I get the Fukushima thing to a point.
But it seems everyone forgets that the US A repeatedly dropped nuclear bombs on the Bikini Atoll and water was obviously contaminated then.
Short memories, or it doesn't count if the US did it?

To date, no significantly elevated radiation levels have been detected in migratory
species, including North Pacific albacore.

The main difference between the nuclear tests and Fukushima is that in the nuclear explosions the greatest majority of the nuclear material was converted ti energy. At Fukushima, the material is still there fissioning and spitting out poisons by the ton
This contamination has indeed been flowing in to the ocean from day one, even before the tsunami arrived.
The material is being dispersed in the ocean not diluted by it, each and every particle is just as radioactive, they're just being spread far and wide by the currents.
Bioaccumulation is what has to be considered. Not just having these elements in the environment. They remain dangerous for decades, some of them for millennia.

Does anyone really know how radioactive waste will behave in large amounts of water ?
