Can someone with knowledge chime in to tell how bad that is? I don't trust this article or China for that matter.
Here's the IAEA report: https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/iaea_comprehensive_alps_report.pdf
I'm also curious about how much discharge nuclear generators normally produce. If they discharge a certain amount as part of normal operation then it seems to me to also become a function of how many nuclear generators are being operated globally.
seems like might be worse than the report lets on https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/24/fukushima-fish-with-180-times-legal-limit-of-radioactive-cesium-fuels-water-release-fears
Hasn’t got anything to do with this release. Clearly radiative material was received during the accident. That will have made it into the food chain and some fish living near plant will have absorbed some.
This release is about the gradual release of treated water which is measured to be below the existing limit.
I guess we'll see what things look like once it happens.
Then I guess it's a good thing that this is Japan we are talking about.
I'm fairly confident they were referring to the criticism from China FTA, but you'd need to read past the headline for that context so...
Yes that was it. Chinas comments have been over the top for a bunch of issues in the past, there's no reason to just presume their stance has merit.
Especially since they are starting fires again rn regarding Taiwan and Japan in different context.
