Japan has told its citizens living in China to keep a low profile, including talking quietly in public, after Beijing blasted Tokyo for releasing treated radioactive water from a wrecked nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean.

Wang Wenbin, a spokesman for the the Chinese Foreign Ministry was quoted calling the plan "extremely selfish and irresponsible" and stated that "The ocean is humanity's common good, not Japan's private sewer"

That's rich, coming from China.

Yeah they launched a bunch of rockets at the ocean not that long ago so they can't like it that much.

Fuck the CCP

When has China dumped radioactive waste with high levels of Strontium-90 and Carbon-14 into the ocean?

[-] bitsplease@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago

Except the waste water doesn't actually have high levels of either of those, as it's been diluted well below the safe minimums before release

Theres no actual science to back up the fears about their handling of this - just your standard "nuclear = bad and scary"

Wait till you guys find out about bananas

Different tanks have different concentrations.

Just because the average is safe doesn't mean each discharge is.

Have a non-pay walled article?

Because nothing in what I can read of that article discounts what I said.

Specifically a non-pay walled article that backs up your assertions that some discharges are above safe levels

Figures on the last page.

Yeah well without a non-pay walled source, I can't verify that
