seems like might be worse than the report lets on https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/jul/24/fukushima-fish-with-180-times-legal-limit-of-radioactive-cesium-fuels-water-release-fears
Hasn’t got anything to do with this release. Clearly radiative material was received during the accident. That will have made it into the food chain and some fish living near plant will have absorbed some.
This release is about the gradual release of treated water which is measured to be below the existing limit.
I guess we'll see what things look like once it happens.
