The public news about seawater near the reactor seemed fairly meaningless to me. It was 300m away at at time when the exclusion zone was 20km. Fishing there is banned and no sane person would drink that water. A level of 10000 times normal holds no information - if the normal level is low.
I'm not dismissing the risk. However the content and framing of that particular newsbite caused me to dismiss it as unhelpful.
And if I recall correctly... the radioactive iodine has a real short half-life. 8 days or something.
