    You can’t compare exposure over 3 years to a limit for one year.

    Radiation damage depends on time period of exposure.

      the graph on the map is μSv/h

      using the crosshairs shows 29.88 μSv/h at the waterfront by the plant

      that is 0.02988 μSv/h = 261.7488 mSv/a

      so not a place I’d want to get food from to say the least

        That’s on land. Where a whole bunch of various radionuclides have concentrated and remain fixed in place.

        This “wastewater release” that’s being discussed is the release of low-intensity tritium that will immediately dilute into the whole ocean. You’re comparing apples to moonrocks. Completely different things.
