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.

    Cynicism is a lazy cognitive shortcut that leads to wrong conclusions almost as often as naivete does.

      Denial of the realities of a capitalist world and it’s horrors are how we got here in the first place. It’s not just lazy to be blindly optimistic and ignore the track records of the nuclear industry and the failures of regulatory bodies in charge of them–it’s literally deadly.

      Head in the sand is a luxury best left to shit posters on the internet. When they’re actually able to influence things we end up with Fukishimas.

        I’m not denying anything. You’re the one ignoring everyone who actually knows what they’re talking about.

          You’re holding up a bad inference piece on data of questionable value that is touted by the Japanese fishing industry saying Japanese fish is fine to eat. And there are even contradicting studies.

          Did you read this piece? if you cant see why this is not people who know what there talking about and instead an entire industry, commerce and job sector and country that have a financial incentive to produce a specific answer…

          I dunno how to help.

          Someone on this thread was even nice enough to have leaked other info for ya…

            That article does not support your claim. Cesium that was almost certainly released during the initial disaster has nothing to do with the IAEA-approved release of tritium now. You’re just reinforcing my belief that you’re pissed off about things you don’t understand and you think you’re smarter than the experts who study this shit for a living.
