Original Note:
Water used in Fukushima will be dumped off the coast of Japan. The 1.3m tonnes of water has been filtered to remove the majority of radioactive elements, other than tritium, an isotope of Hydrogen which is not considered dangerous, as it emits low level beta radiation. https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/pressreleases/iaea-finds-japans-plans-to-release-treated-water-into-the-sea-at-fukushima-consistent-with-international-safety-standards https://www.iaea.org/sites/default/files/23/07/alps_executive_report.pdf
