Showing Original Post only (View all)I would like to see an explanation of why water flowing thru/from Fukushima is bad [View all]
Or, more accurately, how bad it is, and why. I mean an explanation involving measurements, and numbers. For example, rough order of causation:
How much radioactive material is being picked up by this water? What kinds of radioactive material?
When it reaches the sea, how fast does it diffuse? What concentrations are being measured in the region, at various distances from the point of entry?
How much of this material is being picked up by organisms, particularly fish being harvested?
What concentrations of radioactive substances are being measured in fish caught in the region?
What is the expected human health impact of ingesting said radioactive substances, in the measured concentrations?
Even some measurements on the last two would be really useful. The world isn't at the mercy of Tepco to obtain this data. I assume somebody, somewhere is actually collecting data on seafood.
Because otherwise, the entire world is just making shit up. My wife would call it "grab-ass chemistry"
