#2450 tons of water is a drop compared to the vast amount of water in the pacific, so feel free to keep on eating fish.
As a sidenote: I've recently seen an increase in people submitting overhyped/scaremongering/dodgy as hell posts like OP's, hopefully the mods step in at some point.

450 tons of water every day, for somewhere around 2 years? Is that still a drop?

#4Japan is obviously responsible to making their local disaster to world-wide disaster.

Here's a better source from the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/09/fukushima-fallo...

>But the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and other experts have said the seepage will not affect areas beyond the sea directly off the coast of Fukushima Daiichi. "Even 300 tonnes [a day] — that's still going to be diluted to an almost undetectable level before it would get to any US territory," said the commission's information officer Scott Burnell.
You have to remember that this water isn't pure radioactivity, it's itself already a dilution.

A quick calculation on Wolfram Alpha shows that it would be 292,000,000 L Which would fill 116 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Thanks, I can totally visualize that arbitrary number of Olympic pools now!

Wikipedia says:
>The volume of the Atlantic with its adjacent seas is 354,700,000 cubic kilometers
1 cubic kilometer is 1 000 000 000 000 liters, so 354,700,000 cubic kilometers is 354,700,000,000,000,000,000 l.
1 ton of water is 907 l water, and Fukushima leaks 450 tons a day, that's 408,150 l.
Divided and multiplied by 100 that's 1.3*10^(-13)%.
Keep in mind, as I said above, that this water itself is a dilution of radioactivity.

You may accuse others of scaremongering, but I call you apathetic and you're trying to spread apathy to others. Why even bother commenting?
Oh, I accidentally voted you up, and I want that vote back.
