DoomsdaysCW<p>"The press have repeated a statement initially peddled by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCO</span></a>, that this contaminated water only includes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tritium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tritium</span></a>. This is untrue, and tritium is not without its own risks. The water being discussed has been through the various filtration systems on site used to remove <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/isotopes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>isotopes</span></a>. Each system removes some of the radioactive elements in the water. ALPS is the last of these systems. It can remove much of the remaining contamination but not all of it, some radioactive contamination remains in this water.</p><p>"We [SimplyInfo] documented back in 2018 that this water contains other problematic radioactive elements including:</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Plutonium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plutonium</span></a> (238, 239, 240)<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Americium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Americium</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/iodine129" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iodine129</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Technetium99" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Technetium99</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cobalt60" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cobalt60</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Curium244" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Curium244</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Niobium94" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Niobium94</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Europium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Europium</span></a> (152, 154)<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cesium137" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cesium137</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Strontium90" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Strontium90</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Selenium79" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Selenium79</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nickel63" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nickel63</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tin126" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tin126</span></a> (aka: Sn-126)</p><p>"As of 2018 the stored post <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ALPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ALPS</span></a> water contained 200 billion becquerels of iodine 129, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ruthenium106" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ruthenium106</span></a>, and technetium 99.
