The radiation rate from Chernobyl is still higher than Fukushima ever was.

Except that the environmental movement is a farce. They don't really care about the environment - they want power and take a perverse pleasure in preventing the advancement of business and society while cloaked in the mantle of the righteous warrior.

The article cites many specific numbers but does not present them in a manner that allows the reader to come to a reasonable conclusion regarding the overall level of contamination or the overall risk.

Various articles over the past few years I've read have spoke about those things...radiation in the fish in the pacific etc. Just kept a ? about the info. This one seems to be very specific by comparison.

It seems the Japanese People have been kept in the dark about this.

I have no experience in the field, but the article didn't strike me as very persuasive. I would want more details, such as how much radiation is showing up on the U.S. west coast, and what does the actual science say about safe levels (as opposed to government regulations). If the danger level were as high as the article suggests, I suspect the environmental movement would be up in arms screaming for government action to "combat this menace", much as they are doing about "climate change". Instead, the issue is mostly dormant and Tokyo is still set to host the 2020 Olympics. I'll become more concerned about Fukushima when Japan does.

Thanks for the story OUC.
