US psyops trying to gaslight the content of the article. There are trace elements of other contaminants... Of unknown concentration, and we have to take TEPCO's word that it's "like, totally safe man, just like our nuclear reactors"
There's 4.5 billion tons of uranium dissolved in the ocean, I'm pretty sure a couple milligrams of trace elements isn't going to change anything.
Oh, because that's a great answer to a localized ban.
Guess what? Most of the volume of the ocean isn't chilling in Japanese territorial waters.
currents exist
even without currents mixing the water, diluting trace elements into the fucking ocean is fine
Not at concentrations noticeably higher than normal ocean water.
Lower*
[citation needed]
If you're claiming they're higher, show your data. Your article says trace. Barring figures showing different, trace means nearly undetectable.

I don't see the concentration. Show me a citation with the ppb figure and specific isotopes.
https://www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.1126/science.abc1507
Again, give me a source which lists the actual concentrations of contaminants
It's literally in the article
Quote it
If you're too lazy to click the source, that's a you problem mate.
