It sounds like they've determined where the leak is and are trying to repair.

TEPCO has gotten permission to dump about 10,000 tons of contaminated water into the Pacific. That's 3 million gallons.

They wouldn't be doing this unless they pretty much had to, but yeah, it's not great. However, the Pacific's a big place and this will very quickly be diluted.

Hopefully this creates a mutant whale army that will wage a war on Japanese whalers. That would be ironic.
And awesome.

The water being intentionally discharged isn't highly radioactive. It's about 10 times what is permitted in food/water.

11,500 tons times 2240 lbs/ton divided by 8.33 lbs/gallon = 3.094 million gallons of radioactive water
Jeesh. Radiative water... plus all of the corexit from the Gulf oil spill. Seafood is not going to be in my diet anymore. Which sucks because I would love one of those Taco Bell Pacific Shrimp tacos... heh. |
