One of the meltdowns at Fukushima in 2011 from the Tsunami and Earthquake was reprocessing Weapons grade Plutonium by the way. So, this is now continuing to wash slowly into the ocean because technologically there is no permanent way to prevent this getting into the water table there and going into the ocean slowly or quickly.
begin quote:
Weapons-grade plutonium is defined as containing no more than 7% 240Pu; this is achieved by only exposing 238U to neutron sources for short periods of time to minimize the 240Pu
produced. Plutonium is classified according to the percentage of the
contaminant plutonium-240 that it contains: Supergrade 2–3%
