Fukushima tritiated water release -- what is the polemic all about?
A mere amount of 2.2 grams of tritium (780 TBq), diluted in 1.25 million
m$^3$ water, contained in 1047 tanks at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power
plant are being released to the Pacific ocean. The operation is scheduled to
last over 30 years, with never more than releasing 61 mg (22 TBq) of tritium
annually. The outcry in the world's press and the world's population is huge
and countries like China are protesting aloud and are even banning Japanese
seafood being sold in their domestic market. The outcry is real, the perceived
fears are real, the havoc created on the Japanese fish market is real, but the
danger is non-existing. The panic results from over-regulations initiated by
the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and similar
bodies world-wide, prohibiting a reliable assessment of dangers and are thereby
also preventing a solid risk analysis of real dangers.
