"We must prevent action that will lead or mislead us towards another major nuclear contamination disaster at the hands of others," he added, saying Pacific islanders continued to endure the long-term impacts of the nuclear testing legacy on a daily basis.

Japan's foreign ministry has previously said that regulators deemed it safe to release the water, which would be filtered to remove most isotopes but would still contain traces of tritium, an isotope of hydrogen hard to separate from water.

The United States conducted nuclear testing in the Pacific islands in the 1940s and 1950s and the Marshall Islands continues to campaign for more compensation from Washington over lasting health and environmental effects.

Between 1946 and 1958, the U.S. detonated 67 nuclear devices in and around the Marshall Islands. The impact of these tests on the Marshallese people was profound - in terms of both actual radioactive exposure and the displacement of people from their home islands due to contamination and to accommodate the U.S. military.

Someone showed me a cheap $15 promo for Hokkaido scallops yesterday.
Always tot Japanese farm products are more expensive, eg their watermelons.

And happen to chanced upon this video a while ago.
Wonder if there is a relationship between the two...

And meanwhile ST pushing the same narrative as Japanese MSM in Feb this year (2023)...promoting Japan seafood exports to SG...The warning only come in the final paragraph. Unlike the Chernobyl accident, Japan gov deliberately release Fukushima's highly radioactive water into the ocean which will eventually reach SGrean's stomach unknowingly.

Kanno says the delicacy "is delicious and can be served at a good price".  But he fears the fallout from the upcoming water release. "I'm very worried about whether the fishing industry in this region will ever make a comeback if the water is released," he said.

This your choice loh.

The next Nuclear power plant must be built underground within inland surrounded by concrete wall all round. just bury the plant if there is a meltdown so that contamination is controlled inland. sea water can be piped 20km from sea if using sea water for cooling. WTF of saving a few km of pipeline for f. impo.

Problem isn't about nuclear power by fission means, but how the cooling system is designed.
Fukushima is using 1960s technology based on GE boiling water reactors (BWR) - and yes need water to constantly cool the core.
Hence the Jap build their nuke plants near any major water source, in this case the sea.
