Better to be a fish shunned by fishermen for a slight increase in radioactivity than a fish on someone's dinner plate.

In any case Japan dumps worse toxins than tritium into the ocean and into the atmosphere every day and many of these have a half life of FOREVER.

Not to mention greenhouse gasses.
