TEPCO says the water undergoes five processing stages of co-sedimentation, adsorption and physical filtration. The power-station operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), so far has used what it describes as an advanced liquid-processing system (ALPS) to treat the water. The contaminated water has been collected, treated to reduce the radioactive content and stored in more than 1,000 stainless steel tanks at the site. But others take longer to decay carbon-14, for example, has a half-life of more than 5,000 years. Some of these radionuclides have a relatively short half-life and would already have decayed in the 12 years since the disaster. Of greatest concern are those that could pose a threat to human health: carbon-14, iodine-131, caesium-137, strontium-90, cobalt-60 and hydrogen-3, also known as tritium. Since then, more than 1.3 million cubic metres of seawater have been sprayed onto the damaged cores to keep them from overheating, contaminating the water with 64 radioactive elements, known as radionuclides. The power station exploded after a devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami crippled the coastal plant, overheating the reactor cores. But just how safe is the water to the marine environment and humans across the Pacific region? How is the water contaminated? Starting sometime this year and continuing for the next 30 years, Japan will slowly release treated water stored in tanks at the site into the ocean through a pipeline extending one kilometre from the coast.

Ticket to Paradise is released on 15 September in Australia, 20 September in the UK and 21 September in the US.A TEPCO representative measures radiation levels around the treated water storage tanks in 2018. But I found the wacky double-act of George and Julia slightly hard work. Ticket to Paradise may well do great business to those looking for some escapist fun, and that’s entirely understandable. And it’s a shame that there wasn’t more for Lourd’s character to do. But Roberts’ part is within her skillset and Dever is fine also – although the latter’s performance in Olivia Wilde’s comedy Booksmart showed what she can do with a properly funny script. But I couldn’t help thinking that Nancy Meyers (the master of this kind of thing) would have created more dialogue, more situational intrigue, more comedy, and might have reined in Clooney. And it’s sweet when Georgia and David get drunk with the young couple and insist on playing beer pong in the street and doing embarrassing mum- and dad-dancing to some tunes from yesteryear. Lucas Bravo (from Emily in Paris) has an amusing small part as Paul, the smoothie French airline pilot that Georgia is now dating and who – to David’s intense chagrin – is flying them to Bali. There are one or two likably silly and daft moments in this film. David and Georgia are horrified to receive the wedding invitation and agree on a cessation of hostilities to head out there, on a secret mission to sabotage this hasty marriage and save Lily from the same mistake they made. Lily then heads off for a much-deserved holiday in Bali with her friend Wren (Billie Lourd), and there meets and falls in love with local seaweed farmer Gede (Maxime Bouttier). But now, despite their sizzling mutual irritation, they must come together to attend the college graduation of their daughter Lily (Kaitlyn Dever), who has learned to suffer her parents’ undignified outbursts and immature tantrums with each other. They were college sweethearts who got married way too early and split unhappily after the birth of their only child. This may be to the unease of those who like him in a more sophisticated low-key style, such as in Ocean’s Eleven or Up in the Air, or those who look to the Coens to rein in and shape his broader comedy tendencies, as in O Brother, Where Art Thou? or Intolerable Cruelty.Ĭlooney plays David, a prosperous man in middle age who is divorced from high-flying art dealer Georgia this is Julia Roberts. Clooney brings some serious goof: he does his goofy face and the goof is onstream more or less from the outset. George Clooney goes into his goofy comedy routine in this feelmoderate romcom from director and co-writer Ol Parker: an intergenerational tale of Crazy Rich Americans going to a wedding.
