They also noted the death count from Fukushima as over 2000.
None of those deaths were related to radiation.

As in “not yet” and “so far”?
There was a confirmed death last year as a result of Fukushima radiation and 3-4 workers that are sick now. I can’t imagine people involved in cleanup and first responders are going to go unscathed in the years to come. I guarantee Japan’s going to do what it can to cover-up any collateral damage in the years to come they’ve already proven so.
Dumping contaminated water into the ocean reeks of irresponsibility but options are limited I suppose. When I was a kid and learned about the dangers of radiation from nuclear plants I’d always thought there was nothing good going to come of it. We need to find alternatives to nuclear power besides wiping out everything in sight if there’s a problem. We have obligations and responsibilities to future generations and need to be held accountable for what we leave them, this isn’t it.
