Especially now that they’ve started releasing tritiated water into the ocean for the next 20-50 years or whatever the fuck the plan is supposed to be.

the tritiated water is no-more concentrated than what other power plants around the world release. (the latter may be surprising to know) In addition, tritium has a half-life of only 12.3 years and is diluted in a literal sea, which is an extremely good radiation shield.

yeah. This is all very true, but like most dilutions, things take time, and it'll be interesting to follow the dilution process as it moves forwards. From what i understand the tritiated water is also released farther out form the shore to prevent local pollution, but i believe there are still elevated levels of radiation in sea life surrounding the shore. Though i can't remember if that was significant or not. Regardless, humans consume fish, it's something to be weary of to some degree (i believe there are laws around this already though)

Also, last i heard, they were handing out bottles of this tritiated water during a press conference they gave near the plant. Definitely not in accordance with regulations and stipulations recommending how you interact with this type of radiation, but then again, flying in for that press conference is going to expose you to more radiation anyway so.

BTW, fun fact for anyone curious as to why they don't just "remove the water" It's because tritiated water is so closely related to your average water molecule, that it's basically identical from a molecular composition point of view (except for the fact that it has tritium in it) as a result, there is no way of removing it. Or, an easy way of removing it.

Who is doing the control TEPCO ? So we are safe 🙈

i think tepco the government, and the regular suspects in the international agencies.

Japan for what it's worth has a culture that is pretty strict about these sorts of things, so i can't imagine they would blunder this one.

The radiation near shore will also have any residual from the initial tsunami.
