Diluted? DILUTED????

Do you have a clue what happens when a single particle of Cesium 137 decays into ots daughter product?

Good luck with that. The ocean will eventually cleanse itself, but in the meantime we’re told “it’s diluted” and you fell for it?

What happens when it bioaccumulates and seagulls.sptead it around?

C’mon...

Not much.

April 2014, studies confirmed the presence of radioactive tuna off the coasts of the Pacific U.S. Researchers carried out tests on 26 albacore tuna caught prior to the 2011 power plant disaster and those caught after.

However, the amount of radioactivity is less than that found naturally in a single banana. Caesium-137 and caesium-134 have been noted in Japanese whiting in Tokyo Bay as of 2016. “Concentration of radiocesium in the Japanese whiting was one or two orders of magnitude higher than that in the sea water, and an order of magnitude lower than that in the sediment.” They were still within food safety limits.
