think of a cube about the size of a very small house
Thats how much water this is
I would think you could flush that into the ocean and barely notice it
I wish your analogy was useful. Look at the pictures of the storage tanks at the link, the thousands of gallons of highly contaminated water in each, the fact that the tanks have a “life span” of 5 years but tens of thousands of them would be needed to hold the contaminated water....
Fish taken off trawlers in San Diego had, according to a Wood’s Hole marine biologist, traces of Fukushima radiation. He sampled 13 fish and all 13 were contaminated...off the coast of San Diego. And that was fall of 2011. It’s been about 24 months since that sample was taken, 5 times more contamination (estimated - 5 months of continuous leaking from underground and flowing into the ocean x5 would be roughly 25months) has been dumped in the ocean and there is no plan for stopping it.
Mr. K.
My apologies for my rude reply. I misread your post initially. Having read it completely, I still disagree with you strongly but would have made my original response to you less...ahem...terse.
Good point.
There are a half dozen or so nuclear submarines at the bottom of the sea. Nobody seems very concerned about radiation from those reactors.
Exactly. That’s a cube of water roughly 51 feet across. A year’s worth might be the equivalent of a drop of water in an Olympic swimming pool.
