Japan said on Tuesday it will start releasing more than 1 million metric tonnes of treated radioactive water from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant on Aug. 24, putting into motion a plan that has drawn strong criticism from China.

      Hasn’t got anything to do with this release. Clearly radiative material was received during the accident. That will have made it into the food chain and some fish living near plant will have absorbed some.

      This release is about the gradual release of treated water which is measured to be below the existing limit.

        I guess we’ll see what things look like once it happens.
