TEPCO plans to dump water from Fukushima plant after cleaning it […]
[Tepco] said Thursday it plans to dump contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean after removing radioactive substances to reduce contamination to legally permissible levels.
[…] it fears eventually running out of capacity to store radioactive water that continues to accumulate at the plant […]
Still, the utility acknowledged that it needs to win approval of local governments and other parties concerned in actually discharging the water into the ocean. An official said, “Nothing specific has been decided at this moment.” […]
“It also contains nuclear fuel — There will be uranium in that water and plutonium in that water as well” -Nuclear Engineer Arnie Gundersen
I guess the big question of the day for Tepco as a layperson would be…”How clean can the water that is being dumped,really be”? I understand that this type of energy is quite dangerous and unstable regardless of who the country is that has the facility. Have you considereded closing this facility completely and sealing it and constructing a new plant/facility on the other side of your island/country further inland? I am only making a suggestion.We are all sharing the same planet and the water and air. Thank you gentlemen.(Also,one additional comment now that I have your attention…Please consider ending whaling.)
You mean like they have not been doing it since the beginning? Yeah Right! Explain the radioactive snow in Arkansas.
