I have a friend who was a nuclear physicist, wrote a book on radiation poisoning, and he keeps saying this fukushima is way overblown and there are enough naturally present radioactive material just in the san francisco bay sea water to make several nuclear bombs - if you could gather it easily. I'm not saying dumping that water is good, it instinctively sounds terrible (mostly because it may not dilute quickly and first affect specific regions and fish population via currents and land on our door step), but it may not make an iota of difference to natural ocean radiation levels once diluted overall. Guess it depends how they go about it, all at once, one place, etc... This topic could use input from an independent scientist that's neither working for Japanese power nor greenpeace. Maybe we got one here ?
