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.
Honestly, I wouldn’t trust anything TEPCO says further than I can collectively throw the entire company when it comes to health and safety.
