“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.”

Release of water into sea inevitable after purification at Fukushima plant

From: the Japan News

It is imperative to speed up efforts to contain contaminated water at Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
A government panel on measures to dispose of contaminated water at the crippled nuclear complex has compiled a set of additional steps aimed at reducing radioactive water collecting there and preventing the water from leaking into the environment.
The source of the contaminated water is groundwater entering the crippled reactor buildings.
According to an analysis by the panel, the groundwater stems from the precipitation of rainwater in the compound of the nuclear plant that sinks into the ground.
To prevent this, the panel proposed paving the compound with asphalt. This would likely result in significantly reducing the volume of contaminated water, which is said to amount to an estimated 400 tons a day.
