Chinese artist' cartoon on the water release.
Completely irrational. The water contains parts per billion tritium which is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen. It has no observed consequences compared to, for example,

India and US shoould take the contaminated water back home and consume them for the good of the world then.Completely irrational. The water contains parts per billion tritium which is a naturally occurring isotope of hydrogen. It has no observed consequences compared to, for example,

Definitely that water from Pacific Ocean will make its way to us here on West coast and eventually all the waters of the world since they are connected. Tritium has a half-life of 12 years. I will be drinking that water fairly soon, even without going to Asia.

You haven't figured out the difference between nuclear wastewater and nuclear polluted water at all.
Presently, this is the Tritium discharge worldwide:
Annual discharge of tritium from some nuclear facilities
| Location | Nuclear facility | Closest waters | Liquid (TBq) | Steam (TBq) | Total (TBq) | Total (mg) | year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heysham nuclear power station B | Irish Sea | 396 | 2.1 | 398 | 1,115 | 2019 |
|
| Sellafield reprocessing facility | Irish Sea | 423 | 56 | 479 | 1,342 | 2019 |
| Cernavodă Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 | Black Sea | 140 | 152 | 292 | 872 | 2018 |
| La Hague reprocessing plant | English Channel | 11,400 | 60 | 11,460 | 32,100 | 2018 |
| Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant | Sea of Japan | 107 | 80.9 | 188 | 671 | 2020 |
| Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant | Luzon Strait | 35 | 9.4 | 44 | 123 | 2015 |
| Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant | Taiwan Strait | 52 | 0.8 | 52 | 146 | 2020 |

| Sanmen Nuclear Power Station | East China Sea | 20 | 0.4 | 20 | 56 | 2020 |
| Bruce Nuclear Generating Station A, B | Great Lakes | 756 | 994 | 1,750 | 4,901 | 2018 |
|
| Darlington Nuclear Generating Station | Great Lakes | 220 | 210 | 430 | 1,204 | 2018 |
|
| Pickering Nuclear Generating Station Units 1-4 | Great Lakes | 140 | 300 | 440 | 1,232 | 2015 |
| Diablo Canyon Power Plant Units1, 2 | Pacific Ocean | 82 | 2.7 | 84 | 235 | 2019 |
Fukushima will release 2100 milligrams of Tritium in total. That is less than 5% of what is being discharged by reactors now every year.

Dont focus on Tritium. Its about all those transuranics.
There are radiation everywhere. Important thing is exposure within a short time frame and ingestion dossage.
They have taken out all ions except C14 and tritium (3H); because.
(a) They can't be removed in any practical way
(b) They are harmless in the dilution that occurs in ocean discharge.

Good luck then.
Eat more seafood!

This is completely lying. It is not as if Japan set up nuclear waste water processing plant beside Fukushima.
They use a blunt way, just pump waste water out to the sea.

If it's clean for human consumption, they can release it in their farmlands.

U.S. envoy to eat fish in Fukushima, back release of nuke plant water
U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel will visit a city in Japan's northeastern prefecture of Fukushima on Aug. 31 to demonstrate support for Tokyo's decision to discharge treated radioactive water from a crippled nuclear plant there into the Pacific Ocean
U.S. ambassador to Japan will publicly eat Fukushima fish in a show of support amid radioactive water release outrage
I think he should do that for next few decades to prove it's alright.
