SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Radioactive contamination from the Fukushima power plant disaster has been detected as far as almost 400 miles off Japan in the Pacific Ocean, with water showing readings of up to 1,000 times more than prior levels, scientists reported Tuesday.

But those results for the substance cesium-137 are far below the levels that are generally considered harmful, either to marine animals or people who eat seafood, said Ken Buesseler of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts.

"We're not over the hump" yet in terms of radioactive contamination of the ocean because of continued leakage from the plant, Buesseler said in an interview before Tuesday's talk. He was chief scientist for the cruise that collected the data.....snip~

Sure it's all below the level. I get him something to eat from those Waters and say. Go ahead and show us how safe it is to eat it? Continued leakage????? :shocked:

I'd imagine a lot of Japanese do eat from those waters. Seafood is a mainstay of their diet.

I really don't think it's that bad. Old energy sure loves to keep beating this drum about nuclear power. Coal mines have killed a lot more people.

You never had scallops with higher levels of radiation? I try to keep mine within the safe limits but sometimes I go all out. :grin:

Nah man, it's just like going to the beach and forgetting your sunscreen. No biggie.

Plus, how cool would it be to grow gills and be able to breathe underwater?

Good point. Or how about some superhuman strength?

Ya'll best be careful Messing round with the Amphibians Gods and their Domain. They might not want to come out and say they have been here all this Time! :laugh:

Which is why we don't have gills, can't breathe underwater, nor have stomachs like a billie-goat. :wink:
