    You’ll get more radiation climbing a mountain or taking an airplane ride than drinking water just off the coast where it’s being released.

      Oh. That’s great to know. I thought it was more serious considering other countries were banning imports from those regions.

      Great so maybe Japan should use that water for internal consumption then? Obviously they won’t do that, so can’t complain when other countries are uncomfortable with it.

        Obviously they won’t do that,

        Are you basing that statement on a source or do you have some information on that? Or are you just guessing based on your own emotions, over how you wouldn’t do that?

          You wouldn’t need scientific proof that most people wouldn’t eat shit either. It’s a reasonable assumption given that after all their analysis, meetings, debates etc their solution is to dump it into the ocean and not for internal consumption. This move is bad for their international pr, so logically if there is a better/more accepted option they would have chose it. Unless you are telling me that this decision is more likely made in vacuum and the decision makers are not very smart.
