Graph model under grey and unknown preferences for resolving conflicts on discharging Fukushima nuclear wastewater into the ocean

Benshuo Yang et al.

Summary: Ten years after the Fukushima nuclear accident, the Japanese government's decision to discharge nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean has faced strong opposition from both Japanese citizens and neighboring countries, due to the potential harm to marine ecology caused by radioactive substances in the wastewater. To address this conflict, a novel grey and unknown preference framework was proposed to consider different equilibrium results and promote effective conflict resolution through consultation and cooperation.

Chinese public opinion on Japan?s nuclear wastewater discharge: A case study of Weibo comments based on a thematic model

Xujin Pu et al.

Summary: This study used social media platforms to assess public concerns regarding Japan's plan to dump nuclear wastewater into the sea. The major themes of public concern were found to be nuclear pollution and marine ecology, seafood imports and food safety, and international responsibility and public ethics. The analysis of user opinions revealed predominantly negative emotions towards the plan, although there was also a focus on positive factors such as environmental protection and sustainable development.

Evolutionary analysis of Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge events considering the impact of participants' emotions

Xu Xin et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the impact of the Japanese government's decision to discharge nuclear wastewater on Japanese fishermen, considering the role of emotions. The study finds that different emotion combinations lead to different stable strategies, and players' emotions not only affect their own decision-making but also influence the strategic intentions of other players. Additionally, reducing the cost of nuclear wastewater treatment is a feasible way to decrease the probability of discharge.

Impacts of harmful algal blooms on marine aquaculture in a low-carbon future

Manfred Lenzen et al.

Summary: This study explores the impact of transitioning from terrestrial livestock to marine and estuarine aquaculture on global diets, finding that aquaculture has the potential to replace meat consumption from terrestrial sources. However, harmful algal blooms (HABs) may have regional and global implications on protein supply, potentially leading to reduced protein intake.

A tripartite evolutionary game analysis of Japan's nuclear wastewater discharge

Jiaguo Liu et al.

Summary: This study establishes an evolutionary game model to explore the evolutionary stable strategies of Japan, other countries, and international environmental protection organization in the context of nuclear wastewater discharge. Critical factors influencing evolutionary results and trajectories are identified, and policy implications are suggested to promote Japan's non-discharge strategy to protect the marine environment and human health.

Applied Financial Metrics to Measure Interdependencies in a Waterway Infrastructure System

Dennis Sugrue et al.

Summary: Waterway disruptions can have significant impacts on supply chains, and this study uses corporate financial metrics to map supply chains, quantify interdependencies between companies, and assess the economic effects of waterway disruptions. The inventory turnover ratio is shown to be a valuable measure of interdependence.

Game analysis of nuclear wastewater discharge under different attitudes: Seeking a potential equilibrium solution

Jiaguo Liu et al.

Summary: The study comprehensively analyzes the equilibrium strategies of the discharge country and interest-related countries under different situations using static game, RDEU game, and sequential game. It suggests that when interest-related countries make decisions first, the discharge behavior of the discharge country should be restricted from the perspective of internal and external benefits.

Transport and dispersion of tritium from the radioactive water of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant

Chang Zhao et al.

Summary: Japan plans to release over 1.2 million tons of radioactive water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean, posing a threat to marine ecosystems and human health. Studies show that in short-term release scenarios, the peak plume with high tritium concentration can reach the northeastern Pacific, while in long-term release scenarios, the contaminated water plume is confined to coastal regions east of Japan.

The displacement of retail spending by students in host cities owing to Covid-19: A case study

D. Dyason et al.

Summary: Government regulations in response to COVID-19 have affected consumer spending patterns, especially among students in university host cities. The shift to online learning due to pandemic restrictions has led to a significant displacement of student spending, resulting in economic losses for local businesses. This highlights the importance of considering the impact of such spending displacement on the overall economic activity of university cities.

Modeling regional impacts and resilience to water service disruptions in urban economies

Sheree A. Pagsuyoin et al.

Summary: Water is a critical natural resource that sustains economic sectors, but climate change and rapid growth threaten water sustainability. The study developed an economic input-output model to assess the impact of water supply disruptions, finding that various economic sectors suffer significant losses during water scarcity. The importance of developing water demand and supply management strategies to enhance regional resilience against droughts was highlighted.
