- Authors
Chang, Yen-Chiang; Lee, Seokwoo; Sun, Jie
- Abstract
The article discusses the potential risks and challenges associated with the discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean and its transportation through ship ballast water. It highlights the increased risk of nuclear exposure for ship crews and the potential ecological and environmental consequences. The article emphasizes the vulnerability of Chinese ports, particularly along the Sino-Japanese shipping route, and the potential threat to water resources, aquatic environments, and coastal populations. It calls for international cooperation, stricter ballast water treatment measures, and the establishment of international standards and regulations to address the issue effectively. Additionally, the article mentions the need for international regulations governing the ocean disposal of nuclear wastewater to prevent unpredictable harm and disputes between nations.
