What’s being released is actually less than what Chinese nuclear plants emit.

The stuff is filtered and treated ... is the tritium going to react with all the plastic in the ocean? ... that's like being worried your strychnine is cut with cyanide ..

The truth is that it’s within established international guidelines and much less than what China emits from its nuclear plants. Of course, they’re the first to complain and, hypocritically, are a source of much of the buzz about the issue.

Something like this happens every day in China. Why no concern over that? If this happened in Russia the same way as in Japan, I believe you’re wrong, it would be acknowledged as meeting international standards and approved.
