Exotic plants after the Fukushima disaster

The catastrophic leak of radiation at Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant two years ago seems to have caused long-term consequences and one of them is to cause plants in the affected area to mutate abnormally.

A Korean website recently published a series of photographs of deformed flowers and vegetables, and declared them a product of the Fukushima incident. However, it is still unclear where the crops and vegetables are grown, or whether the photos have been modified or not and whether the nuclear disaster two years ago was the "culprit" causing the variable. so weird or not.

In 2011, the 8.9-magnitude earthquake, which caused a devastating tsunami, then devastated the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, resulting in radioactive leaks and the loss of 18,500 lives in the country. Sunrise. Japan's Fukushima incident is considered to be the largest nuclear disaster in the world since the Soviet Union's Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

The radiation leak in Fukushima is said to have caused giant mutant cabbage .

Although no radioactive exposure to death has been reported, authorities have detected very high levels of radioactivity infiltrating groundwater near the Fukushima plant.

Among the mutant vegetables posted on the Korean website, a giant tomato grows full of tumors, a 5-fingered radish and 2 anomalous 8-shaped double peaches. An old gardener also holds a giant mutant cabbage in his hand, which is at least 4 times larger than a regular cabbage.

It is unclear where these mutant plants and vegetables are grown .

In addition, the image also showed many orange and eggplant fruit sticking together from the same stalk, the cucumber fruit sprouting leaves between the stem, sunflowers growing among another flower .

Earlier this year, one caught a fish carrying a radioactive cap of 2.540 times the permitted threshold for seafood in the bay near the Fukukshima plant's main reactor. A report in October last year also found that the amount of radioactivity infecting most of the caught fish off the coast of Fukushima has yet to decline a year after the nuclear incident.
