    I never knew we had so many experts in radioactive waste in Ireland, let alone on boards.

    A little bit of peer reviewed evidence would go a long way to support opinion regarding safety. Otherwise it's just BS.

    Few of the usual keyboard "experts" of course, adding radioactive waste treatment to their growing list of boards thread expertise.

    It's harmless in such small doses,When cosmic rays interact with nitrogen or deuterium in the upper atmosphere, it forms Tritium and carbon naturally. The Tritium will then fall on the earth in the form of rain giving us the natural form of the radioactive chemical. It's everywhere and has always been everywhere,

    There is all sorts of ****e dumped into the oceans waters every second, and it ain’t already filtered with water.

    Well, if they think it's safe to release into the ocean, they can drink or put into industrial use.

    Even perfectly clean and unpolluted sea water isn't drinkable, or of much use in industry without heavy processing. Maybe it shouldn't be in the ocean either?

    Japan know what they are doing, I'd be pretty sure they are the best at it
