Of course they are unlikely to be linked. The water that's being released is monitored and safe to drink.
- EA-3167 3y agoNot to mention that large fish kills aren't unheard of, and are increasing in frequency and scope as warming waters, pollution and over-fishing damage the oceans and everything that lives in them. Look at what's left of coral reefs in places like Australia, and a bunch of dead sardines feels downright understandable.

- LeoPanthera 3y agoThey did way back in 2011. It's the same water. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/11/01/141909307/to-assure-japan-official-drinks-water-from-fukushima-puddle https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2011/11/01/141909307... Of course, the water being released today is seawater. You could drink a small amount, but it would still be very salty.
- ceejayoz 3y agoAt least one has. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/01/japanese-mp-drinks-water-fukushima https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2011/nov/01/japanese-mp-dr... They also ate fish from the area after the discharges. https://youtu.be/WdKtO1jDVQA?feature=shared https://youtu.be/WdKtO1jDVQA?feature=shared Radiation isn’t some dark magic. We understand it quite well. It’s like recycling pee on the ISS for drinking water; people are inordinately freaked out by something for fundamentally invalid reasons.
- xchip 3y agoActually if it is drinkable it is a shame they are dumping to the ocean, it should be bottled and consumed by the population.
- yreg 3y agoI would be up for buying a bottle.
