150,000 SQ.KM of Pacific with Fukushima nuclear material - ‘Remarkable’ amount released in ocean

38. Is wasn't a "goofy platitude"

It responded to the substance of your error.

Bringing up Sr 90 (when none has been detected here and almost none was detected even in Japan) was a diversion (or simple misunderstanding).

But facts seem to go by the wayside in favor of your misperceptions.

The FDA did tens of thousands of checks just in the first couple months post-Fukushima... yet you sit here and just repeat nonsensical assumptions that the government isn't doing anything. They tested fish from Japan and 99.5% of them had no radiation from Fukushima detectable at all, while the remaining .5% were WELL below any regulatory threshold. In the absence of even fish from Japan causing problems, they told us that they weren't planning on a special program to test fish caught HERE... and the nuts (Gundersen etc.) made up nonsense about "the FDA refusing to even test!"... and that nonense has grown among the tinfoil hat crowd into a belief that our fish are contaminated and the government is hiding it from us.

The EPA dispatched additional radiation monitors to the parts of the US that would expect the highest levels to arrive... and they never saw anything to be even the slightest bit concerned about. Yet the tinfoil hat brigade instead looked at other sensors that were offline and declared that THAT was where the real contamination was and the government was turning off the sensors intentionally to hide it from us.

When you say "I know how this works"... you sound like you're in the brigade. Is that really what you intend?
