Japanese official drinks Fukushima water!

I think the BBC reporting of this is probably sloppy. I very much doubt this is water that has been used to 'hose down' the damaged reactors. Rather it is probably water that has been building up at the basement of reactor buildings 5 & 6, reactors which did not meltdown. So its not highly contaminated water that has been decontaminated and is then normally reinjeted into the reactors. It's slightly-contaminated groundwater that has been processed and then sprayed around the site. I mentioned this water a little while back because obviously some people are not happy that its been sprayed around the site, but its not the really bad water. I still wouldn't want to drink it though.
