This will probably won’t affect your food chain since you live far away in Europe.

Recently, Japan start releasing the 1.3 million cubic metres of contaminated nuclear wastewater from the destroyed Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean. While their government claims that the nuclear wastewater is safe to drink, yet they decide to pour the nuclear wastewater into the ocean.

Just wondering why those hypocritical environmental groups decide to turn a blind eye on this issue? Carbon-14, Cesium-137, Iodine-129 and Strontium-90, surely all these radioactive waste cannot be purified.

In accordance with a report released by the plant's operator Tokyo Electric Power Company on 5 June, the level of Cesium-137 that can be found in fishes nearby the coastline, is 180 times that of the standard maximum stipulated in Japan's food safety law.
This happens and your target is environmental activists??
 
Please explain. You're sort of implying that environmental groups are shiftily pouring Uranium down the drains.

The oceans get loads of attention, i'm sure some groups must have highlighted the issue. Maybe ask on a forum in a country where it's actually legal to carry a placard saying 'Please think twice about poisoning everyone', where it's actually still safe to eat fish from the coast and who's government don't cover up a mass poisoning of sea life.
Nope maybe their boss behind asked them to shut up. Where is the Swede girl? It seems that they all shut the month up because it’s their allies who dump these nuclear-waste into the ocean.

People from other countries did peacefully protest but there isn’t any use. You are missing the point. The nuclear-waste water were acting as a cooling agent for the melting core at the nuclear power station in Fukushima.

What are you banging on about? Here's Greenpeace's press release from last month bemoaning the dumping of water from Fukushima;


Here's comment from a Chinese environmental group from last week announcing litigation against TEPCO;


Here's Korean environmental activists protesting said plans to dump radioactive seawater just three weeks ago;


As for 'the Swede girl', or 20-year-old Swedish woman Greta Thunberg as people with a functioning brain refer to her, she's not long been released from police custody in Germany where she was protesting against a brown coal mine. Her cause of choice is climate change. It's not her responsibility to address every single environmental issue. You might as well cryarse about Jane Goodall not speaking up about air quality in New York.

I realise you're posting in your second language but you really don't seem to put any thought into what you write.

My local Greenpeace branch has stayed silent though on FB. Even they released the statement above, that doesn’t look like they will do anything about that as an organisation. Will they actually go near the Fukushima coastline and test the radioactive level of fishes and seawater? In a lesser scale, will they test the seafood coming from Japan for safety reasons? Thus releasing related statistics and reports. How about protesting in G7 etc if there was chance? I doubt it.

It’s obvious the Chinese and Korean will protest and as you said, will launch a litigation against the TEPCO but you know it will have no effect on the Japanese’s government decision.

What I mean is while most countries in Asia object Japan’s action since it will eventually affect 70% of the fishing industry in the world after 10 years of releasing nuclear-waste water to the Pacific Ocean, the western environmental groups do not have much enthusiastic on this issue.

Dumping nuclear waste contaminates the ocean and food chain btw.

Unless I see David Attenborough jogging around the site in Japan ASAP in a fundraising marathon then all environmentalists are hypocrites.

No, really? Mind. Blown.
 
Even when it was the enormous power companies polluting the planet and causing meltdowns, I KNEW it was all the fault of 'the Swede girl' and all the other environmentalists. Bloody hypocrites the lot of them, failing to protest every single environmental issue simultaneously.

Jesus wept we have some absolute Herberts on this site at the moment.

I believe seafood is supposed to be tested, and also that the UK and EU recently raised their tolerance threshold for contaminants for Japanese imports.

Anyway, like has been stated, stop blaming the people who care and put their lives and freedoms on the line attempting to protect us all.

Yea if the Chinese do the same thing (dumbing the nuclear-waste water into the Pacific) not the Japanese you lot will react differently. I think the media is trying downplay the incident anyway.
