> Or the absurdly high amount of Cesium being found in migrating Tuna?
10 times higher levels than normal of a single radioactive element is still not dangerous, especially since this is temporary. The main dangers with eating tuna still comes from their high mercury content, which is mainly due to coal power plants.
