radioactivity of the water from Fukushima has been reduced to a safe

level.

1. How much does Japan pour the contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean every year on average

according to the passage?

A. 100 metric tons

B. 300000 metric tons

C. about 1,250,000 metric tons

D. about 40,000 metric tons

2. Why are many countries against the decision made by Japan?

A. because it may influence the countries around

B. because it probably destroys the whole marine ecosystem.

C. because it may do harm to food safety and human health

D. because it may reduce the harm of radioactivity of the waste water

3. The word “relevant”in the last sentence means______

A. nearby B. beloved

C. strong D. involved
