It’s probably more serious than what you just said.
It’s truly frightening.
What happened was these fish were caught [and tested] five months after the accident…. but the research wasn’t published until June of this year. Scientists sat on this information for 8 or 9 months while waiting to get report published…
It still had body burdens of cesium that were surprisingly high for a fish that had only been near Fukushima for a couple of weeks.
And what’s been going on since then? We know cesium is being continually released via ground water and as well as being deposited from these plumes.
It’s likely that the next catch is going to be worse than the tuna they caught.
Every one of these tunas had high levels of cesium 134 and 137…
Cesium detected from surface to bottom of ocean
‘Snow’ falling through water column, loaded with cesium…
Concentration in small fish is higher than these tuna.
So one would expect that now as more and more tuna start to swim toward the US we’ll see higher and higher levels of radioactivity in the tuna.
I don’t think that trend is going to stop for the next couple of years.
