Good! This water poses less of a radioactive danger than the ocean it will drain into.
Really easy test to check if the water is polluted or not, have the ceos and politicians drink it for a year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.#Leaded_gasoline
On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for 60 seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems.[7][13] However, the State of New Jersey ordered the Bayway plant to be closed a few days later, and Jersey Standard was forbidden to manufacture TEL again without state permission. Production was restarted in 1926 after intervention by the federal government. High-octane fuel, enabled by lead, was important to the military. Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.[14]
Not saying the Fukushima discharge is not safe (the radiation level is very low and the dilution factor of 500 swimming pools worth vs the whole ocean is huge), just that some folks will risk self-injury for profits.
The sky is really huge too

Don’t cut yourself with those edges.
If they still have power plants then maybe this water is okay to cool down the rods as it is already radioactive.
Yay, that’ll fix that pesky climate problem!..

Edit for the downvoters, you do realize the /s means sarcasm right?

Yeah, they once said that about radium, uranium, etc. Decades later they’re like fuck, we were wrong, this is toxic dangerous stuff.
So what, let’s just keep playing games with nature? How you think we ended up in the situation we’re in with the climate today?
In the past couple centuries we’ve made many advancements, and many mistakes. We’ve also made a whole lot more people since then, and people are a huge catalyst for this changing climate.
Go ahead, name me even one other species on this planet that requires all this energy production to survive…
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Science has been wrong before, on very dangerous levels they couldn’t even grasp. Do you really trust when current science says tritium is “safe”?..

Our climate is more than just the air, water and temperature, it’s everything in our environment. If that happens to include excess radioactive materials that might cause cancer, is that not also part of your climate and habitat?
But hey, let’s not worry about it. We need to harvest all the energy of the planet and wonder why it’s so damn hot…
I think the confusion might come from a misunderstanding of what the word climate means. Climate is defined as the “long-term pattern of weather” in an area. Cancer isn’t really a product of bad climate, and this won’t create long term radioactive storms.

You’re downvoted because this has negible impact on anything. The water released barely contains any radiation at all. Also, did you know that a truck full of bananas is radioactive enough to trigger a false alarm on a radiation detector looking for smuggled nuclear weapons?
