[News] Japan to release 1m+ tonnes of radioactive water into the sea

[Is it PotG?]

Water

Swim anyone?

Water way to have a good time - I’ll drink to that. Cheers!

Fluorescent sushi... what could go wrong

The water will have had most radioactive contaminants removed, with the remaining Tritium, that is very difficult to remove diluted to a level that is very safe, much much lower than an x-ray would give you, it would make up about 0.05% of the radiation you receive annually if you came into contact with it. Not as low a level as is permitted in drinking water, but once it is dumped into the ocean it would soon become much much more dilute and it poses no real risk.

Is the nasty stuff removed by rinsing it in sea water?

Have they not seen the Godzilla movies?

What about the fish?

Somebody needs to consider the gish.

Bearing in mind the amount of sh*t our illustrious water companies flush into our rivers and seas every year, I think I'd rather take my chances with the Japanese!

After a while, it would fallout of fashion.

I've read some glowing reports about Japanese water Management.

Unlike the shit stirrers we have.

I imagine it’s already an issue. I was part of a global team and our colleague in Japan spent a good few weeks in hospital with a sushi related illness, partly because of mercury the fish had ingested or something

I know. It took some scrolling before I finally saw a Godzilla reference, was expecting it first reply
