Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCo), operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi General Electric reactors, revealed that rock trout caught in the Pacific Ocean near the nuclear power plant, contain 510000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram!!!
Holy crap retiring Popeman, the official safe limit is only 100 becquerels per kilogram!!!
The fish was caught on 17 February 2013. This is yet more proof that the GE designed disaster reactors are still pumping massive amounts of radiation into the ocean. (and remember, the prevailing ocean current brings that radiation straight to the west coast of North America)
And here’s proof that contamination is increasing: Back in December 2012 they caught a fish that had 234000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram. So in the past two months the levels went up by 256000 becquerels!
And for more insult to injury, TEPCo has refused to make mandatory yearly reports on the the amount of radiation contamination that employees encounter! That’s according to the Japanese Radiation Effects Association (REA).
Officials with the REA say TEPCo stopped making the reports in 2011 (the year of the melt downs). 21000 employees have been involved in trying to contain the ongoing nuclear disaster. TEPCo publicly apologized and gave the excuse that they’ve been having problems “digitizing” the info, and they hope to submit the two years of missing data to the REA in March 2013.
