It doesn't say how they're going to release it though. Are they just going to flush it by the shore? Wouldn't you want to actually spread it out as much as possible and as far away as you can, rather than have it concentrated right next to where you and lots of fauna live?
- pm90 6y agoFrom the article: > The following month, Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, the operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant, drafted a plan to dilute the water to below the legal limit for concentration of radioactive materials before releasing it in the sea. Presumably that’s safe to dump into the sea shore when it’s that diluted.
- freetime2 6y agoYup and will further dilute by orders of magnitude once released into the open ocean.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoAbsolutely, but it’s critical monitoring is occurring to ensure enough dilution is taking place to render what is being dumped harmless.
