Abstract

Wade Allison, Honorary Professor at Oxford University in the United Kingdom, claimed to be willing to drink \'Japan’s Fukushima treated water\' in quantities greater than 1 litre. However, even if we assume it is treated water, it is not certain that drinking it would result in radiation exposure, but rather it might cause stomach discomfort. The definition of contaminated water can be described as \"water in a state where it is polluted or contains radioactive substances.\" On the other hand, treated water refers to water that has undergone specified water treatment in response to natural water sources. Fukushima effluents is only pre-treatment as ALPS process, so it is inadequate to simply call it treated water. In other hand, Korea’s Hanbit nuclear power plant discharged extremely warm effluent from cooling sea water in its plant condenser into the sea, which not only prevents fish from being caught in the nearby waters but also prevents the cultivation of seaweed. Currently, neighboring countries of Japan are relying on unscientific logic and raising their voices loudly regarding the release of Fukushima contaminated water, which is worrisome. However, this knowledge should not be confined to specialized knowledge but should be shared as basic common sense within society. Unfortunately, the world has largely neglected natural science and allowed itself to be swayed by fears that harm the world.
