Nuclear Watchdog

Inspired by:

On March 11, 2011 an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan and caused catastrophic damage to the Fukushima nuclear plant. It's being reported that there have been significant increases in recent months in levels of radioactive cesium in the groundwater, as well as strontium and tritium offshore. From VOA article: the head of the recently established Japan Nuclear Regulatory Authority, Shunichi Tanaka, acknowledges contaminated water has probably been continually leaking into the Pacific Ocean since the plant was swamped by a tsunami triggered by a magnitude nine earthquake on March 11, 2011. "The ocean continues to be contaminated to some extent, great or small," Tanaka said, adding that that while it peaked at the time of the disaster two years ago, he thinks it has been continuing even after that.
