changed the title of the thread so I don't freak anyone out too badly.

On 21 April, TEPCO estimated that 520 tons of radioactive water leaked into the sea before leaks in a pit in unit 2 were plugged, releasing 4,700 TBq of total water release (calculated by simple sum, which is inconsistent with the IAEA methodology for mixed nuclide releases[62]) (20,000 times facility's annual limit).[62][81] TEPCO's detailed estimates were 2,800 TBq of I-131, 940 TBq of Cs-134, 940 TBq of Cs-137.[62]

I was kidding.
While it isn't as much that has been previously leaked, no amount should be acceptable.
Thanks for posting

AbecedarinA single Olympc-size swimming pool has a volume of approximately 2500 cubic meters thus contains 2500 tonnes of water (approximately), or around 5 times more water than what was leaked.
StirlingNo YOU are guilty.....Tepco is guilty, but i feel no guilt.
I have been arguing for the removal and shut down of atomic power for the whole time its been in use......
But nobody would ever listen...
