   Incomplete rubbish. What leaked, where, when and who would would be a   
   start !   
      
   What - Water stored after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear incident.   
      
   Where - Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station.   
      
   Treatment - An advanced liquid filtration system removed all radioactive   
   materials except trace levels of tritium .   
      
   Result - the IAEA assessed the plan and approved it.   
      
   With tritium having a half life of 12 years and being a weak beta   
   emitter this seems eminently reasonable, it is after all released at   
   such levels by many nuclear power plants. I would be very surprised if   
   much larger amounts were released with the loss of USS Thresher and I   
   know the Russians have simply dumped nuclear submarines on the beach in   
   the past !   
      
   A March 1993 Russian government report acknowledged that during the   
   period from 1965 to 1988, the Northern Fleet had dumped four reactor   
   compartments with eight reactors (three containing damaged fuel) in the   
   Abrosimov Gulf in 20 to 40 meters of water.
