Passage 1 About Science
CGTN releases feature program 'Japandora's Box'
CGTN发布专题节目《Japandora的盒子》
In a decision that has been universally condemned, the Japanese government has announced
that, in early summer of 2023, it will start dumping treated contaminated wastewater from the
Fukushima nuclear power plant into the sea. The CGTN feature program "Japandora's Box"
interviews several experts, who analyze the potentially damaging impact of the contaminated
wastewater's release on the marine environment not only in the immediate vicinity of Fukushima,
but also as far away as the Pacific coast of Canada and the U.S., and eventually, the whole world.
"Japandora's Box" also hears from members of the local fishing communities in Japan itself, as
well as the Philippines, who express fears for their livelihoods. By highlighting protests from
stakeholders like South Korea, Russia and China, the program also reveals the strength of
international anger at the Japanese government's decision.

from becoming law. If implemented, it would be the first statewide ban of its kind.

SpaceX's Starship rocket explodes minutes after lift-off
SpaceX的星际飞船火箭在升空几分钟后爆炸
SpaceX's Starship, the world's biggest rocket, exploded on Thursday, minutes after it lifted off from Boca
Chica, Texas.
"As if the flight test was not exciting enough, Starship experienced a rapid unscheduled disassembly before
stage separation," SpaceX said, adding that teams will continue to review data and work toward the next
flight test.
SpaceX launched its next-generation Starship cruise vessel for the first time atop the company's powerful
new Super Heavy rocket in an uncrewed test flight on Thursday. The two-stage rocketship, standing taller
than the Statue of Liberty at 120 meters high, blasted off from the company's Starbase spaceport and test
facility east of Brownsville, Texas, for what SpaceX hoped, at best, would be a 90-minute debut flight into
space.
A live SpaceX webcast of the lift-off showed the rocketship rising from the launch tower into the morning
sky as the Super Heavy's raptor engines roared to life in a ball of flame and billowing clouds of exhaust and
water vapor.
But less than four minutes into the flight, the upper-stage Starship failed to separate as designed from the
lower-stage Super Heavy, and the combined vehicle was seen flipping end over end before exploding.
Nevertheless, SpaceX officials on the webcast cheered the feat of getting the fully integrated Starship and
booster rocket off the ground for a clean launch and declared the brief episode a successful test flight. Elon
Musk congratulated the SpaceX team on his Twitter account for "an exciting test launch of Starship." He
said, "Learned a lot for next test launch in a few months."
