No detectable amount of tritium has been found in fish samples taken from waters near the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, where the discharge of treated radioactive water into the sea began a month ago, the government said Monday.

Tritium was not detected in the latest sample of two olive flounders caught Sunday, the Fisheries Agency said on its website. The agency has provided almost daily updates since the start of the water release, in a bid to dispel harmful rumors both domestically and internationally about its environmental impact.

The results of the first collected samples were published Aug. 9, before the discharge of treated water from the complex commenced on Aug. 24. The water had been used to cool melted nuclear fuel at the plant but has undergone a treatment process that removes most radionuclides except tritium.

      Methinks the troll doth protest too much.

      Your motives are clearly just trying to rile people up, you haven’t provided a single cohesive argument.

      It’s so cute how hard you’re trying

        Aww you caught me 🤭

        I have no facts to give you other then humans are too dumb and fickle to be trusted with something as temperamental nuclear power when solar and wind exist.

        😳 thanks for noticing

      Anyway, I’m done with you. You sound like a shill.

      Lol.

      The famous last words of someone who has no point to make but can’t even admit it to themselves.

      I wrote an honest reply to you and I even bothered to Google some sources for you to refer to. You didn’t even reply to what I said and just came back spouting more non sequitur garbage.

      It’s shameful. You should do better than this. Be better than this.
