The mascot represents Tritium, a radioactive isotope of Hydro, to call for support for the decision to discharge the Fukushima factory to Japan's sea.

However, the appearance of blue mascot in an online ad and the reconstruction agency's website has made the people of Fukushima anger.

"If the government thinks they can make the public understand the problem only by creating a cute character, they are joking on the risk of communication crisis," Riken Komatsu, a local commentary

Meanwhile, social network users named mascot "sub-tritium", which is said to be in order to interfere with sub-pluto, cartoon characters created in the mid-1990s to soothe public opinion about the industry

Before great pressure, the reconstruction agency, with the duty to supervise the recovery effort after the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster in Fukushima in March 2011, removed the video to promote wastewater mascot on 14
