There is a lot of dangerous, radioactive water inside Fukushima,
as TEPCO struggles to keep the fuel rods from burning up. Water
accumulates—TEPCO estimates there are 67,000 tons of irradiated
water inside. How much water is that? 67,000 tons is a tricky
amount to visualize—but it's enough to fill 27 Olympic-sized
swimming pools. Splish splash. Makes it a bit easier to wrap
your head around just how difficult of a problem TEPCO faces in
disposing of this stuff. Let's hope they think of something
better than just dumping it into the ocean.
