This week, Japanese authorities released terrifying new information about radiation leaking into the Pacific Ocean from a damaged nuclear plant in Fukushima. On Sunday, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) said radiation levels near a water storage tank at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant were 18 times higher than previously reported—enough to kill a person in a few hours. Then on Wednesday, radiation levels jumped another 20 percent in the same spot. And most recently, South Korea banned all fish imports from the Fukushima region.
TEPCO, the operator of the Fukushima plant that was damaged during a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, also admitted about 330 tons of contaminated groundwater is currently flowing into the Pacific Ocean every day. Japan’s nuclear watchdog increased the severity of the ongoing leak from level one (an “anomaly”) to level three (a “serious incident”).
“It’s not going to be the last, and probably not the worst,” Dr. Erica Frank says of the latest incident. http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/canadian-scientists-are-monitoring-the-coast-for-fukushima-fallout

A media rep at the CFIA assured me testing was still ongoing. They’re just not making the results available to the public. “While continuing to monitor the situation, at this point in time the CFIA does not see the need to adjust our food safety controls,” Elena Koutsavakis from the CFIA wrote in an email Thursday. “Based on our ongoing assessment, food safety controls would be adjusted, if warranted, to maintain the safety of Canada’s food supply.”
