“If people eat this kind of contaminated food, it will affect the health of millions and millions of people, for many, many years.” Observers say Japan’s discharging of nuclear-contaminated water into the ocean may pose long-term threats to human health and the marine environment.
Yeah. Theoretically, the water that’s being released has been processed to remove all the nasty stuff though, all that remains is low concentrations of tritium. I don’t know the precise details of Russia, China, and Korea’s official concerns, but I suspect they’re very concerned with the possibility that unprocessed wastewater could end up being dumped, intentionally or unintentionally.
