Japan to Release Radioactive Water into the Sea

[Black Orchid]

A Japanese government panel on Friday roughly accepted a draft proposal for releasing into the sea massive amounts of radioactive water now being stored at the tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant.

The economy and industry ministry's draft proposal said releasing the water gradually into the sea was the safer, more feasible method, though evaporation was also a proven method used after the 1979 Three Mile Island accident. The proposal in the coming weeks will be submitted to the government for further discussion to decide when and how the water should be released.

Nearly nine years after the 2011 meltdowns of three reactor cores at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Plant, it was a small step toward deciding what to do with the water and follows expert recommendations.

It is meant to solve a growing problem for the plant's operator stuck between limited storage space for the water and an imminent backlash from the public and possibly neighboring countries.

It was anybody doing it, "Nicole", I'd be pitching a fit. I'm just interested in how Black Orchid sees radioactively reaching downunder from a release of water in Japan. Perhaps she think we have an ocean current that flows directly from Japan to Sydney or might it instead just hop on a plane and fly here, perhaps? Mmmmm?

We get crap from Japan on our West coast all the time, and we are nowhere near Japan.

You are appreciably nearer than we are, Tex. You also have a northern Pacific current that we aren't connected to. The West Coast of North America would see this radioactive water long before it ever reached Downunder.
