Everyone should avoid Alaska like the plague. Going to be nothing but zombies here real soon.
I throw the three headed fish back. Other than that I don't think about it much.
All the glow-in-the-dark fish are really saving me money on my electric bill.
I don't think you realize the extent of the size of the pacific ocean nor that the Russians and others have dumped old nuclear reactors out there for decades.
National Geographic had a nice article on how much stuff is dumped out there.
I'd search around for some REPUTABLE articles on the topic and you'll quickly realize why it's not a big issue that's still talked about. Most of the early fearmongers were just trying to sell clicks to their website and things like freeze-dried food, gold, radiation detectors and have moved on to some new faux-threat.
Haven't seen that Geo article. Sounds interesting.
This National Geographic story downplays their risk.
National Geographic: Sunken Nuclear Subs -- Radiation Risk?
Most agree that a more immediate and dangerous threat than reactors on the seafloor is reactors in inactive submarines docked in Russia. Dozens of subs with radioactive fuel are deteriorating in port, and the Russian government cannot afford to dispose of them..."
Ever since National Geographic got bought out... (taken over) I find its validity doubtful.
It would be nice to get some updates on whats going on in the Pacific now that the Fukushima reactor has pretty much completely melted down and the radiation levels are skyrocketing there.
Its really counterintuitive to believe that this isn't going to reach the west coast or that it will have little effect on the US.
I wonder if fisherman or crabbers have noticed anything unusual in the catch? Would that be a good way to tell?
