Is this radioactive water headed towards California?
“16 million times above the limit” - that ‘s pretty concentrated! If they stopped it today, California would still be washed by it for up to another year.
If you think tuna was iffy with it’s mercury levels - what about now? I no longer eat tuna - ro, knowingly, any fish from the Pacific.
But what about the produce/meats in your supermarkets?
Truly more and more urgent to eat local/organic/home grown.
Much of the fancy bottled water is tap water from Los Angeles. Bad enough in itself, but now?
When I do buy bottled water, I only buy SPRING water - and ti has to be so labeled - and it’s much cheaper to boot. But I thank God for my own sweet well water - and living in the state furthest from California

What if the Fukushima nuclear fallout crisis had happened here? - Key in your ZIP code
Whether hysterical hype or truth, I hope that this diverts more funds to thorium energy research.
I have to wonder if people realize that a massive amount of radioactive fuel is sitting in pools on the upper floors of explosion damaged buildings which rest on land that is in danger of liquifying because of the rise of the radioactive water resulting from containment attempts. People must be able to get to those buildings in order to maintain the flow of cooling water over massive stores of radioactive fuel. If the workers can’t walk through radioactive waste softened ground, if the ground liquifies under the foundations of the damaged buildings holding fuel, if an earthquake damages those pools or shifts the stability of the buildings which rest on softened ground....so much hangs in the balance. Without coolant, those fuel rods will overheat, evaporate and some will melt through the structure - these actions will liberate massive quantities of radioactive fuel. Not only is Fukushima not “over”, but so much more damage hangs in the balance while people sneer about the sun in our solar system being nuclear and everything is just fine...
Where is all the water coming from? This says it is groundwater.
The water is 60 cm above the dikes, so a wall of water 2 ft high is cascading over the top of the dikes. That is a lot of water, the dike must be pretty short to get only 300 tons per day.
It sounds like they built the plant of top of a large spring, or is the upwelling of water an aftereffect of the earthquake? Or simply bad reporting?
