      Fukashima is not uninhabitable, neither is Chernobyl/Pripyat, you won’t just die from entering the area without any protection.

      Very few health issues have been detected as a cause of the Fukashima nuclear disaster:

      It is the fear of radiation that makes us call it uninhabitable, this is an older documentary, but it is still valid and is still important:

      They get many tsunamis in Germany?

      The ocean water off Fukushima of sufficient concentration to be a health risk?

      Lol

        That’s because Tsunamis are the only risk to a nuclear reactor? I’m sure you have the capacity to think of other hazards as well.

          Oh I thought we were bluntly applying everything to Fukushima, as the person I replied to did

      Sure but fossil fuels about to make the whole planet uninhabitable… And massive oil spills in the ocean are much too common

        But solar and wind don’t. Why must we use nuclear. We could weatherproof houses and paint rooftops white. There are a million solutions that don’t require me to get radiation poisoned

      dumping tritium into the ocean

      Despite what Chinese propaganda keeps saying, it’s very safe amounts. Less than just safe… negligible. The IAEA has been monitoring levels in the area and tritium levels haven’t even gone up detectably. Tritium also has a fairly short half-life of 12.5 years.
