Don't let facts get in the way of the story, Cole. Everything's just FINE. No, really.

Does radiation dissipate that fast? The effects from the leak were seen across the Pacific and now they are just gone? The netflicks? show 'Dark Tourist' had an episode where they visited Fukushima...... They were on a bus tour and it seemed OK some of the time.... BUT They kept going in and out of hot spots. The radiation meters would go hot in some places and they freak out and get back on the bus to move out of the hot spots.... Finally the people on the bus voted and they ended up cutting the tour short because they didn't want to be exposed to any more radiation.... It made it seem like Japan wants people to move back into the area but it was still showing leathal levels in some places...

The Japanese are great people, very polite, respectful, will smile at you even though they don't like you. But their gov't will not hesitate to hide certain things from the public. And even though the common Japanese citizen is not dumb, they collectively tend to just go along with certain things instead of rocking the boat. That was my observation from living there. Would have loved to have surfed Fukushima, back then, without any fear of radiation. That country has a variety of waves and the beachbreaks and rivermouths are excellent

I hear the surf there is nuking! Sorry but someone was bound to say it.

Some guy stole my line.
You cant eat much pelagic fish, actually most seafood: because of mercury or bluegreen algae contamination here in florida. There are posted safe consumption levels for every species, lake, river, and harbor.
Sick......
But feel free to eat as much fukushima sushi as possible. They say it's safe....
Of course the west coasts of north, central, and south america now get to enjoy mercury AND atomic contamination consumption limits on their seafood.
Wear your leadlined eco friendly wetsuit there, and be sure to include tours of nagasaki and hiroshima.
My great japanese friends: hang in there brothers and sisters. It's a global issue now, up to us.
Btw: great surf, great surfers there

It's a democratic hoax

Despite continuing leakage, the sheer size of the Pacific and vigorous currents mean there's not much problem. Remember that nuclear weapons tests in the 1950s were exceedingly dirty. The real scandal for radiation exposure is at Chernobyl. This new book is important. Kate Brown, Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future

sure, dubdub!

Who needs Fukushima 5-g will be here soon enough
