BRIEF
Fukushima Foolery
The Tokyo Electric Power Company (commonly referred to as TEPCO) commenced the discharge of radioactive seawater on Monday afternoon. This was done via a specially constructed underwater conduit designed to let out seawater contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident into the ocean, as reported by Japan's national broadcasting organization, NHK, on Tuesday. TEPCO stated that about 6,000 tons of seawater would have been funneled by Tuesday midday into the tunnel.
