A new all-time high radiation level has been detected in a fish near the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
A fat greenling, Hexagrammos otakii, a high-end delicacy in Japanese cuisine, was found to contain radioactive cesium 7,400 times the government's food safety standard.
The fish was caught at the port adjacent to the nuclear site, the plant's operating company said March 15.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the reading of 740,000 becquerels per kilogram is the highest ever recorded in its sampling surveys of marine life since the March 2011 disaster.

    • I'm not trying to say that this is not bad, because this is very bad, but... isn't it kind of a no brainer that fish near a nuclear plant which melted down would be chocked full of radiation and/or radioactive materials?

    • The whole planet is being raped and pillaged, or in this case part of the product of capitalizing on that pillaging is killing us....

      Thank GE.... Not only did they design the reactors, and should have known the placement on a fault line was a bad idea, & they haven't paid taxes in how long....?

      People blame the Japanese government, and they're right to do so, but if I buy a defective product and the regulators let it through, my legal case wouldn't be so much with the regulators, it would be with the manufacturer, and designer.
