The article notes: 'But even so, that’s still far below safe-to-eat limits set by the U.S. and Japanese governments.'
But also that decay will have occurred en route (meaning that it was higher near Fukushima). Fish famously retain toxins; perhaps it would be better to eat fish caught off the opposite coast?
It must be a scary time at the moment in Japan. More odd things occur near nuclear power plants at the best of times, such as three-eyed fish in Argentina. How dangerous it is for humans is hard to say, but there is something that seems especially fearful about transformations of natural forms.
The standard before Tsunami disaster was 1 becquerel, 10 becquerels is a limit as acceptable choice.
I stopped eating fish caught off the coast of Pacific Ocean last year and started choosing such as salmon from Argentina, Norway. I had chosen fish from USA, too.
Now I need to think it again.
I think we are losing options more and more. Fukushima nuclear leakage still goes on and radiation pollution is spreading day by day.
These combined making blue tuna fin much more dangerous.
By burning radioactive debris, contamination of soil became conspicuous. In a city where 10 tonnes of experimental burning took place caesium 134 -137 index rises from 10 to 1970 becquerels.
By starting burning 5,000 tonnes a day in Tsunami affected area by December, USA must have some influence. Where to burn debris inside Japan might be a purely internal affairs though..
Some report suggests the collapse of No 4 reactor is near. If it took place, no one in the word cannot keep on being ignorant.
Caesium fallout continues from Fukushima nuclear power plant reactor. Recent biggest one is 71.4 mega becquerels per square kilometres on 12th, May.
By the way now here near my residence air dose rate is 0.050-057 by PA1000 and 0.08-0.09 by RD1008. I saw it in a bulletin board.
Strange things are those contaminated food is never thrown away. They are not bought by household though, used in a restaurant, fast food shop or send to a factory, packed, making canned foods.
You're worried about contaminated debris, but just how much of the total contamination could have landed on the tsunami's debris piles? Very little; most of it would have wound up on soil or rock. Some of that has certainly washed down into subsoil or into surface waters and out to sea already.
Of the contamination on the debris, some of that will wind up in the ash. More will wind up caught by scrubbers or other filters. What escapes is a fraction of a very small fraction.
I think the government is right about this. They wouldn't be pursuing this course if there was any significant danger from it, and even a cursory analysis suggests there's nothing to worry about. When the "contaminated" tuna is far less radioactive than a banana....
Many houses and buildings were destroyed by big waves and left piles of debris there. They were probably contaminated by bit of harmful substances, but because the area hit by big waves were not industrial area the chemical contamination must be little.
After the earthquake on 11th of March, four small nuclear explosions occurred in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant from 15th to 21st of March. Radioactive plume hit Tokyo and other East Japan towns. Debris were contaminated by this thick radiation plume.
I attached the file of how debris are polluted by radiation. Please take a look at it and think if it's dangerous to burn it.
They wouldn't be pursuing this course if there was any significant danger from it, and even a cursory analysis suggests there's nothing to worry about.
Remember many government officials and politicians in Tokyo were exposed by lethal dose of radiation in March. They are desperately trying to take us to hell with them. 40 million people who live in Metro were exposed..their time left is short. That's what I think..

You would also see them disappear from public life due to acute illness, their hair would fall out, etc. If they're still walking around and have all their hair, you know it didn't happen.

I suspect that the mercury and PCB content is a lot more dangerous than the Cs-137.

Your best choice may be to just pack up and move far away... :(
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that the typical banana has 15 Bq of radioactivity from the potassium-40 in it?
ReplyDeleteIf fewer people wind up eating tuna, maybe I'll be able to afford sashimi again.

ReplyDeleteSo it it certainly one of the best choice.

There's one major problem with that claim: if they were exposed to fatal doses of radiation 14 months ago, most would have been dead a year ago because the latent period for death from acute radiation sickness is 8 weeks or less.
