I was curious why they don’t evaporate it. That was actually an idea and the reasons why are mentioned in this Reuters article from 2015: reuters.com/…/us-japan-fukushima-water-idUSKBN0MZ…

But basically, it would condense and fall as rain and wouldn’t really be any better, and less control where it ended up. I had hoped maybe they would end up with clean water and a lot of remnants left behind but it sounds like the elements go up with the vapor.

I also found this factoid on Wikipedia: Tritium has leaked from 48 of 65 nuclear sites in the US. Fun!
