Tokyo Electric says it thinks that maybe, just maybe, radioactive water might be leaking into the ocean from one of the destroyed Fukushima nuclear reactors.

They're dumping an Olympic swimming pool of water a day over the plant buildings, right next to the shoreline, and they think it might be winding up in the sea? Let's get real, folks -- the Pacific is the containment vessel for this accident, and it will never be the same. The nuke guys in Japan, and throughout the world for that matter, don't really have any other plan for this site but to keep dousing it.

After several typhoon seasons, if they're lucky and there hasn't been a major catastrophe, the task will likely be to entomb three or four of the reactors, Chernobyl-style. Will Japan have that kind of money? And will the jokers who are telling us today about the possible radioactive pollution, be up to the task?
