TOKYO (Kyodo) -- The operator of the crisis-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant said Monday it aims to halve the amount of groundwater flowing into the reactor buildings by building about a dozen pumping wells.

The groundwater currently gets mixed with highly radioactive water accumulating inside the reactor buildings and adjacent reactor turbine buildings, resulting in an increase in the total amount of contaminated water at the plant.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. thus wants to use the wells to direct part of the groundwater into the Pacific Ocean, likely to be about 1,000 tons per day, before all of the groundwater flows into the reactor buildings and elsewhere.

I read this and wondered where is it going now? If I understood correctly the amount of ground water would  be reduced to 1000 tons per day. So is that saying in other words, at this time they are dumping 2,000 tons per day? Then since Japan is glowing, what is an acceptable level of radiation to them sure as h*ll isn't my acceptable level, which by the way is none!
