Radioactive Materials in Fish Studied
A group of Japanese researchers are studying fish organs to estimate how long radioactive materials will remain in fish caught in waters off the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The researchers belong to the National Research Institute of Fisheries Science in Yokohama, near Tokyo.
They collected organs called ear stones from 30 rock trout and black porgy caught off Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures since last August.
Fish ear stones grow in layers. The researchers say it is possible to pinpoint the approximate time when fish absorbed radioactive materials if the layer containing the elements is identified.
They say they want to determine if the substances are residue from the nuclear accident in March 2011.
The head of the institute's Center for Fisheries Oceanography and Marine Ecosystem, Tomoo Watanabe, says radioactivity levels in fish are expected to decrease if they were caused by the accident.
High levels of radioactive materials continue to be detected in some fish caught off Fukushima Prefecture since the accident in March 2011.
Watanabe says his institute's data could help to decide when full-scale fishing in the area can be resumed.
A Sushi chef actually bought a single Tuna fish caught of Amori Prefecture for a whopping 1.8 MILLION Dollars - WITHOUT TESTING FOR RADIATION! He hopes to sell it to as many people as Possible. WTF.

Important to note that this video was posted back on May 30, 2012. The Radioactivity in the Tuna had been detected MONTHS after the Nuclear accident as far as CALIFORNIA!
Kevin Kamps, Beyond Nuclear joins Thom Hartmann. Now on to a story that - tragically - just won't go away: The Fukushima Nuclear crisis. Radioactive fish are now swimming in U.S. waters. Scientists have - for the first time - discovered Bluefin tuna that were contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear crisis in Japan last year - swimming off the coast of California. Radioactive cesium ten times above the normal level was found in the fish - though health officials say the levels are too low to be considered a health threat. Then again - no amount of radiation is good for you. Meanwhile - back at the crippled nuclear plant - a bulge was detected in the walls of reactor four - increasing fears that the structure holding tens of thousands of highly radioactive spent fuel rods is not sound. Should the reactor four building give way - it could trigger a nuclear disaster even worse than Chernobyl.
