I’ll finish the quote. “But we’re gonna do it anyway.”

"But you should have seen what was in that brown envelope! Blimey, I'm turning the taps on, paying the concrete-yaks their cut, then I'm off to Tahiti for a couple of months. See ya!"

"harmful rumors about the discharged water"

You mean science? There are no "rumors" about the discharged water - it's highly-irradiated and a clear hazard, which is why they need to get rid of it. And the most profitable way is to give the concrete lobby a huge no-bid contract, and flush it into fishing territory.

Then a couple of years later when the cancers start showing up, play the victim.
