The release of treated sewage into the ocean, which began Thursday, is expected to continue for decades, has caused the reactions of fishermen and neighboring countries. China immediately banned all Japanese seafood imports in response. In South Korea, thousands of people rallied over the weekend to condemn the dumping of radioactive waste.
All sampling has, however, shown that the concentration of radioactivity is well below the established safety limits.
