150,000 SQ.KM of Pacific with Fukushima nuclear material - ‘Remarkable’ amount released in ocean

79. Let us compare, FBaggins. I say it's not normal. You say it is.

Anyone with a set of eyes can look at the NOAA maps and see for themselves.

Even more important, I also say three out-of-control nuclear reactors, including one that ran on plutonium-uranium mixed oxide fuel, that long ago went into full-blown meltdown and their busted-out containment buildings and surrounding storage facilities spewing radiation into something so big as the Pacific can do great damage to the environment and human life.

And you do not.



See. I kept it simple.

Just for you.

4.2.3 Characteristics of Plutonium Contamination

There are few characteristics of plutonium contamination that are unique. Plutonium
contamination may be in many physical and chemical forms. (See Section 2.0 for the many
potential sources of plutonium contamination from combustion products of a plutonium fire
to radiolytic products from long-term storage.) [font color="red"]The one characteristic that many believe is
unique to plutonium is its ability to migrate with no apparent motive force. Whether from
alpha recoil or some other mechanism, plutonium contamination, if not contained or
removed, will spread relatively rapidly throughout an area.[/font color]
