Headline: "Radioactive water being released into the ocean."
Then there's a lot of common sense regarding the hazards as they toured the site.
Finishes with a typical overreaction to tritium release plans.  Does some, but not very much to calm the complaints.
The disposable respirators everywhere must be an emergency response measure (just in case there's a release) and not an actual measured airborne hazard.

Are they wearing dust masks for COVID-19 purposes.....lol. I cant imagine their fairly new demineralizer building really needs that level of protective clothing and respiratory protection.

Interesting.  I just googled respiratory protection for COVID in Japan in 2023, and every site said there's zero requirement anywhere to wear a mask for COVID.
AND, just about everyone still wears one to be safety over-conservative.... :-X
