No detectable amount of tritium has been found in fish samples taken from waters near the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, where the discharge of treated radioactive water into the sea began a month ago, the government said Monday.
Tritium was not detected in the latest sample of two olive flounders caught Sunday, the Fisheries Agency said on its website. The agency has provided almost daily updates since the start of the water release, in a bid to dispel harmful rumors both domestically and internationally about its environmental impact.
The results of the first collected samples were published Aug. 9, before the discharge of treated water from the complex commenced on Aug. 24. The water had been used to cool melted nuclear fuel at the plant but has undergone a treatment process that removes most radionuclides except tritium.
Why do you specify lefties? Is there something unique about South Korean politics that make their left-wing reject science as much as everyone else’s right-wing?
Anti-nuclear has been mostly a left thing in the US at least despite the clean energy movement including many of the same people.
Same with the “not in my backyard” mentality. NIMBYs love all these new green technologies, so long as they all happen far away from them.
Uhh… no it hasn’t.
I’m genuinely curious why you think that’s the case.

Please read. I’m leftist, but part of that is recognizing these issues. Anti-nuclear has largely been a left thing. The right only does it to protect fossil fuels.
Korean left-wing has been constantly making conspiracies and propagandas rejecting scientific evidences.
List goes on and on and on…
Why do they do this?
Is their right-wing more reasonable, or even more insane?
Considering how these kind of anti-intellectuallism and nationalism is pretty much left thing in here, yeah
