Japan to release contaminated Fukushima water into sea after treatment

Good that reactors are secure, can never explode and never "release radioactivity" in the environment (read: in your place)

Seriously, how do they want to contain this at all?

- The contaminated earth has been "removed" over square miles, so where is it now? You cannot "decontaminate" radioactivity as any schoolboy will tell you.
You can maybe (if you are lucky, and not in Chernobyl of course) decontaminate an area, by moving the radiating stuff somewhere else, where it will then still radiate and contaminate another place then for millenia to come.

In Fukushima, all the contaminated steel and iron and fuel rods have been dumped into so-called "cooling ponds" open to the atmosphere, where they will continue to "cool" (read: radiate) for some hundred thousand years to come.

The water of those ponds will now be released into the sea, saying it would be "filtered" beforehand.

1. Can any physicist please explain how you want to "filter" radioactive water?

2. Then fresh water will have to be added to the "cooling" ponds. Which will be contaminated and have to be released again in a few years. And so on and so on.

Who do they think they are fooling?
