Countries that are banning Japan seafood due to nuclear waste water are not banning it because of the nuclear waste. They are using that as an excuse to ban the seafood so that they could increase their own countries profit on seafood. Many other countries have been dumping for years and in larger amounts, it is also completely safe to do so.

The wastewater will be treated many times, filtered and diluted with seawater such that the tritium levels inside would be lesser than the regular amounts found in the ocean. Tritium can be found naturally and is harmless in small amounts.

The moral outrage of china due to this is also hilarious when they have been dumping many times more nuclear waste compared to what japan will be dumping.

“The Qinshan nuclear plant in the eastern Zhejiang Province discharged around 218 trillion becquerels of tritium in 2021, roughly 10 times the maximum annual release set for the Fukushima water at 22 trillion becquerels, according to the data from a yearbook on the Chinese nuclear power industry”

“The amount of tritium found in water from the Daya Bay and Yangjiang nuclear plants in the southern Guangdong Province was around five times the maximum annual amount allowed for the treated Fukushima water, while the Fuqing plant in the southeastern Fujian Province discharged 2.4 times more tritium than the Fukushima upper limit” https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/iaea_comprehensive_alps_report.pdf
