Do I trust Japan to do the right thing about disposing with the radio-nucleotide contaminated water they sucked out of the ground to save it from going straight into the ocean? The same Japan that got blown up, sizzled and fried by the first nuclear weapons of the west? Do I trust their openness about what they are doing? Yes I do. And I congratulate them for the way they are doing it. I believe they have got rid of all but the tritium in the water and I am not worried about the tritium. I wear that every day. It illuminates the numbers and hands on my wrist watch. It is one of those old analogue wind up things. The curse is that tritium rapidly decays and it hardly helps illuminate the numbers now and can't be seen at night unless I put my eyeball right on the watch glass.
