Facts In Brief
FISHERMEN AND SEAFOOD SUPPLIERS DELIVER APPROXIMATELY 300 SPECIES TO MARKET EACH YEAR, FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN.
Tablets only protect us against Iodine 131, not against Cesium 134, 137, Plutonium, Uranium, and Strontium 90 radioactive particles. It’s not a surprise that the gov’ts hasn’t been more forth coming with the true readings of the radiation. After all, the Gulf Oil Spill is supposed to all cleaned up now and of course the 9 11 first responders, fire fighters, police officers and volunteer workers all have cancer or have already passed. All the while the EPA said everything was OK!!

Fukushima Japan Plutonium Radiation and the Pacific Ocean The ongoing situation regarding radiation from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant remains a subject of significant concern, especially in relation to the Pacific Ocean and its impact on seafood. The YouTube video titled "Fukushima Japan plutonium radiation and the Pacific Ocean" sheds light on the serious ramifications of the radiation leaks.

Background Overview​

Following the catastrophic events of the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the Fukushima plant was severely damaged, leading to concerns about radioactive contamination. Reports indicate that approximately 300 species of seafood are harvested from the Pacific Ocean each year, leading to questions about the safety of consuming these products in light of the radiation emitted from Fukushima.

Key Concerns Highlighted in the Video​

  1. Radiation Contamination:
    • The video discusses how the tablets available for public protection primarily guard against Iodine-131, failing to address other harmful particles such as Cesium-134, Cesium-137, Plutonium, Uranium, and Strontium-90. This omission raises alarm about the comprehensive safety of food sources.
    []Government Transparency:
    • There's a critique about the government's lack of transparency regarding the actual readings of radiation. Historical references to the Gulf Oil Spill and 9/11 incidents evoke distrust about public health announcements and readiness.
    [
    ]Environmental Impact:
    • The video emphasizes that radioactive materials not only impact the immediate vicinity of the plant but can also travel and affect vast distances, intermingling with marine life and potentially entering the human food chain through seafood consumption.
    []Health Risks:
    • The presenter draws parallels to past nuclear incidents like Chernobyl, stressing that just as soil and animals were contaminated in that event, similar risks loom for the Pacific marine ecosystem due to the ongoing issues at Fukushima.
    [
    ]Recommendations for Seafood Consumption:
    • Given the alarming data, viewers are advised to reconsider their seafood consumption, especially products sourced from the Pacific Ocean. The presenter personally commits to avoiding tuna and other potentially contaminated species and underscores the importance of consumer awareness.

      Community Involvement​

      The video not only serves as a wake-up call for the general public but also encourages discussions on forums like this about the implications for health and environment. It invites viewers to share their thoughts and experiences regarding seafood safety and any research they may partake concerning radiation and its effects.

      Conclusion​

      With increasing scrutiny on nuclear safety and environmental health, it's critical for communities to stay informed and proactive. Engage in discussions, share personal experiences, or express concerns regarding seafood safety amidst the lingering aftermath of Fukushima. If you have insights or additional resources regarding this topic, please feel free to contribute! What are your thoughts on seafood safety in relation to the ongoing situation at Fukushima?
