#1 It has said it plans to remove all radioactive particles from the water except tritium, an isotope of hydrogen that is hard to separate and is considered to be relatively harmless.
They are going to have to do something with the water before it leaks out to the sea, possibly in another earthquake. The Japanese fishing industry isn't happy about this either and will be watching the government closely.

#2 I would think that if they decide to release the waste water to the sea, that they build a long HDPE pipe outfall to very deep water for proper dilution.
Do it in a couple of years and you would be pumping 16,000 gpm for 2 years through a 40 in pipe at 2 ft/second
