Hong Kong leader John Lee on Tuesday said the city will ban seafood products from a large number of Japanese prefectures if Tokyo goes ahead with a plan to discharge treated radioactive water from the crippled Fukushima plant into the ocean.
I wonder how bad this is going to be. I hope my country starts checking for radioactivity in fish imported. Considering that some fish can travel quite far I wouldn’t be surprised if the ones from anywhere near Japan and close countries could have unsafe levels of radiation.
I read some article last week mentioning that the advanced filtering system for water was practically useless. Hopefully I just understood it wrong.
Great so maybe Japan should use that water for internal consumption then? Obviously they won’t do that, so can’t complain when other countries are uncomfortable with it.
Are you basing that statement on a source or do you have some information on that? Or are you just guessing based on your own emotions, over how you wouldn’t do that?
You wouldn’t need scientific proof that most people wouldn’t eat shit either. It’s a reasonable assumption given that after all their analysis, meetings, debates etc their solution is to dump it into the ocean and not for internal consumption. This move is bad for their international pr, so logically if there is a better/more accepted option they would have chose it. Unless you are telling me that this decision is more likely made in vacuum and the decision makers are not very smart.

You’ll get more radiation climbing a mountain or taking an airplane ride than drinking water just off the coast where it’s being released.
Oh. That’s great to know. I thought it was more serious considering other countries were banning imports from those regions.
Basically the same logic was applied when Germans voted to decomission their nuclear plants.
