I could be wrong, but I think Fukishima could release all the water at once and it’s effect on the ocean would be negligible.
It’s hilarious. Chicoms are complaining but the level of radiation being released is less and lower than what the chicoms release in standard operating procedure in their nuclear reactors.
Dilution is the solution for this pollution...
The ocean is vast...Fukushima not so much.
Not in the immediate area it wouldn’t be. I think their plan sounds very reasonable.
I don’t disagree with their plan at all. I just think the danger or radiation is often over stated. The anti-nuclear people hyperbolize by claiming that a drop of radiation will end life on the entire planet.
I got 72 grays of radiation for cancer.
10 yrs later I’m still going.
This is dark humor, of course. The core of a reactor burst open underground and hundreds of tons of water have been flushing the radoactive waste into the ocean since the reactor exploded, and will continue to do so.
At the same time, the Japanese made a show of storing water above ground, in containers that were supposed to be temporary and instead were coming apart at the seams.
We are about to find out Godzills is a documentary,,,
A million tons of water in the Pacific Ocean is a rounding error.
The reactor didn’t burst anymore than the one at TMI which also remained intact.
The radiation came from the spent fuel pool at Fukushima.
Reactors are made from 4” thick steel.
The Fukushima reactor exploded live on television and blew nuclear fuel into the air water and land. I guess you missed it.
“On 11 March 2011, an earthquake cut power to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, and a tsunami wiped out emergency generators. Three reactor cores exploded, releasing the highest amount of radioactivity in the environment since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.”
The solution is simple.
Pump the contaminated water into an oil tanker. Pull up to a drilling ship used for oil exploration. Transfer the water to the drill ship and have it released on the abyssal plain of the Pacific which is about 17000 feet. The incredible slow turn over of deep waters to the surface will insure that all the radioactive elements will be harmless when they reach the surface 1000s of years later.
I like your plan.
The joys of nuclear power. Connect a pipe to the city water system and let hem drink it.
If the plan as stated is correct, that seems like the best way to proceed. Of course, there will always be protesters. The protesters are only viable if they actually have a better plan.
The death rates will tell if true.
