We will nevee agree.👆

Just comes off sounding like you really love all things having to do with radiation. Not cool man that stuff can make people super angry. Haven't you watched Star Wars? Anger makes you stab little kids.

He's part of the NRC most likely.
Basically he's taking the side that dumping an endless supply of highly irradiated water into the ocean is not going to do anything.
Oh and yea there is this.

You only have to burn (fission) 0.01208 grams of Uranium-235, to generate 1000 megawatts. The energy density of Uranium puts fossil fuels to shame, and it doesn't poison our atmosphere with greenhouse gasses.
Radiation is a danger, but disasters like Fukashima and Chernobyl happened because of lax safety regimes.

Obviously, however when its constantly being pumped into the ocean at 500 tons of highly irradiated water a day, this happens.

And the idea that its going to stop in the pacific is a pipe dream unless people think all the oceans are not connected. Radiation at this level does not just "go away." Because its in the ocean. Sure the ocean has ways of recovering from oil spills, this is something else entirely.

Yes of course, that's a very reputable website. I especially like the stuff on the secret bio projects to create human and animal hybrids.

You are right, Fukashima does nothing to the ocean..what side are you on exactly. You hate global warming yes, but you like nuclear, and the disasters??
Where exactly is all that highly irradiated water going then? Are they somehow getting it out?? And if so, how?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to claim that Japan is dumping five hundred tonnes of irradiated water into the ocean on a daily basis?
Where is it coming from? Why would Japan dump irradiated water into the ocean? Why isn't the world up in arms?
The water used to cool the fuel rods gets boiled away almost instantaneously. That's what happens when your burning something at several thousand kelvins.

No they are not dumping it.
The high radioactive corium has burrowed deep down in the sea wall, there is nothing that can be done.
It cannot be removed.
http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/greyraven/64981/fukushima-unit-1-the-corium-has-disappeared
Accordingly, 140 metric tons of corium are no longer in the reactor vessel. The temperatures measured by IRID in the PCV as per August 25. 2015, which generally range throughout the entire Unit 1 complex at around 30 degrees Celsius, appear to confirm this. All that remains is corium “residue” seen on the walls along which it flowed downwards, as described (see images) in the links above.
It should be understood, that when addressing the situation at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, what we are looking at is not just one catastrophic nuclear event but at four separate events, each harboring their own, distinct risks and dangers. Each of the remaining three units at the site will have to be separately dealt with; one confirmed complete core meltdown with a fully compromised primary containment, two (partial or complete) core meltdowns.
As things stand, there are now well neigh 100+ metric tons of highly radioactive nuclear corium located somewhere beneath Unit 1 at the Fukushima Daiichi site.
