ocean contamination
About this tag
The tag 'ocean contamination' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about radioactive contamination of the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Topics include TEPCO releasing radioactive water into the sea, plutonium leakage, and radiation spikes detected offshore. Comparisons to Chernobyl and concerns about the spread of radioisotopes are recurring themes. The content focuses on environmental and health impacts of nuclear accidents on marine ecosystems.
New readings show levels of radioisotopes found up to 30 kilometers offshore from the on-going crisis at Fukushima are ten times higher than those measured in the Baltic and Black Seas during Chernobyl.

Japan: TEPCO to release 11,500 tons of nuclear radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean declaring the water to be dumped contains only low levels of radioactivity. In reality the water about to be dumped is highly radioactive as I point out below.

Link RemovedJapan's nuclear safety agency says radioactive iodine has been detected at more than 3,000 times the allowable level in the ocean near the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant.
Officials said Wednesday that the water sample, with the highest levels yet recorded, was collected about 300...
The, Japanese so far have no idea how to deal with all the highly radioactive water, used to cool the, reactors down .
It is also feared that the water may have now got into the ocean and soil via tunnels under the reactors . If so every effort to cool the plant down is leading to higher and...
