00:00 From a radiation protection perspective, there is nothing wrong with the Japanese plan.
00:05 And I think that's why you'll find that most radiation protection agencies
00:10 have approved the Japanese plan. Outside of that is the politics of the release.
00:19 And so, you know, that's really one for the politicians to work through.
00:24 I do believe that there does need to be still ongoing monitoring to make sure that the ALCS
00:31 process is efficient. And no doubt there's going to be a lot of interest in monitoring,
00:38 you know, the environment of where the water is released.
00:43 If you tested the fish here in Australia, you will find radiation in those fish.
00:51 And that's because the sea is radioactive. You know, people don't understand that the sea
00:55 naturally contains tritium. It contains all, you know, it contains uranium and the
01:02 decay products from uranium. So the sea itself is naturally radioactive.
01:09 And so, and same as all our food, all our water, we're just exposed to it all the time.
01:18 We just don't get that message out enough to the general population.
