No anomalies detected in fish samples after Fukushima water release

Indeed. Let them have tiffy fit. It's been a long hot summer you see

No anomalies detected in fish samples after Fukushima water release

Because mutant won't come just in one night.

A world full of brown ups acting like children and spoiled brats at that. Why can’t we all just get on and stop this nonsense?

Not yet, you clowns.

If you actually read the article you'll see that it is the only level headed one around at the moment. No hysteria, no blaming. Just the facts of what will happen.

Brown ups. Lol. It's past your bedtime. Lol.

Of course no abnormalities…. They have not released the entire pool yet. Too early yet….

Those of us who ALWAYS follow the science - and, yes, who are intelligent - knew all along the release would be 100% safe.

It is only the mentally challenged and/or Japan haters who have any doubts.

Higher concentrations of tritium occur naturally in the world's oceans. Tritium is formed in the upper atmosphere when cosmic rays strike nitrogen molecules. Tritium, like every other gas in the atmosphere, is absorbed into oceans, lakes and any other body of surface water in proportion to it's partial pressure in the atmosphere. The amount of tritium at Fukushima is a trivial addition to the amounts already in the ocean. And obtw, tritium levels in the ocean were far higher than they are today back in the 1950s and 1960s when nuclear weapons were being tested above ground. This whole thing is a lot of noise about nothing.

Test the other radioactive isotopes, not tritium.

Perhaps the focus is too much on the water release. The basic problem is that there is risk and will be risks when consuming seafood products from Fukushima regardless of the contaminated water release.

Don’t bother me I’m carefree and I’m nit gong to eat fish from this region day and night every day and who else is?

We will continue to eat fish. Many are local from Harima-nada, but also Hokkaido, and Aomori. I don't see Fukushima fish in West Hyogo.

wallace

Don’t see around here either old top. It’s all a big fuss about nothing, like many things these days.

I don't see Fukushima fish in West Hyogo.

Interestingly, in our Ito Yokado, we got shrimp from Taiwan. My missus jumped up and down and scared our son, bless. Makes a smashing prawn cocktail. Just like beside the seaside you see

No detectable amount of tritium was found in the first fish samples taken in waters near the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant,

…

So, no tritium in the sea is the implication here, right?

Well, as there is plenty of tritium from other sources not only the Fukushima discharge then that (above) statement is a complete lie.

Could not have put it better. Change of life for the better.

You need to test a year later for it to mean anything

You wouldn’t expect there to be after a couple of days. Give it six months and see if the results are the same.

People worrying about his when they eat junk all the time. If obese you should work far more about that than this

Its terrible these days the fear mongering of things that are unlikely to cause any harm.

It takes time.

Let's see results in a month.

Then we're good to go. No more testing needed. Ever.

Lets be honest. Even if they find "anomalies" in a few months, years, they won't admit they're Fukushima related. Even the clowns that were responsible for the Minamata crisis took years to admit the truth.

Obviously! BTW China released a lot more than Japan and nothing was said about it, no protests, NOTHING!!!

It frankly doesn't matter. It's the perception.

At this point for some it doesn’t matter if it’s really contaminated or not, it’s the peace of mind.

If given a choice, would you buy Japanese fish or fish from other countries.

The Japanese seafood, every time.

The majority of the world is desperate for Japanese seafood and produce due to the unbelievable taste and quality. Only the Japan hating nations ie Japan's neighbors, would disagree.

Just because radioactive levels appear limited so far does not mean the seafood is safe. Radioactivity takes time to build up. Japanese seafood will soak up enough tritium over time to be unedible. The only question is how long this will take. Any thinking person will avoid Japanese seafood foever. This will be a critical blow to the Asia economy. Very bad decision.

Seafood will absorb increasing levels of tritium over time. The seafood will gradually becone increasingly radioactive.

Why anyone would ever eat Japan seafood after this is beyond me.

I sadly predict the continued release of tritium into Japanese waters will eventually irradiate its off shore sealife creating the worst ecological disaster in Asia—ever.

I think the seafood will be fine. If you’re not in your developmental years, it probably won’t have much effect on you. I’ve had around 100 x-rays dating back to the early 1960s, and so far, so good.

Its [sic] terrible these days the fear mongering of things that are unlikely to cause any harm.

Quite true, ol’ top. People tend to get triggered by things like this as well as other trivial points such as another person’s dietary choices, mask-wearing habits, and even a movie about a doll. This can lead to OCD in commenting and a low PMS.

YET! Anyway I guess if the accumulation of Chinese, Korean and Japanese nuclear water dumping continues, I wonder if there MAY be the same effect not too dissimilar to the ocean dumping of mercury on the food chain over the decades, as it builds up to the point some fish shouldn't be eaten by pregnant women. But it does seem as though the CCP is playing something as Chinese dumping appears to be higher than the Japanese.According to this article. I do think we should have some compare and contrast articles otherwise its just noise.

People in China and all across the world will shun seafood from Japan then tuck into a plate of Chinese farmed shrimp that were raised underneath caged chickens, where the chicken droppings are used to feed the shrimp.

From Newsweek: "The water will be diluted to contain 1,500 becquerels of tritium per liter of water. The World Health Organization allows a maximum of 10,000."

You mean these people screaming about "safety", but who regularly munch on seafood during normal operations of nuclear power without batting an eye, when "acceptable" levels are several TIMES HIGHER than in this scenario...NOW they're getting concerned when only a FRACTION additional is being added to the mix? lol.

"For scale, the Pacific Ocean contains 8,400 grams of pure tritium, while Japan will release 0.06 grams (six one-hundreths of one gram) of tritium every YEAR (not day, week or month, but YEAR). ...A LIFETIME'S worth of seafood caught a few kilometres from the ocean outlet has the tritium radiation equivalent of ONE BITE OF A BANANA!", claims Nigel Marks, an associate professor of physics and astronomy at Curtin University in Australia. He added, "In South Korea and Pacific Rim nations, a disinformation campaign has whipped the public into a frenzy about the release...." You don't say! lol

"The doses to consumers of high levels of seafood from the Fukushima area are expected to be no higher than 1 microsievert per year - this is more than 2,000 times LOWER than the annual radiation dose WE ALL GET from sources of natural radiation such as cosmic rays and natural potassium-40 in the ground and in our bodies," stated Jim Smith, a professor of environmental science at the University of Portsmouth.

"There are sites in China and South Korea which discharge 3 TIMES MORE radioactive tritium than the Fukushima release. The La Hague site in Northern France discharges about 450 TIMES as much tritium than the Fukushima release and has been doing so for DECADES. NO significant radiation doses have occurred from these decade-long releases," he said.

All this "concern"...it is based on Junk Science, or worse, on Opportunistic and Cynically-Minded Politics

Those of us who ALWAYS follow the science - and, yes, who are intelligent - knew all along the release would be 100% safe.

It is only the mentally challenged and/or Japan haters who have any doubts.

Yeah, people are really going to listen to you and admire you as you insult them. You really are that intelligent...

Japanese fish and its preparation is one of the best in the world.

Japan is acting like they own the worlds pearl oceans.

They are throwing their radioactive wastes to the Pacific Ocean DAILY for a very long 30 years.

Imagine 30 years!

What will happen to the health of the children born today after 30 years of exposure?

Japan said it's safe but many scientists have doubts.

And rightly so!

Those responsible for this rape of the worlds pearl oceans would then be long gone .

Who will pay for their crimes?

"The US National Association of Marine Laboratories released a statement in December 2022 saying it was not convinced by Japan's data.

And marine biologist Robert Richmond, from the University of Hawaii, told the BBC: "We've seen an inadequate radiological, ecological impact assessment that makes us very concerned that Japan would not only be unable to detect what's getting into the water, sediment and organisms, but if it does, there is no recourse to remove it... there's no way to get the genie back in the bottle."

If the world's oceans are being polluted, the first countries that emit higher emissions than Japan should take action.

Please take a look at how countries such as France, UK, USA, Canada, China, and South Korea deal with nuclear wastewater.

Those countries don't do anything, do they?

Therefore, Japan does not need to do anything in particular.

In terms of marine pollution, which is an environmental problem, countries such as China, India, and Vietnam, which continue to release microplastics, should respond first.

Please solve it as soon as possible.

The Chinese and Koreans (and unfortunately many JT commenters) will never believe any information the Japanese government issues anyway, so Japan should just let China's and Korea's fisheries agencies sample and test the water and fish at the Fukushima release site alongside or in collaboration with their own so that they can be responsible for publicly reporting back to their governments and consumers the lack of concerning data.
