    Fukushima water

    Japanese authorities are reportedly planning to release into the sea over a million tons of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was struck by a tsunami in 2011. Local fishermen are not thrilled, as they have spent years trying to rebuild trust in their catch. If the release goes ahead, it will start in 2022 at the earliest and take decades to complete.

    Its ok, just don't eat fish for somewhere between 5 and 5700 years.

    Radioactive Isotopes, yum yum.

    That's a very poor idea for a nation that lives off fish.

    AS far as I know they are doing it all the time with all their other power plants

    The other plants its just uncontaminated cooling water. It does cause thermal polution but that's it no radioactive isotopes.

    The release at fukushima will be statistically safe or the wouldn't do it. The Japanese are very environmentally conscious. They will using dilution, and the release will be done so slowly that the level of isotopes will be harmless. The publicity will be bad for the local fishermen however. They will prove the fish are safe by checking them for radioactive isotopes.
