Radioactive Shrimp - No one mentioned the obvious

[MichSwampbuck]

I want some of the radioactive shrimp I can get at my local grocery store, the shrimp from Indonesia. You know, the seafood with Cesium-137 isotopes they have been pumping out of Fukushima for almost 15 years now. The same stuff they claim has a naturally occurring amount in seawater, even though it is entirely unnatural and can only come from fission power plants. It is our signature in nature now, we have "tagged" the entire world with unnatural radioactive isotopes.

Maybe radioactive shrimp can be a healthy addition to our diet. I remember a couple of years after Fukushima, there was a politician who said that a little radiation is good for you. The models they had back then showed the radiation would spread over the entire Pacific in 5 years. Now add ten more years and see what areas are unaffected in the largest ocean on planet Earth. They never stopped pumping the seawater on those hot coals burning away in the basement. Makes me wonder when the core will drop down enough to cover it with dirt and forget about it.

Well, maybe you could know the level of contamination and the areas it is concentrating in and what sea food is glowing, but the information is hard to find, in fact it is nearly non-existent. I'm seriously surprised they admitted "there could be" some radioactive sea food and recalled it. I'd like to see some readings of this shrimp and see if it is contaminated and if so, how much.

Food safety alert: FDA issues warning about shrimp contaminated with RADIOACTIVE isotope

The FDA has issued a recall for specific Walmart-brand frozen shrimp after detecting trace radioactive cesium-137 contamination (68 Bq/kg) in samples imported from Indonesian supplier BMS Foods. The levels are under the 1,200 Bq/kg safety threshold, long-term exposure risks remain.

Also surprised the solution is to throw it in the trash.  Where it can sit in a landfill for its 30 year half life (maybe not the worst place assuming it stays there).  Or go unknown to a garbage incinerator to get released all over again.

Are you trying to developed a new super hero Shrimp Man. Because that is how many were made.

Its not just Walmart brands any more. Several brands of Indonesian shrimp are recalled.

Now then, have you thought of a theam song?

Someone is probably working on that idea.

I did notice the double talk in that article you linked.
 

The FDA said all of the brands were processed by the Indonesian supplier PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati, operating as BMS Foods, and the company has been placed under a full import alert.

The shrimp placed under recall alerts may have been prepared, packed or held in "insanitary conditions" during which they became contaminated with Cs-137, the FDA said.

No products have tested positive for Cs-137 in the U.S. marketplace at this time, and no illnesses have been reported to date, according to the FDA.

How ever, the FDA did find some . . .

I have seen several articles on this in the past week. All pretty much from panic, we don't know, and it's not that bad in the same article.

They are trying out triple speak.

Well no one could have foreseen putting a nuclear power plant on the ocean, in a tsunami zone, the ring of fire, with generators under ground as a problem.

Just like no one can foresee how mining like never before and burning trees for power as a bad idea.

It's a no brainier, literally.

I don't eat shrimp very often, and there is not much in those shrimp from what I read.  If you eat a lot of them, it could be bad though.

There is way more radiation emitted by a cat scan, many times that of having like five x-rays of a bone or of teeth.  They have now started to try to limit cat scans to no more than one every six months since someone actually tested it and found out it is harmful.  Now if you get a cat scan, it probably would not be good to eat that shrimp for a few months.  Plus the radioactive iodine they sometimes use for tests is also not good for you and eating those shrimp would be more harmful.

If I put a piece of charcoal next to the faucet when it is running, it gathers a charge from the water and sets off the geiger counter.  It is because my water comes from an underground stream or river I was told, and that reading is nothing to worry about.  It is common to get false readings near some streams and rivers too if there is burn't wood there, the charcoal and sometimes minerals in rocks will pick up that charge of ions from running water I was told.  I asked some people who had lots of knowledge on the subject.  That radiation is also present at the head of a stream that comes from a spring coming from the ground.  It is the ionization of running water.  I thought it was going to because of the Thorium in hills about ten miles from our house, but was told it most likely was not because removing the charcoal from near the water stopped the geiger counter from reacting immediately.

The shrimp were contaminated and they tested for what type of radiation it was, the Cesium is a concern and if you pig out on the shrimp it might be a problem.  I like to eat shrimp occasionally at the Hong Kong buffet, and I do pig out there on seafoods, especially shrimp....because I want to get my money's worth....I think I am a cheapskate.    The wife eats all noodles and crab rangoons, they don't make much on me but they do on her....and I always leave a good tip because I feel a little guilty for pigging out on shrimp, crab legs, and the fish they have there.
