Radiation from Fukushima Daiichi disaster not an issue for Florida tuna fans

At least for now, Tampa Bay diners can eat their tuna carpaccio and spicy tuna rolls without undue concerns despite reports that Japanese tuna has tested positive for radioactivity.

More than two years after the tsunami that caused the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in Japan, heavy rains have brought on soaring radiation levels in groundwater under the nuclear plant, according to Tokyo Electric Power Co. And at the beginning of October, California scientists testing 50 migratory bluefin tuna caught off the coast found 33 were contaminated with radioactive Cesium 134, attributing the contamination to the Fukushima accident.

News reports in West Coast publications have sounded the alarm to worried diners, but some of the nation's top experts of food safety say that there is no cause for panic.
