<P checkedByCssHelper="true">Every bluefin tuna tested in the waters off
California has shown to be contaminated with radiation that originated in
Fukushima. Every single one.</P>

target=_blank checkedByCssHelper="true"><FONT color=#ff4629>Wall Street
Journal</FONT></A> reported on a Stanford University study. Daniel Madigan, a
marine ecologist who led the study, was quoted as saying, “The tuna packaged it
up (the radiation) and brought it across the world’s largest ocean. We were
definitely surprised to see it at all and even more surprised to see it in every
one we measured.”</P>
<P checkedByCssHelper="true">Another member of the study group, Marine biologist
Nicholas Fisher at Stony Brook University in New York State reported, “We found
that absolutely every one of them had comparable concentrations of cesium 134
and cesium 137.”</P>
<P sizset="false" sizcache047890421153667045="54 49 32"
checkedByCssHelper="true">That was over a year ago. The fish that were tested
had relatively little exposure to the radioactive waste being dumped into the
ocean following the nuclear <A

checkedByCssHelper="true"><FONT color=#ff4629>melt-through</FONT></A> that
occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in March of 2011. Since that time, the
flow of radioactive contaminants dumping into the ocean has continued unabated.
Fish arriving at this juncture have been swimming in contaminants for all of
their lives.</P>
<P sizset="false" sizcache047890421153667045="54 49 33"
checkedByCssHelper="true">Radioactive cesium doesn’t sink to the sea floor, so
fish swim through it and ingest it through their gills or by eating organisms
that have already ingested it. It is a compound that does occur naturally in
nature, however, the levels of cesium found in the tuna in 2012 had levels 3
percent higher than is usual. Measurements for this year haven’t been made
available, or at least none that I have been able to find. I went looking for
the effects of ingesting cesium.<A

<BLOCKQUOTE checkedByCssHelper="true">
<P checkedByCssHelper="true">When contact with radioactive cesium occurs,
which is highly unlikely, a person can experience cell damage due to radiation
of the cesium particles. Due to this, effects such as nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea and bleeding may occur. When the exposure lasts a long time, people
may even lose consciousness. Coma or even death may then follow. How serious
the effects are depends upon the resistance of individual persons and the
duration of exposure and the concentration a person is exposed
to.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>

of cesium 134 is 2.0652 years. For cesium 137, the half life is 30.17 years.</P>

checkedByCssHelper="true">The Fukushima disaster is an ongoing battle with no
signs that humans are gaining the upper hand. The only good news to come out of
Japan has later been proven to be false and was nothing more than attempts by
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) to mislead the public and lull them into a
sense of security while the company searched vainly for ways to contain the
accident. This incident makes Three Mile Island and Chernobyl pale in
comparison. Those were nuclear meltdowns. A nuclear <A
href="http://www.naturalnews.com/032657_Fukushima_meltdown.html" target=_blank
checkedByCssHelper="true"><FONT color=#ff4629>melt-through</FONT></A> poses a
much more serious problem and is one that modern technology doesn’t have the
tools to address. Two and a half years later and the contaminants are still
flowing into the ocean and will continue to for the foreseeable future.</P>

assures us that our food supply is safe, that the levels of radiation found in
fish samples are within safe limits for consumption. But one has to question if
this is true and, if it is true now, will it remain true? Is this, like the
statements issued from TEPCO, another attempt to quell a public backlash in the
face of an unprecedented event that, as yet, has no solution and no end in
sight?</P>
