Japan may release Fukushima wastewater into sea: Reports

Japan is widely expected to formally decide this week to release treated wastewater from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant into the sea. Pressure is growing on Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga to make the move, as the plant's wastewater storage site will reach its limit next year.

If the water is as safe as Japanese government claimed. Why don't they enjoy the water themselves? Instead of releasing into sea.

The State Department of the United States thinks that Fukushima water is safe, but on April 13, the FDA asked the United States not to import Japanese food. So which of them is honest.

what a shame.​ Chernobyl's level of radiation is 7, and Fukushima's is also level 7, but it was only around level 5 at the start, it was the inaction Japan raised it to level 7. And also, although at Chernobyl the level of radiation is also 7, but it is way worse than the one at Fukushima. Today there aren't much impact from the Chernobyl because that the soviet union has sent more than 400k people to solve the issue, all of these people suffered from the radiation sickness, and around half of them died after the incubation period.

A court must be set to facilitate any individual losing his/her basic human right to non-tritium water or suffering from fear or loss of income sue Japan government for compensations next few years. An organisation must be set to trace This body of water for decades. Japan has to pay the bill and legal costs. ... Otherwise the only respectable solution is for Any western country finding this water up to their standards must help Japan to ferry the water and store the water in their territory for a decade to set an example of being responsible. Rich nations who are silent must upload high standards on human rights and share the cost of storage. We can afford storing it if each country chips in.

The IAEA director say it ok.
USA say thank you.
Japanese say its filtered and safe.
Ok, China has volunteered to transport water to be dumped not in Asia, but in the coast of Califonia, and in the middle of the Mediteretian Ocean.
I wonder if this is also ok ?

Two years later, Japan: The queue is over. I'm really sorry (bow)

Twenty years later, Japan: This is what people did before, and it has nothing to do with us now. We are also victims,

Japan fifty years later: nuclear waste water? What nuclear waste water? There is no such thing as nuclear waste water in history! ​

[almighty]

It is not "waste water" but "treated radioactive contaminated water". One is produced under control, other is the product of a nuclear disaster.
