Honestly it sounds much worse than it is. It will be so diluted by the time they start pumping it probably won't have any effect. One million gallons is really a drop in the bucket compared to the 352,670,000,000,000,000,000 (approximately) gallons of water in the ocean. It still looks bad tho.

It's one million TONS not gallons, but your point is still valid.
Whoops, yer right. For some reason my mind just said gallons, tons just didn't register. LoL.
Yeah I believe it was tritium too which is somewhat naturally occurring.
(If they aren't lying that is!!!)
Tritium typically has a half-life of about 10 or so years.
Tritium is used to make watches glow I think.
They really didn't have a choice when they did it.
When stuck between bad and worse, they choose bad.
It's a sensible decision that controls the damage as much as possible.
BTW the reason for Fukushima was corruption, you can bet there's a lot of cleaning up going on behind the scenes, the nips don't take that kind of shit likely.
I wish we did stuff like get corrupt people in power to cut off body parts whenever they get caught.
Good, I hope we all die
They've demonised Nuclear power in the West but the Japanese have had to live with the affects of Radioactivity more than anyone, and they're not stupid, they probably have a more realistic understanding of it.
Deadly dihydrogen monoxide
Tritium-Hydrogen-Monoxide to be specific.
It sounds like the water's been treated, so it's radioactivity is probably very low.
