(13,685 posts)As I said above, air emission have decreased from previous year's amounts.
From what I have read, at this stage - 3 years- strontium 90, a bone cancer causing agent is the most expected poison coming for the area.
Tritium levels just reported off the coast are at record highs.
The core locations are being flooded with water to keep them cool and that water is leaking into the ground and passing through underground tunnels into the pacific.
No doubt when the reactor containments first burst, and the water in the cores was released, was the worst case scenario, being as that water had very high levels of core material which washed into the pacific. Some of it was filtered out by the soils but now would be getting moved along as the groundwater flows.
