Japan Dumping Radioactive water into the Ocean‏

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-japan-nuclear-20110405,0,2631891.story The operator of Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear plant began releasing about 11,500 tons of radioactive water into the sea Monday evening so that it could make room in storage tanks for even more severely contaminated water. This sounds like a fantastic idea. Why don't they put it in barrels and bury it underground? They are so dumb. the water being released had levels of radioactive iodine 131 more than 100 times the legal limit allowed for sea discharge, the government approved the release as an "emergency" measure so that water with 100,000 times more radiation than the water found in a normally functioning reactor can be removed from the basement of the turbine building at reactor No. 2 and stored somewhere on the site. They couldn't just do that with all the water? the government asserted that the release of the radioactive water into the sea would not pose an immediate threat to humans. Wait a week..... You are really going to enjoy your fish dinner. Nuclear experts have assumed that radioactive iodine, which has a brief half-life, would become diluted in the ocean and decay too quickly to be detected in fish, but Monday's finding has raised doubts about that, said Ohara. It took them until Monday? I had doubts last week I don't believe anything they are saying. Just wait for the 3 headed fish to start swimming by. I am sure they will be discounted at the local supermarket. Currently there are no standards for radioactivity in meat, eggs, fish and grains. Eh who needs standards. I am sure industry will do the right thing as they always do. Eat up. the government are now considering options including putting it into a "floating island" offshore. Also being discussed is the installation of an undersea barrier, usually used to contain old spills, that might slow the radioactive water's move offshore. That sounds safe. Put it in a floating island and hope there is no hurricane or tropical storm. Sounds like a fine idea.
