Tokyo has urged Beijing to “ensure the safety of Japanese residents in China” after a wave of telephone harassment targeting businesses in Japan sparked by the controversial discharge of Fukushima wastewater.
While Japan insists the release of the treated water is safe - a view backed by the UN’s nuclear watchdog - China has staunchly opposed it and banned all Japanese seafood imports, saying it contaminates the ocean.
The Japanese government on Sunday (Aug 27) published new data showing waters off Fukushima continued to post radioactivity levels well within safe limits.
I have asked this guy to tell me what the actual levels of these contaminants are and he won’t tell me. Just continues to fearmonger.
The ocean contains 4.5 billion tons of uranium, and that contributes a relatively small minority of the natural radioactivity of the ocean. No regulatory authority with oversight of this has expressed concern and there’s no observed contamination in wildlife
I sent you the article, you just haven’t opened it.
It’s literally not in the article.
I’m really not sure what your confusion is. Do you not have access? I think it’s on scihub, but you can also probably access it at your local library.
Yeah it’s paywalled. Citing a paywalled source is useless.
I’ve told you multiple options for accessing Science… Y’know, one of the most prestigious journals in the world.
It’s your source, not mine. I’m not going to a library just because some douchebag on lemmy doesn’t understand the need to cite readily available material rather than paywalled content.
It’s fucking Science. Not my fault if you’re too uneducated to read a paper. But if you’re that uneducated, then I’m fairly convinced your argument doesn’t make sense in the first place 🤷♀️
I’m sorry if I don’t pay a subscription to Science. I think you’re capable of quoting the appropriate values if you really want to make a point and not just be a cunt.
Oh use an archive. I use archive.is but there are others like it.
It literally is.
