Every time I log into one of my emails at Yahoo the first thing I see is about Japan.

10,000 gallons of highly radioactive water has been dumped in the ocean to prevent it from becoming more radioactive keeping levels to some political acceptable level. Go back to sleep.

AS I understand it there is no fishing allowed now in the zone. Well, now I hope someone told the fish!

Every article I've read said it was low level radioactive water. If you have a source that says it was highly radioactive I'd like to see it.

Fukushima OCEAN RADIATION 4,385 x HIGHER than limit,GROUND 4 x HIGHER than CHERNOBYL…

This is interesting

And an update

Watching it on FOX news I understood that lowER level water was being released to make more storage for higher level contaminated water. It is all highly contaminated even the lowER level contaminated water just not as bad as some they have that is so bad they cannot measure it because it is off the scale.

**Rick** · 04-04-2011, 08:20 PM

What are the numbers between lowER and highly contaminated? I can't seem to find them. If it's all HIGHLY contaminated what does that mean? If anyone has any numbers I'd like to see them. I've looked and can't find them.

JC-If you understood anything that guy said then I'm coming to you with all my nuclear questions from now on. What the hey is 2,000,000 Madam Curies anyway?

He said it was BAD ! lol

A Curie is a measure of Radioactivity.

This PDF from the IAEA website gives info, it takes bit of reading though.

Here's a link to IAEA website giving up to date info on Fukushima plant(and other stuff)

I can see the source now that I am quoting you, but it is broken or something. Saw it this morning same as you.

**Rick** · 04-05-2011, 01:28 PM

I fixed the link...I think.

**rwc1969** · 04-06-2011, 01:07 AM

I guess when it comes down to it I'd rather swim in or drink low level radioactive water than high level stuff.

**Rick** · 04-06-2011, 09:21 AM

Apparently, the levels of radiation being detected in the fish are not yet a health concern. It also looks like they have the leaks plugged.

Worried about a radioactive ocean? A reality check

Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

NEW YORK — This week, workers at the stricken Japanese nuclear plant dumped radioactive water into the ocean to make room for storing even more highly contaminated water on the site. The water dumping came after earlier leaks of radioactive water that had already raised concerns about its effects in the ocean, raising questions about health and safety. Here are answers to some of those questions.
