there was damage done. but most the radiated stuff fall into the ocean, where people just didn't cared / cared enough.
tepco actually hide most of it and didn't took that seriously, as of today it's still not clear how much contained material was going to the ocean.
Just reading Wiki:

I mean diggin deeper makes this actually worse. I mean like nearly no news about that, just like "if it doesn't affect us we don't care". I mean seriously? Why does nobody takes this more serious?
Most people analyze the air, yeah great that's serious, but we should also take more care about things which basically don't affect us "directly". nuclear plant's in earthquake or landscape's which are effected by nature catastrophes once in a while should be forbidden.

- mikeash 10y agoPeople don't care about the stuff going into the ocean because the ocean dilutes it to the point where it just doesn't matter. This isn't something we want to be doing regularly, but for a one-off event it is ignorable.
- marcosdumay 10y agoIf nobody knows how much stuff was dumped into the ocean, it is because the amount wasn't measurable. If people repeat the dumping often enough, it may become a problem (or may not - no idea, the oceans are big). But this one time case is not a global problem.
