Japan exported about $600 million worth of aquatic products to China in 2022, making it the biggest market for Japanese exports, with Hong Kong second. Sales to China and Hong Kong accounted for 42% of all Japanese aquatic exports in 2022, according to government data.

    They still can't come up with anything other than "it's not safe!" And "you're so irresponsible"?

    Previous articles on this say the water is less contaminated than that which comes out of some of China's plants.

    This article: IAEA says 10,000 becquerels per liter is the safe limit. Japan's output will be 63 per liter.

      China are the ultimate projectionists with this stuff. No transparency for themselves, and very quick to scream blue bloody murder about everyone else.

      And that's probably the figures China allows the international community to know. If the reports on that are anything like their emissions reports, it's not even worth the time it took to generate them.

        So true. In China, all the nuclear reactors are as radioactive as the elephant's foot. They say solar is expanding really quickly, but actually it's all a lie. Did you know under the Xi regime, absolute poverty has increased tenfold? It's very sad. China lies about Japan's nuclear safety for political reasons, so everything they say is wrong and actually my own dreams about them are reality.

          good on you schooling these idiots for thinking china would misrepresent their emission stats, just because they have previously misrepresented their emission stats

    According to Tepco test results released on Thursday, that water contained about up to 63 becquerels of tritium per litre, below the World Health Organization drinking water limit of 10,000 becquerels per litre. A becquerel is a unit of radioactivity.

    If Japan keeps using nuclear reactors, someone might die of cancer one day. In order to protect the environment, Japan should burn fossil gas instead!

    anyone know a better radioactivity monitoring site than this one?

    Fukushima sure is lit up like a Christmas tree on this one.

      Because the color gradient is relative. A large enough banana would also light up. Also exposure time is another factor and this will dissipate very quickly. You can play it safe by abstain of seafood and swimming for a week.

        One week equals one year as a flight attendant.

        The U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP) reports that aircrew have the largest average annual effective dose of all U.S. radiation workers.

        Hmm.
