“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

Japan Says Fixing Fukushima’s Toxic Water Issues to Take Years

From: Bloomberg--Business Week

Ending radioactive water leaks along with groundwater and ocean contamination at the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan may take more than five years, according to a report by a government advisory body.
The effort includes building stronger storage tanks at the site to prevent leaks of radioactive water, covering areas with impermeable coating to stop groundwater contamination and building underground walls to block subsurface inflow.
Completing the measures will take till March 2019, the report estimates. It’s based on 779 proposals submitted by domestic and overseas companies to the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning. The plan doesn’t include any technology to remove tritium isotopes from water.
