Can someone with knowledge chime in to tell how bad that is? I don't trust this article or China for that matter.
The IAEA approved the release, so it’s unlikely to be catastrophic. I can’t imagine radioactive tritium is great for fish, but what do I know.
It'll dilute so quickly and thoroughly into the ocean that it might as well not be there. This is a classic case of the public panicking over the word "nuclear."
Nor is pissing in an Olympic pool, but at some point you’re at homeopathic levels and while it “sounds wrong” is actually totally fine.
