All fish are less radioactive than you. The only problem with nuclear waste in the Sea is the blackmail from the environmentalists. Bellona makes a lot of money from it. Frederic Hauge met at the yearly conference for the fishing industry in Norway and told in very direct words that unless you hire me as a consultant I will tell that your fish is radioactive.

More important is this old news found in the Norwegian version of Wikipedia and translated by me: On the way to a conference in 1989 with Morten Harket, Hauge was arrested in Osaka, Japan after customs officials found six grams of hashish in his cigarette pack. The case was later dismissed. [2] In 2006, Hauge enough again arrested, this time after a police dog was aware of ten grams of hashish in his pockets, the Poles festival outside Larvik. [3] [4] This time was Hauge fined of ten thousand kroner for storage. -- jo "La vĂ©ritĂ© est en marche et rien ne l'arrĂȘtera." -- Emile Zola,"J'accuse ...", 1898. |

Here the scale does not matter because fish has no lungs and then fish do not smoke. Fish also do not eat dumped reactors and is very well protected as 10 cm of water reduces gamma-radiation by 50%. Men do smoke and can then be damaged by smoke and radon. -- jo "Some people will do anything to save the Earth, except taking a science course" P.J. O'Rourke |
