Were you not a Mod for a long time? I guess i'll find out in my answer...
Nobody is pro radiation or will say radiation is good for you. I think Madame Curie put that issue to rest.
Being pro nuke (Which im not totally, im kinda polarized on the issue) doesn't mean you want to hurt the world or something. Nuclear technology has gotten so much safer over the years. Fukushima was a disaster, I readily admit.
I also live in Alaska and the salmon runs have been up or down for decades and who knows why.
Anyway also English is not my first language so sorry if anything is not what I meant to type.

That's right, Earl. Ignorance is your friend. When all you have to sell is fear, keep science away.

I asked a question of the author of the OP if they had any knowledge of rad dangers in the ocean.

Nothing in all that 'data' to indicate presence of radionuclides from Fukushima.

You're kinda coming in the middle of this. I was illustrating that background data are available.
