Sigh. People need to educate themselves on radiation. Its not overly complex and it's actually really interesting. There's no threat here, bananas are more dangerous.
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.
- 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.
  
  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.
Seemingly for good reason.
- Absolutely not, the water is not contaminated legally anymore, its below background radiation levels and will be Diluted as well.
  
  Yeah, it's just a popular tactic for politicians to scare people then show that they are working on something to mitigate the "threat". Immigrants, muslims, the jew, the non believers, the radiation (but not the pollution bcs it is a money maker) etc etc
- People don’t understand radiation. The water has been treated
