And dump in over 30 years. Reading the headline made me think that they were just going to open the tanks and flush it all into the ocean untreated and all at once. I feel way better about it after reading the actual plan. People don't realize how much radiation they are exposed to on a daily basis. Most people don't even bat an eye when boarding a plane that travels @20k feet or higher, but they're actually getting more radiation than normal. Airline pilots actually have an increased rate of cancer compared to the general population because of how much time they spend without as much shielding from the earth's atmosphere. If it's low enough, certain radiations aren't a significant risk to your health. Getting one x ray a year isnt a big deal. Bathing in x rays for hours on end, yea that would be a problem. Edit: since some of you aren't inclined to look this up before responding, here ya go. https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/aircrew/cosmicionizingradiation.html God, there's alot of misunderstanding in this comment section, the best way to effectively eliminate radiation is to spread of out in the safest place we can. Radiation is natural part of the universe already. By slowly letting it into the ocean, it's getting diluted so much that it effectively becomes indistinguishable from normal background radiation, nothing is going to happen that isn't already happening at the current storage facility in the meantime.
