That's not how it works. It's dilute enough it's safe to just dump it on the coast already; dumping it at sea would just be a big PR production to make it appear even safer.
There's no risk of "water currents causing it to return home". That's not even something that is physically possible.
- pvaldes 7y ago> That's not even something that is physically possible. Water currents move water masses, travel in closed loops and obey the laws of physics. Claiming that is not even physically possible that the same water pass two times by a point is an overstatement. Can be unprobable, but is perfectly possible with enough time. Water in Fukushima travels to California and Alaska and then returns again to Japan, and then returns to USA in an endless loop. That's how it works. Ask an oceanographer. Water masses with their own collection of animals and plants are traced far away of their point of origin. Is not a secret at all.
