There are different types of radiation and not all of it is “safe”.

Calling this safe is ridiculous.

It's well below internationally established limits, so it's safe at least by consensus. Their neighbor China releases far more than Japan does, and I think China is considered under the limit as well.

So Japan is doing the safe thing here, they're releasing at a safe rate, and only at much as they need to release.

This is just FUD to scare the average person from nuclear power, which is provably clean and safe.

There's different wheels of radiation and this is very low.

Your comment is pure nuclear hysteria.
