Its going to be like the bp spill and the target thing. As time goes on more and more information wil be released. Kind of like that story a few days ago about the service man suffering from radiation poisoning when they assisted after the wave hit.

Those who live on the coast, stationed in Japan know better what is going on.

Please back up a second, and explain exactly how having VERY slight differences in the ratio of an isotope which occurs naturally in the atmosphere (and always has - ever hear of carbon dating) could reasonably be described having an impact. It's only detectable because we have equipment that can measure down to fractions of a part per trillion, fer gawdsakes.

It weighs them down, as C14 is heavier that C12. Sharks are heavier than their environment anyway and need to swim to stay afloat. This just makes it 0.000000000000001 % harder on them.
But it is very unlikely that the minute amount of C14 is causing them to have health issues, that was not what I meant by 'having an effect'. The radiation it causes would be completely indistinguishable.

Fukushima failure: Decontamination system stops functioning ? RT News

The operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) has stopped using its systems to decontaminate radioactive water at the facility, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported.

The Advanced Liquid Processing System, or ALPS, has been utilized to liquidate radioactive substances from contaminated water stored at the plant.

The crane to get rid of the container from the ALPS ceased working on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, TEPCO stopped operating all 3 ALPS systems at the facility. The company officials say the system may take a long time to restart.

The container where the radioactive substances are stored has to be replaced when it fills up.

TEPCO, the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, crippled in the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, said that the company plans to decontaminate all radioactive water stored in the tanks by March 2015, NHK reported.

That’s despite the company officials telling The Japan Times a month ago that the radioactive water will be decontaminated by the end of fiscal 2014.

It’s not the first time that the ALPS system has experienced trouble: at the beginning of December, the system was reported to have broken down during trial operations.

Could you explain why I would want to cover this up, or withdraw the comment.

I suspect (did you see what I did there ) you won't as you don't do debate, just messages you get from your latest transcendental rant, or from spending too much time reading Mother Jones and ignoring the real world.
