this years salmon fishing
« on: March 29, 2011, 04:53:44 PM »

any opinions on with the radiation now measuring on B.C.'s shores from Japan's radioactive outpour on the effects of marine live and food digestion complications......it's one thing to wash your hands in it and another to consume it! :-\

Not concerned at all.  Do you know how much radiation you get on a trans-Atlantic flight?  I would have to eat nothing but Salmon all day long all year long to come close to the amount of radiation I get exposed to from air travel alone.

You are right, but that information isn't prime time news worthy. ;)

Hopefully 1son you are right, they have found radiation in milk produced in Washington State, but low counts, just as low counts have been found here in B.C. so far..., in Japan they are closing those reactors to stop the spew into the ocean which has readings to-day now 4000X's above acceptable low counts found here on our coast, we do know prevailing currents are going to send their water our way, sure it will be lower counts by the time our shores are reached, but the fish swim in that middle ground too.
