This is such a weird nothingburger. Not very radioactive water released in a massive ocean. Will have no effect on anything.
Years and years of fear mongering without any decent explanation on why it’s not that big of a deal.
Can we stop that BS finally?
There are explanations after explanations given by professionals and officials. The only problem is that these very explanations are ignored by the media and activists.
I meant explanation by the mainstream media to the general public, it is severely lacking and it’s probably on purpose.
Oh, yes, sorry.
I guess it’s easy for them to complain forever. They can forever say it’s not enough, and that appeals to the ignorants.
In the same manner, Japanese media fail women by fearmongering on cancer vaccines. It’s very much like the US right wing media echo-chamber the Clintons and Hunter Biden.
Huh that’s interesting… do you have examples of the Japanese media doing that? I’ve never heard that before.
Thanks for asking. The problem is so severe there’s a scholarly article on that:

Oh wow… it’s really upsetting that a vaccine that can literally cure cancer is cast in such a light.
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, that’s why Japan is saying they’ll support the fishermen even if it’s takes decades to recover from this, right? I mean, it could be. If they expect nothing to happen, then that’s the cheapest method of taking care of them…
I was curious why they don’t evaporate it. That was actually an idea and the reasons why are mentioned in this Reuters article from 2015: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-japan-fukushima-water-idUSKBN0MZ0WC20150408
But basically, it would condense and fall as rain and wouldn’t really be any better, and less control where it ended up. I had hoped maybe they would end up with clean water and a lot of remnants left behind but it sounds like the elements go up with the vapor.
I also found this factoid on Wikipedia: Tritium has leaked from 48 of 65 nuclear sites in the US. Fun!

There’s enough misinformation and fearmongering on the topic, that jokes probably do more harm than good.
