Radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster has not been “anything of concern” in Alaska since the 2011 tsunami, the state commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation told lawmakers on Wednesday.
Commissioner Larry Hartig said the state has not seen concerning radiation levels from tsunami debris or in the water since the event and has no plans to launch its own radiation monitoring team.
“We’re talking about such small units in the millionths, billionths or trillionths level and how you relate to a dose that’s relevant to people. It just shows that you get more radiation risk from eating a banana than eating a tuna in that area.”
I only eat atlantic and gulf seafood. Call me a chicken little, but I do not trust pacific seafood.
Well he can have our Tuna. We quit eating any kind of seafood a week after the accident. Better safe than sorry.
