Fukushima Japan plutonium radiation and the Pacific Ocean
Fukushima Japan plutonium radiation and the Pacific Ocean Facts In Brief FISHERMEN AND SEAFOOD SUPPLIERS DELIVER APPROXIMATELY 300 SPECIES TO MARKET EACH YEAR, FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN. Tablets only protect us against Iodine 131, not against Cesium 134, 137, Plutonium, Uranium, and Strontium 90 radioactive particles. It's not a surprise that the gov'ts hasn't been more forth coming with the true readings of the radiation. Also, everything is as said, speculative, why?? In my opinion, I feel at least 1 of the 4 reactors has melted down fully; they just haven't confirmed that just yet!! As we continue to research the bits of info given to us, we too can speculate just how bad it really is!! After all, the Gulf Oil Spill is supposed to all cleaned up now and of course the 9 11 first responders, fire fighters, police officers and volunteer workers all have cancer or have already passed. All the while the EPA said everything was OK!! Seafood species harvested in the Pacific Ocean.

Officials reported radioactive water has spread beyond a damaged reactor building, and radiation has also gotten into the ground. www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/world/jan-june11/japan_03-28.html
