Yes, I'm asking that. Because all sea water is irradiated anyway, the effects depend on the amount of radiation in the water. So, what problems is this water entering the sea causing?
- newnewpdro 8y agoMy understanding is not all isotopes are equally hazardous. The stuff coming with the reactor-contaminated water is particularly harmful to the marine environment and people of Japan, and not normally present at such levels in the surrounding waters. The half-life as I understand it is relatively short for the especially harmful stuff, but that's not so helpful if leaks are ongoing.
