Japan dumped radioactive water into pacific ocean on monday. 11,500 tons of radioactive water that has collected at the nuclear facility will be dumped into the sea. The dumping of so much radioactive water into the ocean conjures up fears of mutated sea life and contamination of the human food chain, but experts said the radiation will be quickly diluted, minimizing risk. It's a considerable amount of water, but the immensity of the Pacific Ocean will quickly dilute this amount of water to harmless levels.
