Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, have revealed that releasing treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant site have negligible short- and long-term effects on tritium concentrations in the ocean, which remain well below international safety standards.

What about tritiated water release from Fukushima? Ocean model simulations provide an objective scientific knowledge on the long-term tritium distribution
Using a global ocean model, researchers from #UTokyo_IIS and the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, Fukushima University, found that short- and long-term contribution of treated water released from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on oceanic tritium concentration beyond the vicinity of the discharge site is negligible, even in climate change scenarios
