the international community should have a standard to face this waste issue for using nuclear reactor. nuclear will be used more and more for energy need. every advanced countries have nuclear reactors so be prepared for those situations.

节选自National Geographic 五月二十三日网上版"Japan is poised to release nuclear wastewater into the Pacific. How worried should we be?"
可以看出对福岛核废水处理方法的置疑来自于美国科学界,而且还不是仅仅几个人的声音。这时候作者站出来隐隐地摆出一副我是在讲科学而你们只是只有立场(通过上下文可以看出吐槽的对象),其实更像是此地无银三百两式地告诉别人自己才是有立场的。

"....Now, American scientists are raising concerns that marine life and ocean currents could carry harmful radioactive isotopes—also called radionuclides—across the entire Pacific Ocean...."
"...Richmond and his colleagues are not the only American scientists urgently raising such concerns. This past December, the United States-based National Association of Marine Laboratories—an organization with more than a hundred member labs in the U.S. or U.S. territories—released a statement opposing the wastewater release plan. It cited “a lack of adequate and accurate scientific data supporting Japan’s assertion of safety.” The discharges, the statement said, may threaten the “largest continuous body of water on the planet, containing the greatest biomass of organisms … including 70 percent of the world’s fisheries.”
"...Buesseler cautions that the filtration system has not yet “been shown to be effective all of the time.” He says there are other “highly concerning elements … that they haven’t been able to clean up,” such as cesium and strontium-90, an isotope that increases risks of bone cancer and leukemia, earning it the sinister designation of “bone seeker.”
After examining TEPCO’s data on some of the wastewater storage tanks, Buesseler and his colleagues say that after treatment, the wastewater still contained radioactive isotopes whose levels varied significantly from tank to tank. “It’s unfair to say that they’ve been successfully removed,” he says."
“The root of this problem is that they are moving already with a plan that has not yet shown that it will work,” Buesseler says. “They’re saying, ‘We can make it work. We’ll treat it as many times as it takes.’ If you want to put a nickname on this plan, it’s ‘trust us; we’ll take care of it.’”
