Japan’s fisheries agency said on Saturday fish tested in waters around the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant did not contain detectable levels of the radioactive isotope tritium, Kyodo news service reported.

Good thing it’s not just Japan saying this then. Everyone that knows what the hell they’re talking about are.
If it was Japan’s word on it, I wouldn’t trust it either. But the measurements are a solid science that’s easy to do, and hasn’t been disputed
The inferences drawn and assumptions of what the data means is not as cut and dry. Researches are regularly and constantly frustrated by this aspect of reporting on their findings.
And yet there are no studies of the time it takes to have radiation propagate through this specific ecosystem and a comprehensive accounting of it’s potential downstream impacts and vectors. Thus making an early propoganda piece that imparts a false sense of safety, dangerous and irresponsible reporting.
Additionally the assumption that the release of radioactive material will be a constant and consistent rate and not vary or get significantly worse is just that–an assumption.
If you think the science on fukishma and releasing radioactive water into the ocean there is done and settled and everything is fine… No radiation in fish… Then brother do I have a deal on a slightly used bridge that you cannot afford to miss!
