Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) have published a report regarding albacore tuna captured off the Oregon coast that was tested for radioactive levels after the Fukushima disaster.

According to this study, the levels of radiation found in the fish are no higher than the “average [a] human is exposed to in everyday life.”

Twenty-six albacore tuna were measured from the region. Regardless of the Fukushima disaster, the OSU team claims that radiation levels are “not high enough to make them dangerous for human consumption.”

Delvan Neville, research assistant to the Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics (NERHP) at OSU said: “You can’t say there is absolutely zero risk because any radiation is assumed to carry at least some small risk.”

Neville said: “These trace levels are too small to be a realistic concern. A year of eating albacore with these cesium traces is about the same dose of radiation as you get from spending 23 seconds in a stuffy basement from radon gas, or sleeping next to your spouse for 40 nights from the natural potassium-40 in their body. It’s just not much at all.”

This study supports the notion that although the caesium 137 and 134 contained in the tuna is the “same dosage of radiation as one would get from spending 23 seconds in the presence of radon gas, or perhaps sleeping next to your spouse for 40 nights from the natural potassium-40 in their body.”

While Neville admits that “it is possible that additional exposures to the Fukushima plume could increase radiation levels in albacore.”

Jason Philips, associate researcher at the College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (COAS) at OSU explained that the findings of Neville point to the migratory path of these tuna from Japan to the Pacific Coast of the US and could “expand the pilot program to look at fish from California and other parts of the North Pacific.”

In 2013, Researchers from the Center of Excellence for Climate System Science (CECSS) have concluded that the radioactive plume from the meltdown at Fukushima will reach the US in 2014 will be harmless.

According to their computer models, it would actually take a decade to travel across the world’s oceans.

Erik van Sebille, co-author of the study said: “Observers on the west coast of the United States will be able to see a measurable increase in radioactive material three years after the event. However, people on those coastlines should not be concerned as the concentration of radioactive material quickly drops below World Health Organization safety levels as soon as it leaves Japanese waters.”

The UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) claimed that their research confirms Japanese milk and vegetables are safe for human consumption.

They reported that radiation levels are below cancer-causing levels.

In May 2011, the Norsk Institute’s online site, which was monitoring worldwide radioactive contamination across the globe. They compiled a list of toxins that were introduced by the Fukushima plume.

Here is a short list of the half-life of five of the radioactive isotopes in the air, food and water that are poisoning us and children:

• Cesium 137: 30 years
• Plutonium 239: 24,000 years
• Strontium 90: 29 years [mimics calcium in the body]
• Uranium 235: 700-million years
• Iodine 131: 8 days [absorbed into the thyroid and gives heavy radiation dose

Here in the US, the EnviroReporter, through their Inspector Alert nuclear radiation monitor, conducted over 1,500 radiation tests after a severe storm in Southern California.

The findings were astounding.

The radiation levels were the highest ever seen; at 506% above normal background levels.

The rain in Southern California that was tested was made up of sea mists that moved over the Pacific Ocean.

In the Los Angeles Basin, the higher trade winds showed high levels of radiation. The rain in the area of Santa Monica monitored by the Radiation Station began showing high levels of radiation after fallout was detected in tests beginning in March 2011.
