A quick calculation on Wolfram Alpha shows that it would be 292,000,000 L Which would fill 116 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

- ovi256 13y agoThanks, I can totally visualize that arbitrary number of Olympic pools now!
- a_bonobo 13y agoWikipedia says: >The volume of the Atlantic with its adjacent seas is 354,700,000 cubic kilometers 1 cubic kilometer is 1 000 000 000 000 liters, so 354,700,000 cubic kilometers is 354,700,000,000,000,000,000 l. 1 ton of water is 907 l water, and Fukushima leaks 450 tons a day, that's 408,150 l. Divided and multiplied by 100 that's 1.3*10^(-13)%. Keep in mind, as I said above, that this water itself is a dilution of radioactivity.
