TEPCO released the result of their study for radioactive contamination on fishery products within a 20-kilometer radius of the plant. Levels of radioactive Cesium detected in fishes are below newly introduced standard
for food products.

OF COURSE they are... BWAHAHA.

Fishermen in disaster-stricken areas say life now far tougher than last year

"I wonder how long this (voluntary ban) will continue," he said. "We may eventually have to stop fishing for other kinds of fish as well ..."

In step with the government's new food safety standards that lowered the maximum allowable dose of radiation per kilogram of food from 500 becquerels to 100 becquerels, the Miyagi Prefectural Government in March increased the number of marine food samples subject to testing from last year's 20 per week to 100 per week.

As a result, radioactive doses far exceeding the new limit were detected in four kinds of local fish, including sea bass, with the highest detected radiation dose of 360 becquerels per kilogram, and flounder, which had a maximum detected radiation dose of 400 becquerels per kilogram. The results led the Miyagi Prefectural Government and prefectural fishery cooperatives to institute a self-imposed ban on the fishing of all four kinds of fish this season at specified fishing grounds.

Makes you wonder what they'd have found last year with maximized testing, instead of 20 samples per week.
