Posted in: China begins blanket radiation testing on seafood imports from Japan See in context

As much as it does seem quite silly it could work in Japan’s favor if they don’t find any radiation in the seafood. However, it’s quite likely they will fudge the results to fuel their anti-Japan propaganda.

This is all best guess science based on models. Nobody knows what effect the continued release of this water over the next half a century will have in the environment. There is reason for genuine concern. Hopefully there models are correct, but if they are not the whole east coast of Japan could become a radioactive wasteland.

Roy Sophveason - Except we know exactly what Fukushima's waste water release will do and the effect it will have: virtually none.

If this is so, why are there just as many scientists against the release as there are supporting it?

It is estimated to add around 0.00005% in tritium radioactivity to the sea, every year

You seem to be ignoring that they always ‘most isotopes’ when they state what has been removed. You also seem to be ignoring the report released by TEPCO three years ago stating that a lot of the water contains more than just tritium due to poor filtering techniques in the early days of storage. Anybody who believes the J-Gov and the media reports telling people this is perfectly safe is very foolish.

Roy Saph….. - Has this happened before? Because by and large the oceans are still reeling from the nuclear tests of the 1950s and 1960s. In comparison the radioactive waste water discharge that has been happening for half a century, by virtually every nuclear power faciltiy, and in much greater volume than the Fukushima waste water release, 

You are talking about completely different scenarios. The release of the water from Fukushima will continue for another 40-50 years until they decommission the plant resulting in trillions of tons of radioactive water being released over the next half century. This is prolonged exposure has never before been seen. You mentioned the bomb testing in the pacific during the 50’s and 60’s. Those atolls that were vaporized are still no go zones and are still desserts.

The fact is, nobody knows what effect this prolonged exposure will have on the marine life. For this single reason this release should not go ahead. It’s one heck of a gamble that could destroy the marine life of eastern Japan.

Exposure to nuclear isotopes has long been associated with decreased fertility and sterility. This also applies to marine life. If it does effect the breading cycle of marine life it could destroy the ocean ecosystem and turn the east coast of Japan into an undersea dessert. Let’s hope I am wrong.

*an advanced liquid processing system that removes most radionuclides except for tritium*

The key word in this statement is ‘most’. Shouldn’t it be ‘all’.

This visit is just a formality. The release will go ahead regardless. Let’s just hope it is as safe as they keep claiming.

What’s the bet they had a table and chairs on the balcony for him to climb on? I used to live in a 7th floor apartment and was always in fear of one of my kids going over the railing. My Japanese wife wanted to put a table and chairs on the balcony for sunny breakfasts. She got quite angry when I refused to let her.

Posted in: Kishida calls for new type of capitalism to address income, social gaps See in context

The income and social gaps were there long before the pandemic. The middle class has been disappearing over the last twenty years. It’s becoming a society of those who have and those who have not. A new kind of capitalism is just a phrase that sounds good. A complete restructuring of the labor laws is what is needed. They should start with doing away with the short term work contracts that control 60% of the workforce. Then, they need to do away with the age based pay system that sees all these old farts being paid a small fortune to sit around all day and contemplate how to send email.
