Njulaina - Sebuah gunung berapi Jepun tlh menafikan awal yg
2 reaktor nuklear yang ditempatkan dekat sarang aktiviti gunung berapi adalah
selamat, menya-takan bahawa ia adalah mustahil untuk meramalkan letusan tepat di
luar jangka masa beberapa hari.
Sendai loji kuasa nuklear di selatan Jepun dengan
mudah boleh menjadi sumber bencana nasional harus letusan kawah berlangsung di
salah satu gunung berapi sekitar berpose ancaman serta merta kepada laman web
ini, Toshitsugu Fujii, ketua panel kerajaan ditugaskan pada gunung berapi ramalan
letusan pada taklimat media pada hari Jumaat.
"Adalah tidak mungkin untuk meramalkan letusan
sejak 30 hingga 40 tahun akan datang," kata Fujii. "Tahap diramal
sangat terbatas." Beliau menambah bahawa ramalan boleh berlaku hanya dalam
waktu jam atau hari.
Kenyataan beliau bercanggah dengan orang-orang dari
pengawal selia nuklear yang bulan lalu berkata bahawa kedua-dua reaktor nuklear
Sendai telah berfungsi dalam peraturan-peraturan keselamatan nuklear diletakkan
di tengah-tengah tahun 2011 bencana Fukushima.
Mereka menyatakan bahawa tidak akan ada letupan dalam tempoh 30 tahun
akan datang - yang apabila reaktor Sendai sampai ke akhir hayatnya.
Rancangan Jepun untuk memulakan semula reaktor
nuklear Sendai tidak akan ter-pengaruh oleh letusan gunung berapi Gunung Ontake,
kerajaan memberi jaminan pada akhir September, apabila 30 orang terbunuh dan
berpuluh-puluh yang cedera.
"Ini adalah satu [letusan] stim yang didorong
dan ia telah berkata adalah amat sukar untuk meramalkan," kata Ketua
Setiausaha Kabinet Yoshihide Suga pada sidang akhbar sejurus selepas itu.
Justru kurangnya kebolehramalan yang membim-bangkan. Penentang restart nuklear
berkumpul lama selepas itu untuk menunjuk-kan terhadapnya.
"Tiada siapa yang tahu apabila bencana alam,
termasuk gempa bumi dan tsunami akan menyerang. Hakikat bahawa mereka tidak
boleh meramalkan letusan Gunung Ontake menyoroti bahawa "satu agenda,
Yoshitaka Mukohara, kepada Reuters.
Abu berat letusan berikut akan membuat tumbuhan yang sukar untuk mencapai
dan akan memberi kesan kepada Tokyo serta kawasan sekitarnya.
Perdana Menteri Shinzo Abe sedang mencari untuk
memulakan semula reaktor kedua-dua bersama-sama dengan mana-mana daerah yang
lain 46 yang mungkin dianggap selamat kuasa nuklear dianggap kunci kepada pemulihan
ekonomi Jepun.
Malah sebelum bencana September, kebangkitan nuklear
Jepun telah menyebab-kan kemarahan rakyat yang tidak puas. Kebimbangan nuklear
kekal kukuh di Jepun sejak bencana Fukushima terbukti menjadi sejarah terburuk yang
ke-2 di selepas Chernobyl, dgn proses pembongkaran yg diperkirakan akan
berlangsung selama bertahun-tahun yang akan datang.
ACTIVE Volcanoes Near
JAPAN Nuclear REACTOR
are Safety threat – PANEL . . .
A Japanese volcanologist has refuted early claims
that two nuclear reactors stationed near a hotbed of volcanic activity were
safe, stating that it is impossible to predict an eruption accurately outside
the time span of a few days.
The Sendai nuclear power plant in southern Japan
could quite easily be the source of a national disaster should a cauldron
eruption take place at one of the surrounding volcanoes posing an immediate
threat to the site, Toshitsugu Fujii, head of a government-commissioned panel
on volcanic eruption prediction told a press briefing on Friday.
“It is simply impossible to predict an eruption over
the next 30 to 40 years,” Fujii said. “The level of predictability is extremely
limited.” He added that prediction can happen only in the space of hours or
days.
His statements contradict those of nuclear
regulators who last month said that the two Sendai nuclear reactors were
functioning within the nuclear safety regulations laid out in the wake of the
2011 Fukushima disaster.
They stated that there would be no eruption within the next 30 years –
which is when the Sendai reactors reach the end of their lives.
Japan’s plans to restart the Sendai nuclear reactor
won’t be affected by the volcanic eruption of Mt. Ontake, the government
reassured at the end of September, when 30 people were killed and dozens
injured.
“This was a steam-driven [eruption] and it has been
said it was extremely difficult to predict,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide
Suga told a news conference shortly afterwards. It is precisely this lack of
predictability which is a cause for concern. Opponents of the nuclear restart
gathered shortly afterwards to demonstrate against it.
“No one knows when natural disasters, including
earthquakes and tsunamis will strike. The fact that they could not predict the
Mount Ontake eruption highlights that,” one organizer, Yoshitaka Mukohara, told
Reuters.
Heavy ash following eruption would make the plant difficult to reach and
would impact Tokyo as well as the surrounding area.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is looking to restart both
reactors along with any of the county’s other 46 which might be deemed safe as
nuclear power is deemed key to Japanese economic recovery.
Even before the September disaster, Japanese nuclear
revival was incurring the wrath of disgruntled citizens. Nuclear fears remain
strong in Japan ever since the Fukushima disaster proved to be the second-worst
in history after Chernobyl, with the decommissioning process expected to last
for years to come.
