Japan said on Tuesday it will start releasing more than 1 million metric tonnes of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant on Aug. 24, putting into motion a plan that has drawn strong criticism from China.

    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 by professionals and officials. The only problem is that it’s 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.

      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…
