True facts about Ocean Radiation and the Fukushima Disaster
People who love all of the scare-mongering won't read it because it will ruin their scare-mongering.
That's not to say that the Fukushima disaster is not a problem and that it can't still get worse because it is and it can. But 99% of the scare-mongering passed around on Youtube and the Internet in general is factually wrong and usually just downright deceitful. |
did you actually read the article you linked?
she clearly states she has no fucking clue about the exact amount of radiation released, then she continues her diatribe saying everything is fine, eat fish, except maybe bottom dwellers.
frack, she also has no real idea of how the facility operates

The radioactive rods in the Fukushima power plant are usually cooled by seawater [CORRECTION: they are usually cooled by freshwater. As a last ditch emergency effort at Fukushima seawater was used as a coolant.]. The double whammy of an earthquake and a tsunami pretty much released a s**tstorm of badness: the power went out, meltdown started and eventually the radioactive cooling seawater started leaking (and was also intentionally released) into the ocean. Radioactive isotopes were also released into the air and were absorbed by the ocean when they rained down upon it. These two pathways introduced mostly Iodine-131, Cesium-137, and Cesium-134, but also a sprinkling of Tellurium, Uranium and Strontium to the area surrounding the power plant.
There aren’t great estimates of how much of each of these isotopes were released into the ocean since TEPCO, the company that owns the power plant hasn’t exactly been forthcoming with information
