Took my radiation survey meter to the grocery store.
It registered .05 rad/hr at the tuna shelves.
I am not concerned about a rad per day or less. However, what if one swallows a tiny hot fallout particle and it ends up in a vital organ?
I know the anti nuke crowd has been overstating the danger for generations, but this time I wonder if the danger is real.
05 rad/hr*24 hr= 1.2 rad/day. Sounds kind of high to be just background. Did you calibrate your meter against a standard source recently?
the real test would be to measure the radioctivity of the tuna itself. cs137 decays via beta. Your meter wouldn't be able measure beta through a can anyway.
Nuclear energy is only dangerous when it melts down. Fear of it melting down is a conspiracy theory. Git with da program! :)
I’m usually really big on wild salmon when it is in season, but I’ll have to say, this has given me pause this year.
