Fukushima water

Japanese authorities are reportedly planning to release into the sea over a million tons of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, which was struck by a tsunami in 2011. Local fishermen are not thrilled, as they have spent years trying to rebuild trust in their catch. If the release goes ahead, it will start in 2022 at the earliest and take decades to complete.

Its ok, just don't eat fish for somewhere between 5 and 5700 years.

Radioactive Isotopes, yum yum.

Suggestions?

Go fission for "see" food?

Three eyed fish found near nuclear plant in Argentina

If you’re a Simpsons fan, then you problably know about blinky, the three eyed fish found near the nuclear plant where Homer Simpson was working. As it turns out, the Simpsons were right yet again, as fishermen in Córdoba, Argentina caught a three-eyed wolf fish in a reservoir fed by a local nuclear power plan.



As, sadly, life once again imitates cartoon, it seems this discovery will pretty much hinder the plant’s owner’s attempt to run for local office. According to Infobae (you have to brush up on your Spanish to read it), people fishing there have become more and more worried that there might be some sort of pollution (doh) that might cause harmful mutation; well, there’s little left to say after finding a fish with an extra eye.


“We were fishing and we got the surprise of getting this rare specimen. As it was dark at that time we did not notice, but then you looked at him with a flashlight and saw that he had a third eye,” said fisherman Julien Zmutt of his unusual discovery.

Well, not much more we can say here… just that maybe it would be a good idea to stop fishing in nuclear dump sites.

That's a very poor idea for a nation that lives off fish.

AS far as I know they are doing it all the time with all their other power plants

The other plants its just uncontaminated cooling water. It does cause thermal polution but that's it no radioactive isotopes.

The release at fukushima will be statistically safe or the wouldn't do it. The Japanese are very environmentally conscious. They will using dilution, and the release will be done so slowly that the level of isotopes will be harmless. The publicity will be bad for the local fishermen however. They will prove the fish are safe by checking them for radioactive isotopes.
