Japan has been given the okay by UN to dump radioactive waste water into the ocean, but nearby countries are protesting that its unsafe. Is it unsafe? Is it safe?

The top answer nails it but I wanted to add something.
If Japan’s radioactive emissions is all there is then there is absolutely no danger.
But, if we made the limit of what was allowed based on what was ok health wise, everyone would immediately scoot up their emission levels to the new (higher) minimum and then we really would start facing dangerous situations.
So, from a policy standpoint, it makes sense to be concerned, but it is currently a policy issue more than an immediate health issue.
