It's not like the scientific community isn't divided on the release of the wastewater, just that the release of tritium is probably not the biggest concern.
There's still concern about the custom-designed ALPS system and the trace contaminants it may leave, which WILL bioaccumulate. Plus, Tepco hasn't really been known for, y'know, prioritizing health and safety over profit.
If the computer vision model can't detect edges around a human-shaped object, that's usually a dataset issue or a sensor (data collection) issue... And it sure as hell isn't a sensor issue because humans do the task just fine.
Ah yes, because all humans are equally bad drivers.
A self-driving car shouldn't compete with the average human because the average human is a fucking idiot. A self-driving car should drive better than a good driver, or else you're just putting more idiots on the road.
Trains in California suck because of government dysfunction across all levels. At the municipal level, you can't build shit because every city is actually an agglomeration of hundreds of tiny municipalities that all squabble with each other. At the regional level, you get NIMBYism that doesn't want silly things like trains knocking down property values... And these people have a voice, because democracy I guess (despite there being a far larger group of people that would love to have trains). At the state level, you have complete funding mismanagement and project management malfeasance that makes projects both incredibly expensive and developed with no forethought whatsoever (Caltrain has how many at-grade crossings, again?).
This isn't a train problem, it's a problem with your piss-poor government. At least crime is down, right?
Ah yes, because the only danger of nuclear meltdown industrial wastewater is tritium.
One big concern is that the ALPS system is imperfect: it supposedly removes other radioactive contaminants to within legal limits, but those legal limits ARE higher than that of seawater. The ALPS has also been custom-designed for this project: it is a bespoke system that hasn't been tested in production.
Plus, this is coming from the same private entity that mismanaged the Fukushima plant enough to cause the disaster... How much faith do you have in them to not fuck up again? Tepco's optimizing for their bottom line, not for what's best for society.
The NSA has been spying on German officials, the US government poured hundreds of billions of dollars on the F-35 project to stymie everyone else's domestic fighter programs, aggressively subsidizes American agriculture for export, and may arbitrarily institute aggressive tariffs that harm the economies of its allies.
The US has shown a willingness to bully Canada in trade and ignore international consensus on topics like our softwood exports. The recent US-Canada trade war under the Trump administration has also hampered trade in what SHOULD BE one of the most coupled economies in the world.
A tightly-coupled economic relationship with the US is a double-edged sword when the whims of the country seem to flip-flop every 4 years.
But he does think that non-tritium contaminates missed by the ALPS system could build up over time near the shore.
"Nearshore in Japan could be affected in the long term because of accumulation of non-tritium forms of radioactivity," he says. That could ultimately hurt fisheries in the area.
Wall Street Journal is Russian propaganda, haven't you heard? Anyone convincing you otherwise is part of a Russian psyop.
