Fukushima wastewater released into the ocean, China bans all Japanese seafood
Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.
Japan started releasing treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday, a polarising move that prompted China to announce an immediate blanket ban on all aquatic products from Japan.
China is "highly concerned about the risk of radioactive contamination brought by... Japan's food and agricultural products," the customs bureau said in a statement.
The Japanese government signed off on the plan two years ago and it was given a green light by the U.N. nuclear watchdog last month. The discharge is a key step in decommissioning the Fukushima Daiichi plant after it was destroyed by a tsunami in 2011.
You're viewing a single thread.
It's pretty bad when China is in the right when it comes to a safety-related topic.
You do realise that the potassium alone in your body is more radioactive than that water, right?
You are literally more radioactive.
This isn't even worth a story.
Yeah, OP straight up says that this was given the green light by the UN and planned for years. The water is safe.

People always forget that the dose makes the poison, radiation or not!
Bold of you all to assume that they ever knew these things in the first place.
Unfortunately I have to confirm. I've seen a fair share of people that have knowledge that stops at chemicals/radiation=danger to your health.
I’ve been a fool
LMAO. This IS a joke, right?
No. Many people (especially in the US) are completely ignorant about science. This guy knows nothing that would help him (or her) to actually rate the danger.
Yeah, it would be interesting to see that ever happen.
It's pretty bad when you're this misinformed and frankly, extremely ignorant on a topic and then make a comment like this.
yeah nah
Then you better don't eat bananas. Because bananas are more radioactive than the Fukuchima water.
Why would a troglodyte know anything about bananas? It probably subsists off of frozen pizza/hot pockets.
