Half of US rivers too sick for fish.

Fukushima underground storage pool appears to have lost almost 32K gal of toxic water. Thousands more could seep out before it can be pumped dry. Unclear how much made it through 3 layers of lining to reach soil but radiation levels outside pool have risen, indicating leakage into soil.
