Will sushi be affected internationally amid the Fukushima radioactive water being dumped into the ocean?

1. Maybe sushi straight from Japan.

   But salmon is usually from farm raised Atlantic or Norway

   Blue fin tuna is caught in Mexico around summertime

   Uni is caught locally

   Yellowtail can be caught off california.

2. No, there are far worse things being dumped into the ocean now.

3. It’s a trivial amount of radiation, I think there is a geopolitical angle to why surrounding countries are acting the way they are about it.

4. Isn’t this just a tritium release? Tritium is not really dangerous…

5. It’s all fearmongering, 100%. Just think about it logically. Would Japan, a country that has been more devastated by nuclear tragedies than any other, and who depends almost entirely on seafood for sustenance, really discharge dangerous radioactive waste that could affect their fishery in any way?

6. Literally the water being dumped is less radioactive than the ambient earth around you. It’s just fearmongering

7. Your skeleton (the one that’s dwelling inside you right now) is more radioactive than the water they’re dumping.
