Starlord Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I got some Megabars to hand out for Halloween. They come in packs of 3. Unless you get the mini-Megabars, then it's a bag of 24. We just got regular size and some candy corn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archer Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Japan to release over one million tonnes of Fukushima's contaminated water into sea Any such release is expected to take at around two years to prepare, as the site's irradiated water first needs to pass through a filtration process before it can be further diluted with seawater and finally released into the ocean. In 2018, Tokyo Electric apologised after admitting its filtration systems had not removed all dangerous material from the water It plans to remove all radioactive particles from the water except tritium, an isotope of hydrogen that is hard to separate and is considered to be relatively harmless. It is common practice for nuclear plants around the world to release water that contain traces of tritium into the ocean. https://news.trust.org/item/20201016050049-72un1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
