[ RadSafe ] Experts: Ocean life can handle radioactive leaks

[gelsg at aol.com]

The solution to radioactive pollution is dilution in time and space.

My question would be, how much dilution is occurring in terms of time (say half-lives of 131I) or space (say meters from the shoreline)?  Don't you think we should do a little better job of providing for reasonable dilution?  I know these are difficult times for TEPCO and I know the ocean is very big, but I hope someone is asking these questions in Japan.

I agree with your statement 100%.  Just think about our solar system.  The 
istance between the earth and our sun is a good demonstration of your 
tatement.

"That's basically because of dilution."
I agree.  The solution to radioactive pollution is dilution in time and
pace.
