2. They claim they have dumped ONLY 10,000 gal. into the Pacific
You and I both know the gallonage is at least 1,000,000 of radioactive waste water that is being dumped into the Pacific Ocean. Then read this and see how trivial this news is, when by proxy, it could affect millions of people.

"It's extremely hard to clean up water that's contaminated with tritium," he said. "There's this incredible illusion that you can dump radioactive waste in the ocean and it won't come back to you in the fish you eat. That's troubling. Dilution is irrelevant."
