People really need to educate themselves before protesting. There’s plenty of actually bad shit to protest, like South Korea’s ridiculous work ethics.
Or in terms of actual nuclear containment issues:
We really need to clean it up properly, not to mention take care of the people impacted by it’s creation.
Don’t even have to look so far. Japan’s work ethic is awful, suicide rates are high and because of this the birth rate is declining.
I was very suspicious on China’s remarks as they have a track record of doing PR for themselves and no one else.
Good, it’s about time. Tritiated water just isn’t dangerous. The ocean naturally contains billions of tons of URANIUM. A few kilograms of short lived tritium isn’t going to matter at all.
Wait I get that the ocean is gigantic but billions of tons?
Yep. Best estimate I have seen is 4.5 billion tons of uranium. Course, most of the natural radioactivity of our ocean is from potassium, actually. But either way, natural levels of radioactivity will not change.
Don’t tell the people fighting this about coal power plants and other things that actually fuck the environment and kill us.
