Japan’s fisheries agency said on Saturday fish tested in waters around the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant did not contain detectable levels of the radioactive isotope tritium, Kyodo news service reported.

Truthfully? I’d swim in the filtered water, but I’m not as concerned with radioactive exposure as others. It’s only a few grams of tritium. Really to be safe you’d need to dilute it more. Tritium is a beta emitter that’s blocked by the skin, so it’s only a problem when it’s absorbed. It’s readily absorbed since it’s water, but it’s also readily released, since it’s water.
