Communities along the coast of Japan’s Fukushima prefecture remain concerned over the ongoing release of water from the area’s badly damaged nuclear power plant. The water came into contact with hazardous materials within the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, but then underwent a treatment process that removed most radioactive elements before its release. Despite assurances from the Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) and experts with Japanese and international authorities, some local residents in Fukushima remain wary of the future.

I wanna see these people who say its safe eat seafood from fukushima…and get tested at a later date by a third party.
But the Japanese govt said it was safe, so please just believe them.
I wonder can I get my retirement pension from CCP or they just wait I'm to 90 years old
At least Japan government gives people retirement pension when CCP never
Purification by dilution etc is a falacy… Didnt we see millions of fish mysteriously washed up the shores in the americas?? One time 300 small whales washed up. This is just like tsjernobl in europe… People are still getting cancer there… 40% of all soil in europe was contaminated…
MasterUS: Do it just do it for Godzilla rising
JapGov: aye.. aye.. Captain
There is every type of news, Japanese, Indian, except Chinese in SCMP 😢
Master Splinter will explain why he came from Japan
Sell fishes to Boss USA,they should buy them all….'Cause one of the investor of that Nuclear plant is from the US!
No worries about the 3 eyes fish. Japanese officials said it is perfectly safe. 😂😂😂😂
The scientist at the Fukushima University is paid by the Japan Government. Of course he says the discharged water is safe.
Never buy and eat fish and other seafoods from Japan. Unsafe for consumption.
If you go to your local market and noticed nowdays they offer bigger, quality fishes at reasonable prices! Its local fishes they say!
They used to say handphone emits radioactive waves that might cause brain cancer without scientific proofs .. How many deaths till now that made that statement realistic ?
the japanese govt ought to expose the treated water to d sun n let nature do its job of evaporating the water
lets not forget minamata bay..they said it was safe too..
Idk… it might give us superpowers…
I still remember the day where Japanese literally blocked experimental RV Mirai over nuclear leak misinformation.
Rest in pieces japan. once a destroyed nipon always a destroyed nip. GO AHEAD and consume all that seafood – get tested by a 3rd party, independent health auditor, lets see what happens to the future generations of the japanes.
Nice One 🤭
Waiting for the chyna troll to deny their seafood at the same time they are eating fish caught in the same area.
🤣🤣🤣
Breaking News: After Japan 🇯🇵 beat China 🇨🇳 7-0 last night in a World Cup 2026 Qualifier, China announced it would impose restrictions on Japanese seafood imports. LOL
Please watch Nuclear For Dummies on YT, and learn the truth about the ELE (Extinction Level Event, that is ongoing. The Noto Peninsula was hit by a 7.7 quake on 1/1/24. No news on the 4 NPP effected by that quake, no news on the town that was wiped out, nor it's residents. You can't treat radioactive water or soil. Tepco, who ran the Fukushima facility, has covered up this ELE. Crimanals!
Time to let the fish population grow with % fishing. 😮
☢☢☢☢☢☢☢
Hey China, you forgot to mention that you release the same tritiated water, more than Japan does it turns out.
Don't worry, tourists will happily eat up the sushi 😂.
I hope the water becomes safe for fishes so these guys from these towns can do their jobs. It may sound off topic but I chanced on this cool translator that does everything and more of what a translator should have, name is Immersive Translate. Thank me later, it's gold.
Sinophobic bots expecting the people to agree with them after saying “The Japanese did nothing wrong in WW2”
If is save then don't release to the sea. Use it to shower and water your plants.
And the average person still dies younger than the average Japanese. Foreigners have short life.
The water is not safe as the treatment process does not remove all the radioactive elements especially tritium. The half life of tritium is 12.5 years. After 50 years the amount of tritium decays to 1/16 or about 6% of the original amount and is still not safe. The radioactive elements can be concentrated thousands of times higher via the biological food chain.
don't forget Toyota safety scandal.
Still cleaner than the food in China!
Japanese should consume fish for themselves. Just stop hunt whales.
