And you trust what the government or tepco say now? That's funny because I thought you were one of those guys distrusting .gov
Some people never learn
I have a question for you; What's going to be more devastating? The coronavirus itself or the economic consequences pertaining to it?
Same deal
>The sheer stupidity...
Corona-Chan already killed more people than the Fukushima and Chernobyl disasters combined. AFAIK, nobody died due to radiation in fukushima.
And you trust what the government or tepco say now?
The amount of radiation of this water can be tested. You can do it yourself. Geiger-Counters aren't expensive. You'd be surprised, how much radiation some rocks you'll find in front of your home are emitting.
Again you fail to get the point
The point isn't to compare a virus to radioactive material in terms of lethality
>The amount of radiation of this water can be tested. You can do it yourself.
Simply not true
Why not? Get yourself an olf geiger-counter for under 100 bucks, which tells you in Bq how many nuclei are decaying per second. With this you can calculate how much tritium is within the sample you're testing.
If you can't do this for lack of knowledge, you can't assess how dangerous the water is, which means, that you have no idea about what can be done with it. In this case let me tell you, that radiation is quite harmless when compared to what people think. There really is no good reason to not simply pour this stuff into the ocean, or just leaving it as is in a few swimming pools.
Most so called nuclear waste can be handled quite easily, and is only a problem because politicians are making it into one. Stuff is either highly radioactive for a short period of time, and at some point becomes as radioactive as a rock, or is not highly radioactive, and more of a concern due to its chemical toxicity. However, chemical industries are using huge quantities of toxic stuff without many troubles, and sometimes release huge amounts of poisonous stuff into the environment without people getting hysterical about it.
Regarding the markets: Really, who cares. If people don't want to eat perfectly fine fish from some region, why should I care.
