gogogoOCT. 21, 2013 - 06:15PM JST That "safe" seafood isn't looking so safe now.

Yes, I've been saying that for some time.

That's an assumption that many people make, but is in fact, false. I've worked in clinical environments in both hospital and research settings. I was also a clinical safety trainer for 4 years. Blood is NOT considered a major biohazard, as it's a very inefficient vector for disease.

This is how you can get your ears pierced in a shopping mall by an unlicensed teenager. As long as the instruments have been adequately cleaned, the risk is minimal.

Of course, I've no idea if this particular entrepreneur was using rubbing alcohol or an autoclave. :-P

You are so wrong on so many points that it isn't worth addressing. WOW

T_rexmaxytimeOCT. 11, 2013 - 12:15AM JST My question is, are the fishes safe to eat???

NO

English speaking people also understand that TEPCO doesn't have a clue.

Still a coverup. This plant has been leaking since day 1.

If they are saying it is close, that means it has been happening for the last two years, count on it.

They don't have a clue.....I won't eat seafood for years.

They don't have a clue, gross incompetence.

Yeah, from 120 liters to 300 tons, they don't have a clue...

They seemed resigned to losing the battle. And every time there is a leak the say it is 300 tons. That seems to be the go to number, meaning they Don't have a clue.

This is just plain stupid.

I would guess this has been occurring since day one of the melt down and in typical Japanese fashion a gross under estimation? Don't eat sea food!

Bad news for a country that lives on sea food.

There is no over site unless you bring in an overseas agency.

These eejits need to be fired-NOW!

They don't have a clue...

They don't have a clue

I'm sure the destination must have been a lab where it would undergo testing...or a restaurant ...

To ask the question is to not understand history.

Could the leakage be deliberate????

Tepco doesn't have a clue. The plant is still leaking radiation in the ground and air.

If Tepco is reporting this, it makes me wonder how much they aren't reporting. Watch what you eat and drink.

That is why I only eat imported products.

Eat seafood at your own risk.

utility’s plans to dump 100 tons of groundwater a day from the devastated plant into the sea

2 years later and there still isn't a containment plan. This is why I don't eat fish and other food products from Japan, who really knows the source?

I don't believe them.

Sorry, but I won't eat rice grown in Japan, particularly when it is mixed. I don't blame countries for banning food imports from Japan when this kind of stuff is going on.

All planting of rice should be banned this close to Fukushima

He should lose his license and his car. What an eejit.

LOL, the batteries are NOT used in flight, they are not a threat to flight safety.
