Why you are wrong if you think Fukushima wastewater is normal (and should feel bad for falling for it) (hexbear.net)

Tritium is a red herring strontium and carbon-14 are in this shit

This filtration method is not verified by the same testing as other projects releasing diluted tritium water. Those comparisons are inaccurate as this is a contamination cleanup site, not a nuclear power plant. Water was directly in contact with the molten core it's all nasty now 😓

Can you please provide some source for the strontium and carbon-14? I want to do more reading about this. Besides the IAEA report, most testaments come from physicists, who are not marine biologist or ecologists.

I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't generally dump stuff into the ocean, it is not ours to touch, but instead home to a different world of vastly many species we don't know of. I think they are monitoring marine species over time, but I feel like this whole thing is misguided anthropocentrism and if in 2 or 3 decades, there is deviation to marine ecosystems, this whole ordeal was not worth it.

IAEA is also a complete Western tool like almost all other international organizations

Again really weird how so many people chose to trust them here

Just let them revert to their old selves. Better they show their hand on this issue rather than a more directly damaging one
