This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.
The word nuclear in general just scares people.
Well we've had decades of fossil fuel company scare propaganda to make sure everyone is scared of nuclear power.
Most of it is fear mongering but you know bioaccumulation is a thing right? Water is a nice shield against radiation reaching you but if radioactive nucleai are in the water, it's going to accumulate in animals that grow in that water and cause heavy metal poisoning, like Mercury.
