Default Looks like Japan's nooks may leak into the ocean

They have a power plant that they[ore concerned is going to leak off
highly contaminated water into the sea... Not good for fisherman and
the fish that people thrive on.


That is old news. What is new news is that plutonium, not just uranium,
cesium and iodine, but plutonium particulate are now outside the reactor.

China is turning back people and ships, because they far exceed their
standards -- which are pretty liberal. Yep, people!! At least 2
Japanese tourists than lived 140km away from the plant.

Add in that for at least a week now Japanese have been criminally
flushing this waste into the Pacific ocean. At 140kms out in the ocean
has been measured at 1250 normal radiation. For water, that is
criminally high as water tends to make it look better than it really is.

This means a few things. A major meltdown(s) have occurred, probably
the MOX fuel too. It also means containment has been breached all over.
And that Japan is actively flushing the waste into the ocean.

They need to work on containment, not reclaim. And Obama would rather
fight a war with a little country in a political/gang feud than to deal
with what is the worst nuclear power generation disaster in mankind's
history.

Because right now Japan is willfully poluting the Pacific ocean with
radioactivity, and the Pacific ocean is a major world food source.
Tuna, shrimp, salmon, scallops, oysters, squid -- you name it.

A huge crime.
