Fukushima Commentary for today –
Fukushima and the Inevitable Tritium
Controversy -
Early in 2014, Tepco will begin full-scale operation of ALPS,
removing all wastewater isotopes except Tritium. Tritium is one of the weakest
beta-emitting isotopes in the universe. 37,000,000 Becquerels per liter doesn't
hurt lab mice. Fukushima's highest Tritium level is 630,000 Bq/liter. They
should release the ALPS system effluent directly to the sea, but radiophobic
outcries in Japan will not allow it.
