I don't see, read or heart that this Water from the cooling Cycle was dumped to the Ocean,
you are using here a Tepconese/ Orwellian Language which is symptomatic for you!
ALPS is still in a phase of Testing and it will work soon for sure.

"On 9/26/2013, Tepco announced reactor5 and 6 pump up 6,000 tones of seawater from the plant port per hour. The water is used to cool down the reactors, and it’s discharged to the outside of the plant port."
"From Tepco’s own report published this August, it was 7,000 m3/hour instead of 6,000 tones/hour."

Thanks to Aircooled! Tepconese? Is that what they call it when TEPCO speaks with forked tongue?
Tepco resumes water filtration at Fukushima nuke plant
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said Monday it has resumed test operations of the new high-tech water treatment system at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, following its suspension late last week.
.......
The system has three lines, A, B and C. The C line is the one that developed the latest glitch.
.......
ALPS is intended to remove most radioactive materials from contaminated water and is expected to play a crucial role in the utility’s fight against the toxic water continuing to accumulate at the crippled nuclear plant. ALPS was restarted on a trial basis after midnight Thursday and had processed around 100 tons of toxic water before the suspension.
TOKYO — Japan’s flagging anti-nuclear movement received an unexpected new recruit when one of the nation’s most popular figures, former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, made a very public about-face from his previous embrace of atomic power.
...........
Mr. Koizumi, who as a pro-growth prime minister from 2001 to 2006 had backed the business lobby by calling for Japan to become “a nation built on nuclear power,” said in Tuesday’s speech that he had reversed his stance after the Fukushima nuclear accident two years ago, which left at least 83,000 people homeless and forced a multibillion-dollar cleanup.
“There is nothing more costly than nuclear power,” Mr. Koizumi, 71, was quoted as saying, in a refutation of his earlier embrace of nuclear power as cheap and clean. As prime minister in 2005, Mr. Koizumi had also sided with utility companies like Tokyo Electric Power Co., the operator of the stricken Fukushima Daiichi plant, in deciding to end tax-funded subsidies for solar panels. .
Some political sources say Koizumi is simply expressing his true feelings about nuclear power. But others point to a political motive behind this anti-nuclear stance.
They say Koizumi may be trying to protect, albeit indirectly, the Abe administration and even the party he once famously vowed to “destroy.”
Abe, who was groomed to be prime minister during the days of the Koizumi administration, appears to be listening. Koizumi, who was prime minister from 2001 to 2006, stunned an audience on Sept. 24 during a forum in Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills commercial complex commemorating the 50th anniversary of the publication of the business magazine President.
“Since retiring (from politics), I have had more opportunities recently to speak with business leaders rather than Diet members. During such discussions, I often hear comments that Japan cannot grow without any nuclear power plants or that calling for zero nuclear power plants is irresponsible,” Koizumi, 71, said in a speech. “However, I studied what experts have said until now about nuclear energy being safe, clean and inexpensive, and I harbored doubts.
“I wonder if human beings can really control nuclear energy. I have now become an advocate calling for zero nuclear plants and urge politicians to make that decision as quickly as possible.”

C'mon,
you cant compare the first Weeks after the Tsunami with the Time later,
what happened in the first Time happened because there was no other choices,
the Plant needed Cooling and everything else was "Destroyed"!
Since the Cooling Circle got reestablished no Water at all was dumped.
JP Gov doubts the reliability of Tepco’s radiation measurement / Nuclear Regulatory Agency to send inspectors
On 9/30/2013, Nuclear Regulation Authority commented they are planning to send inspectors to Tepco’s radiation measurement site in the working group meeting for the contaminated water in Fukushima nuclear plant. NRA has been doubting the reliability of Tepco’s nuclide analysis. Also, in mid September, Tepco discharged the “rainwater” retained in the tank areas due to the Typhoon. However, they took only 5 minutes to analyze Cesium-134/137 of the sample to check if it’s really rainwater, which NRA found questionable about the quality. NRA commented the inspectors from Nuclear Regulatory Agency are going to see them analyzing the samples actually.
