“It's no surprise that this is happening. The Fukishima plants have been flooded with water to keep them cool for over two years now. It seems logical that at some point saturated soils would cause the contaminated water to spread.

Have these people NEVER heard of a cofferdam?

What are the implications if these contaminated waters enter the sea/Pacific Ocean?”
