Japan plans to build a nuclear waste treatment plant in Hokkaido. Why does it suddenly have this plan?

Japan wants to build a nuclear waste treatment plant in Hokkaido. It is obvious that domestic nuclear waste has accumulated to the extent that it can be processed. The government can only choose one area to deal with nuclear waste. Although Hokkaido is a tourist city, it is also an island city. Surrounded by the sea, it is the best place for nuclear waste disposal. The government can only choose this place to build a nuclear waste treatment plant. 01. The initial decision to build a plant was met with opposition from citizens

Nuclear waste disposal has always been a serious problem. In Japan, 2 tons of nuclear waste has not been processed and is stored underground. That’s why we decided to build a nuclear waste treatment plant, but the choice of location was not very good. After all, Hokkaido is also a tourist city. How can those citizens agree to build a nuclear waste treatment plant in Hokkaido? Once the nuclear waste treatment plant is built, this tourist city will basically become cold. Not to mention going to Hokkaido to ski and eat seafood. The pollution level makes sea creatures afraid to eat it. 02. Some experts in Hokkaido have also come forward to demand that the application for building a factory be stopped

In view of the serious pollution caused by nuclear waste, some experts from Hokkaido have also come forward and asked that the application for building a factory be stopped. The purpose is to protect the ecological environment of Hokkaido. As a tourist city, Hokkaido brings in a lot of revenue every year. If we succeed in building factories to process nuclear waste, no one will travel to Hokkaido from now on. No one will travel to a nuclear waste disposal area, and no one can guarantee whether these wastes will affect the human body. It's said to be a treatment plant, but I don't know whether it can completely process nuclear waste. 03. Haruo Kataoka, the mayor of Sutsu Town, agreed to build the factory because of the income from the industry

However, someone else in Hokkaido agreed to build the treatment plant, and that was Haruo Kataoka, the mayor of Sutsu Town. When the government applies to build a nuclear waste treatment plant, Hokkaido can receive a subsidy, which is paid every year. About 1 billion yen a year, which is not a small amount. Kataoka Haruo also made the calculation and believed that in addition to the tourism industry, Hokkaido’s economy and population are declining. Supplementary income is needed, and the subsidy provided for the establishment of a nuclear waste treatment plant can just increase Hokkaido's income.
