No, they are not dumping contaminated water back into the Pacific but they are using the water to cool the reactor reminants (think heat exchange). And they keep on accumulating contaminated water… they claim that the level can be safely dumped into the Pacific but who knows??
"TEPCO and the government said the water just contains tritium, which cannot be separated from water. But it turned out that the water contains more radioactive materials. But they didn't disclose that information before."
"That kind of attitude is not honest to people," she says. "They are making distrust by themselves."
H-3 can be found as tritiated water (HTO), Gaseous tritium (HT) and organically bound tritium (OBT) Text
