The Most Radioactive Fish Ever From Fukushima

Almost two years after the awful nuclear disaster occurred, a fish caught near Fukushima on Friday January 18th had a record-breaking level of radioactive contamination over 2500x the legal limit. TEPCO measured 'Mike the Murasoi' at 254,000 becquerels per kilogram (with the limit for edible seafood at 100 becquerels). As Le Monde reports, the previous record (caught on August 21st 2012) was a mere 25,800 becquerels/kg. As further precautions, TEPCO is installing new nets 20km around the Fukushima Daichi site to avoid highly contaminated fish gettig too far and being consumed by other species. While Mike's family are no doubt distraught (at him being caught and being so radioactive), it appears (somewhat disappointingly) that there is no apparent third eye, lazer fins, legs, or other 'expected' 'blinky' malformations.

any seafood should be off limits. also be cautious of things coming from japan especially cars. they could be made in america but the parts could be from japan. so just watch out, you could be baking yourself in radiation sitting in that new 2014 Q50 or w.e

Let's hope that this nuclear disaster brings some type of benefit. Enlarged backsides on the females of Fukushima? Yes please

 

[Warmachine85]

I wouldnt eat that fish posted even if it wasn't radioactive.

 

[yeah]

Radiation persists in everything, living organisms and inanimate objects alike -- shoutout to Chernoybl. Following the nuclear incident in Japan, a giantic plume of nuclear debris floated over the pacific and reached the US: http://gizmodo.com/it-took-2-1-years-for-fukushimas-radioactive-plume-to-r-1676881261

What andycrazn is suggesting is that the water, which was also contaiminated during the incident, has had an adverse effect on a large portion of marine life and should be avoided. He's also cautious about other imports, particularly cars, since they are essentially hunks of metal that are also potentially contaiminated. I'm not sure about that one, but it is a sort of valid concern.

Yall realized dude said that 2 years ago, right?
