(2 Million disintegrations/second being found on the ground as far as 25 miles from the plant site.)

I suppose this relates to Roentgens. 1 Roentgen is 2 billion ionizing events in 1 cc of air, so 2e6 events ( per cc ) per second would be a milliroentgen per second. Maybe that's where the 2 came from. The linked article states, "An exposure of 500 roentgens in five hours is usually lethal for human beings" and 1 milliroentgen per second is 3.6 roentgens per hour, so that's getting up there, if my interpretaion of this number is correct.

Arnie Gundersen is a questionable source.

Gundersen points out that all of the water going in to the reactors is being irradiated, leaking out, and polluting the Ocean.

I don't think it ALL is; there have been reports of huge amounts of water being sent through the condenser units which are designed to handle the radioactive water.

Clearly a lot of polluted water is making it into the ocean, as we see the daily reports of high levels of short-lived radioactive particles; hopefully these will disperse well while they decay to non-dangerous particles.
