The wastewater is scrubbed of all radioactive elements except tritium, which cannot be removed.
Tritium is very weakly radioactive, and cannot penetrate your dead skin layer. If ingested it is flushed from your body in 10 days, so no long-term effect.

The WHO standard for tritium in drinking water is 7,000 Bequerels per litre, Canada's standard is 7,600. The water to be released is less than 1,500.
In other words, they are releasing water that is safe to drink.
"Global outrage"?
More like "Global ignorance and stupidity".
