    Its probably overblown, but it's crazy to pretend this isn't a case of leaders going "we can handle an extra x cases of cancer per million in order to save $100"

      Yes, I saw some people on here saying that the half life of tritium is such that if it were contained for 50 years then the radioactivity would be much less.

      not necessarily an easy task, but I refuse to believe humanity is incapable of doing it. If the Japanese government made serious moves towards that kind of solution I think you'd see a lot less animosity coming from their neighbouring countries.

          Ok I was wrong, the water thing is definitely way overblown
