[__ Science __ ] 2 oceans won't mix

[Truthfrees]

this is very interesting - i didn't know this was possible

water of 2 oceans won't mix and you can see where they meet

 

[jasonc]

Also the gulf of Mexico won't .irc

Also the gulf of Mexico won't .irc

amazing thanks

they have about 10 seas and oceans in the video that won't mix - pretty amazing to see the science behind why

 

[jasonc]

Salinty levels is one .

 

[daninthelionsden]

Hopefully that means Fukushima turns only one ocean to wormwood and not all.

Please,read up,on,radiation levels ,its not even close to,that .

The fear of nukes power but adoration of solar and electric cars despite ,that neodymium leaves radiation in its creation in water is strange

I do know the active practice of dumping the accumulated radioactive waste water cannot be good.

They don't irradiate water and then dump it.

The water used inside of reactors is pure water with no dissolved minerals or salts... because pure water can't become radioactive...

Now this pure water can be used to heat other water...but it's not contaminated with radioactivity whatsoever...heat maybe...but nothing radioactive.

Now the only way that water becomes contaminated is if dissolved minerals or salts are in water exposed...as in pools containing spent fuel rods.
But these minerals are easily removed...just like drinking water is purified. Many ways to collect them.

So I have no idea what you are talking about with dumping radioactive water.
Where does this stuff accumulate?
How is is contaminated?
Even the sewage from drinking fountains is highly monitored at Nuke plants...it's ridiculous...every tree numbered and inventoried.
What you are saying isn't possible. About a thousand people would have to be bribed to keep quiet.
Which is why I won't work in a Nuke plant...too many people are needed to coordinate and inspect anything. I'll usually run @ 60' of pipe in @90 minutes in a normal environment. In a Nuke plant you had a great week if you ran that much. (You won't)

All report tritium laced water being dumped because they've run out of space and the amount( something like 1 million+ tons) is unmanageable. Youtube has videos. Type it in anywhere. Easy to find.

That's a marker and its. Not harmful ,it used to see if there's a leak

Tritium, like deuterium, can be used for a fusion bomb.
It's fairly stable stuff.
It occurs naturally in nature...it isn't common but it isn't harmful either. Unlike several other elements used extensively. Arsenic, lead derivatives, and Mercury.

Heavy water is toxic upon massive consumptions,the amount is large ,1.5 gallons ,aka deuterium .

THAT is a relief!

This is two oceans meeting where I live. It's nothing great just a bit of wash.

Pacific ocean and Tasman sea.

As you can see from the image above you cannot see any tall buildings on the horizon, so, the earth is not flat. You can get the worlds best pair of binoculars and have a look if you like, even a mighty telescope.

Actually, that's how a hydrogen bomb works. There's a tiny, tiny amount of radioactive hydrogen in water molecules which if collected, can be rather dangerous. But water can't "catch" radioactivity from radioactive elements, which is what you clearly meant.

It's been years since I have had to know this stuff...but there was fusion and fission. Fusion is a "cleaner" explosion with a small radioactive core afterwards but huge burst of radioactivity (tac nukes)and fission is dirty everywhere.

This is what I found just from a cursory search:

It's Really OK If Japan Dumps Radioactive Fukushima Water Into The Ocean

Slowly releasing Fukushima tritium-contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean is a very good idea. No other radioactive elements are in the water and tritium just isn’t very radioactive - it self-dilutes in water really quickly, even in our bodies, making it impossible to harm anyone or anything.

Fukushima: Japan will have to dump radioactive water into Pacific, minister says

More than a million tonnes of contaminated water lies in storage but power company says it will run out of space by 2022

www.theguardian.com

Fukushima is running out of space to store contaminated water. Japan's environment minister said the 'only option' is to dump it in the ocean.

Dumping contaminated water into the ocean could damage Japan's local fishing economy. Contamination could also travel to South Korea's coast.

www.businessinsider.com

So, it's still controversial, and there are both positives and negatives about it. Can't see that anyone else is contaminating sea water with radioactive material, as Fukushima seems the only one in headlines.

Concerning oceans mixing, here is a map of ocean currents:

So, I can't see how oceans can't mix. They may be coming to false conclusions, since they don't even mention deep ocean currents, and it's easy to photoshop colors. They spend a lot of time on rivers that don't mix for awhile, but that doesn't support their conclusion about oceans IMO.

Anyone with discussion on how this plays out scientifically?

He already did...look through past posts so you can catch up.

Ok, but I didn't see any of these pertinent links in any of the posts. Anyway, this became a side issue, as the OP is addressing oceans mixing, and that's 1/2 of my post. Also, sorry you responded so fast and didn't get to see my edits.
