Engineers are planning to dispose of radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant, but scientists say the danger levels are even less than for normally operating power plants in Europe

took out the Fukushima Daiichi plant in central Japan, causing several nuclear meltdowns and the release of nuclear contamination.

This is common practice at nuclear power stations all over the world and the International Atomic Energy Agency has approved the plan. In fact, Tony Iriwn, a nuclear engineer at the Australian National University, called the proposals “ultra-conservative”, “But tritium in the form of ‘tritiated water’ is extremely difficult and costly to separate from ordinary non-radioactive water. So nuclear sites all over the world – including the UK, US, China and South Korea – discharge diluted wastewater to seas, rivers and lakes.He pointed out that the levels planned to be released at Fukushima were 450 times lower than those released into the English Channel by La Hague reprocessing facility in France.
