Many of the Fukushima trashes ended up in Cresent city Area in California and I heard Japan paid for some of the expenses of cleaning up there. Eventually, the contaminated water will be diluted with all the sea water?
Suppose, the contaminated sea water is getting into the sea, 300 ton everyday. (1 ton is less than 1 cubic meter
for the sea water). Let's do some math.
If they pumb 300 cubic meter of contaminated water into the sea everyday, for 10 years and it is diluted by the sea water of the earth, what will be the end result during our life time?
300x365x10=1,095,000-cubic meter= 0.001095 cubic km
Total sea water volume is supposed to be 1,370,000,000 cubic km.
0.001095 cubic km of contaminated sea water will be put into 1,370,000,000 cubic km of sea water.
How significant it is?
So far several hundreds of atomic or hydrogen bombs were exploded into the air, underground, or into the sea (French did it in Polynesia area)
Eventually much of the radio active airborn dust will get into the sea.
Then, we must assess: Risk of radio active contamination sea water induced cancer,
risk of car accident, earth quake, acccidental GSW in USA, breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, hypertension, suicide,..
I do not know the ranking of the risk of contaminated sea water these days, but I hope it will be less than polluted air of US cities. I will wait until some one resports increased sea water radioactivity level and warns against going near water or eating fish. The risk of sea water polution is the heavy metals in the sea water, I heard.

"The Dangers of Cesium-137
"Among the many fission product nuclides, cesium 137 deserves attention because it possesses a unique combination of physical properties and historical notoriety. It is readily produced in large quantities during fission, has an intermediate half-life, decays by high-energy pathways, and is chemically reactive and highly soluble. These physical properties have made cesium 137 a dangerous legacy of major nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl, but it has also caused relatively small incidents as well.
Along with its intermediate half-life, a combination of high-energy radioactivity and chemical reactivity makes cesium-137 a particularly dangerous fission product. Cesium-137 undergoes high-energy beta decay, primarily to an excited nuclear isomer of Barium 137, which in turn undergoes gamma decay with a half-life of about 150 seconds. [4] The energies of both the beta decay of cesium-137 and the subsequent gamma decay of the excited barium 137 are 512 keV and 662 keV, respectively. [4] In addition, cesium is much more chemically reactive than many of the transition metal fission products. As a group 1 alkaline metal, elemental cesium is quite electropositive, and is readily oxidized by water, forming highly soluble Cs+. [5] For this reason, elemental cesium-137 may contaminate large volumes of water during nuclear accidents, which are difficult to contain or process. [6]
Despite its prevalence in spent nuclear fuel and nuclear waste, cesium-137 is actually extremely rare. Its half-life is too short for it to persist from natural fission sources, and on earth it is a synthetic isotope only. Should further nuclear accidents be avoided, the dangers of cesium-137 will eventually cease."
Officials in Japan hid the fact that the Fukushima nuclear plant has been pouring hundreds of tons of
nuclear waste water into the ocean every day....
There is no credibility from TEPCO or the Japanese government on the extent of the real disaster....
나쁜놈들... 이런것을 모른척하고 감추고 있으면서
아무것도 하지않고 속수방관 (束手旁觀)하고있는 왜놈들과 그 정부가 아닌가?
그러는 동안, 미국에 앉어있는 어떤 병신 같은 (일본앞잡이?)교수라는 者는..
"그건 아무것도 아니야. 쓸데 없는 걱정하고 있지마..."라고 일본놈들을 옹호하고있고 !!
이 기사는 영국에서 시작된 기사이지만, 만일 피해를 받는다면 제일 많이 받을 미국은
엉뚱한 소리만 하고있는지 알수 없읍니다.
미국조차 속수방관하는 이유는 무엇인가?
