Fukushima Japan crisis direct affect on food and fish Long path to recovery for fishermen in Japan's northeast www.csmonitor.com/World/Asia-Pacific/2011/0414/Long-path-to-recovery-for-fishermen-in-Japan-s-northeast Radiation fears haunt Japan's fishing industry marketplace.publicradio.org/display/web/2011/04/12/am-radiation-fears-haunt-japans-fishing-industry/ Why is plutonium so radioactive? www.xkaw.com/Education_Reference/Science_Mathematics.asp?id=2039148 Studying uranium's effects is challenging because it can damage DNA in two distinct ways. Workers who process uranium into nuclear fuel for energy or weapons face additional exposure to enriched uranium. www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/newscience/depleted-enriched-uranium-affect-dna-differently The Effects of Uranium Radiation www.ehow.com/list_5852845_effects-uranium-radiation.html The main threat to humans comes from inhalation. While it is very difficult to create airborne dispersion of a heavy metal like plutonium, certain forms, including the insoluble plutonium oxide, at a particle size less than 10 microns, are a hazard. Ingestion is not a significant hazard, because plutonium passing through the gastro-intestinal tract is poorly absorbed and is expelled from the body before it can do harm. Any that is actually absorbed rather than expelled generally stays in the body for decades and continues to expose the surrounding tissues to radiation. This radiation may eventually increase a person's chance of developing cancer or may be fatal. The main isotopes of plutonium are: The half-life is the time it takes for a radionuclide to lose half of its own radioactivity. Pu-238, (half-life 88 years, alpha decay) Pu-239, fissile (half-life 24,000 years, alpha decay) Pu-240, (half-life 6,500 years, alpha decay) Pu-241, fissile (half-life 14 years, beta decay) Pu-242, (half-life 37,600 years, alpha decay) If you haven't seen these videos in my uploads, feel free to check them out!! Fukushima Japan plutonium radiation and the Pacific Ocean. I know you'll be amazed as to how much and how many species of sea food we as humans eat out of the Pacific Ocean!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b_I4FOt3O0 Fukushima Japan nuclear radiation crisis and Bikini Island Japan will never be the same!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzd83zeWCmg
