New Scientist: Tuna carry Fukushima radiation to California.
“The levels might not be high enough to harm you if you tucked into a tuna sandwich, but some tuna are still carrying radioactive caesium from the leak at the Fukushima Daiichi plant last March. Researchers hope that similarly low levels of radiation in turtles, sea birds and sharks will allow the migration patterns of little-studied species to be tracked.” Trace amounts lead to enlightenment. Just make sure your tuna doesn’t glow in the dark with ‘enlightenment’ (joking, just joking).

Yikes. I either missed, or had forgotten that episode.

Your glow-in-the-dark comment reminded me of the Goiânia accident in 1987. In that case, caesium chloride was the “magic blue glitter”.
