Fukushima guilty of world's worst sea contamination

A new report shows the Fukushima disaster is responsible for the world's worst nuclear sea contamination.

During the peak of Chernobyl, the Black Sea was registering 1,000 becquerels per cubic meter of water - at Fukushima's peak, it was 100,000 becquerels.

Scientists first believed the ocean would dilute it, but Al Jazeera has learned that dangerous concentrations of radioactive caesium remain.

Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Fukushima, Japan.

@ChrisPCrunchy message me though. im still interested.

@ChrisPCrunchy oh i do. japan is an island after all and theres only one way to make a long lasting island. btw building geothermal power plants in an unstable area on top of an unstable area... also not a very good idea. tends to be lot of trouble lurking just below those hotspots making them ..well... hot. on the plus side if something goes wrong the japanese will have a little more breathing room instead of a nuclear issue. been fun though man. ima give others room to speak lol

[ChrisPCrunchy]

@FreonRose You have no idea. There are numerous thermal springs where boiling hot ground water /steam rushes to the surface in the Fukushima area. There are many other similar sites all throughout Japan.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

@FreonRose Areas in or near earthquake zones are geothermal hot spots. How about they use some out of the box thinking and turn a negative into a positive by using some polution free geothermal energy. No that cant be done as every nation has to be externally dependant for their energy needs so the new world order can control and keep their economies and people enslaved.

[ChrisPCrunchy]

Its always a great idea to build Nuclear reactors in earthquake and tsunami prone areas. Karma is a bitch right?

@shinobirevolution Like I said, we are just now reaping the whirlwind of toxins dumped into the environment from our greedy need to have enormous demand for "power". There is a limit to how much of that the human body and the environment can absorb before we are slowly poisoned by all the pollution from all sources. I speak out via the web about that to all who promote more and more technology to solve the growing problem FROM that very same technology. I can't change all, only my own use.
