I'll have what he is having, in fact, Ill have a double.
"Because of the plant’s location along the coast, much of the water washed into the Pacific, resulting in the largest accidental release of radiation to the ocean in history. Additional airborne radioactive material from the explosions and fires at the plant fell onto the sea surface, where it too mixed into the water, as did subsequent leaks from tanks on the site holding treated water."
This is from Woods Hole, you probably do not know or recognize their expertise.
"the largest accidental release of radiation to the ocean in history."
- amalgamated_inc 4y agoYes, and, as demonstrated in another post on here, way less than what's released naturally every day. Even the worst case just isn't very bad.
- PaulHoule 4y agoAnd it is is just a drop in the ocean when you consider the natural radioactivity from ⁴⁰K. It may be a local, time-bounded problem in the first few years after the accident in that certain isotopes may bio-concentrate and affect fishing and agriculture in that region. So far as the ocean as a whole goes I'd be more concerned about chunks of styrofoam.
