My sentiments exactly Rob, I worried rght from the get go too. So do we
stop eating fish? Which ones are ?top of the food chain¹ - obviously they
are the worst for you in these terms. Can ordinary people get radiation
detectors, and indeed, would they detect these particles. I have a hundred
questions and a lot to worry about. And I don¹t even have children, it must
be a nightmare for parents.
Cheers, Odille
