You think you know, but you don't

This water has been pumped from the ocean right into a nuclear disaster, then pumped again and stored

Risk zero doesn't exist, only certitude is that tepco and the jap gov have lied to the public from day1

Therefore, in absence of trust and guarantees and reliable information, the reasonable approach for the general customer is to go for a different offer, again better safe than sorry

What's stupid however, is to take a medical risk over a small economy on the final price

>In 2018, the plant operator, TEPCO, apologized after admitting it lied about the cleanup efforts and that its filtration systems had not removed all dangerous material from the water - and the site was running out of room for storage tanks. Among the ludicrous proposals concocted to contain the radioactive water was an idea straight out of Game of Thrones - an underground ice wall. It did not work.

...

>Japan's neighbor, South Korea, has for much of the past decade retained a ban on imports of seafood from Japan’s Fukushima region imposed after the nuclear disaster and summoned a senior Japanese embassy official last year to explain how the Fukushima water would be dealt with. They will soon have a very unsatisfactory answer.

Find out what reverse osmosis is. That's how they strip contaminated water from its contaminants. Technically, the water they're storing should be much like distilled water, with some weakly radioactive tritium being the only thing that can't be separated. This water is contaminated with a small amount of heavy water, which you can drink without getting sick.

Yeah. That's what I always think about governments. But there are better reasons for thinking that than some idiotic radiation-hysteria.
