Japanese officials couldn't (or wouldn't) answer the question when asked why it took 2 years to tell the public that radioactive water was pouring into the Pacific. The nuclear plant is also over an aquifer..how brilliant was that ?
There's nothing they can do. There is silence because there is no "fix".
They are going to try to freeze it now to contain it.
For 2 years there have been stories and reports on what's been happening.
Mutated fruits, vegetables and grains. Radiation is millions of times above acceptable levels.
They have over 1000 tanks holding radiated water and there is no end in sight because groundwater is seeping up and into the plant. It's that overflow that is pouring into the Pacific.
And we're all warned about the effects of radiation yet Japan has no reports of increased birth defects or cancer.
Biologists have seen mutated plants and animals but have not been able to get any funding to do further research.
Tuna caught off California have 10x the level of cesium than before the accident.
Stupid to build nuclear reactors in a tsunami zone.
That's about all it amounts to. Built a nuke plant on the SHORE of the Ring of Fire and put the back up generators at sea level? HUH??????? Humans are their own worst enemy most of the time.
Bad news continues to come from Fukushima, and now we are finding out the situation is basically out of control.
There is currently somewhere between 300 and 600 tons of radioactive water spilling into the pacific ocean every day, and no way to stop it. There are concerns about the containment of the cores, and there is evidence that some larger migrating fish like bluefin tuna are accumulating long term radiation.
How radioactive is the water?
As radioactive as the power plant's nuclear core?
Or as radioactive as the dial of your watch?
That makes a difference, you know. And for some reason you haven't mentioned it here.

Try millions times acceptable levels.
100% of tuna caught off California's coast have increased levels of cesium.
But the USG says they are still safe to eat.

The problem with certain kinds of radioactivity is that is cumulative. It is absorbed by lower tiers of the food chain and when they are consumed by larger species the accumulation multiplies.
It is much the same problem as heavy metals; they tend to collect for years in the host causing health problems years later.
It could result in restrictions in the amount of certain kinds of seafood that can be consumed safely. That would not be a good thing for a world already struggling with starvation and malnutrition.
"I'm scared so it must be that way" doesn't cut it.
What..you ignored this for 2 years ?
Either use google to find out for yourself or just wait for our MSM to get on the ball.
