<p>As the nuclear disaster in Fukushima continues to unfold, there has been recent information on radiation at sea water around the plant. So far, this is an issue that is very much focused in a small area of Japan, but since the leaking might persist and even increase, and both uranium and the even much more worrisome plutonium are involved, I wonder if anyone knows about the possibility of that radiation contaminating Pacific Ocean fish, at some point in the near future.</p>

<p>our drinking water here in massachusetts just tested positive for some radiation from rainwater as a direct result of the fukishima disaster, but they are telling us that the half life of that particular isotope is 8 days.</p> <p>ETA: sorry i misspoke- its not in our drinking water, but was found in the rainwater.</p>

<p>Here is a great article by a world leading nuclear and medical physicist that really puts radiation into perspective: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12860842" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-12860842</a></p> <p>I think that we have to remember, the media is not really there to fully inform us - rather they like to scare us because it gets them better ratings. </p>

<p>the radiation is far less an issue than the mercury load, which has been there for quite some time. if a person has a sub-par detoxification ability and/or mercury amalgam fillings then they already have too much mercury and could do without the fish. get a urine toxic metals test and see for yourself.</p>
