This reactor is an old US model forced to buy from the US government. This is why no Japanese knew how to fix the problem when it occurred. This is the truth but it is so political that nobody can talk in public.

@pleiadiblu2365 The concentration of tritium that Japan is going to release is about 1/7 of the international standard and is much much less than those currently released by nuclear plants of other countries.

@cappuccino-1721 The simple fact is that the reactor is the only reactor that failed and no other Japanese ones on the site failed; it was the first reactor that the US almost forced Japan to buy though Japan was very reluctant to have even a single nuclear plant and even said no first; it was then the old model GE which even GE had lots of trouble with. Right from the beginning, it was a highly political process rather than economical. For the Japanese, it was an almost black box and soon realized the technologies used in it were not a complete package. It also simply makes you wonder why the backup generator is on the ground level and was not located up on the hill next to it even though it is right next to the ocean of a country with lots of earthquakes.

But.... This reactor is an old US model forced to buy from the US government. This is why no Japanese knew how to fix the problem when it occurred. This is the truth but it is so political that nobody can talk in public.

@randomperson-u2u State who did that. The US? HOW did they ruin the ocean?

@kt8050 No, that is not how it works, when somebody forces you to buy without choice.

@sld1776 ???????? What's the "small amount"? Compare that with what other countries are dumping. There you are.
