7. Local rice may be an issue. I don't know.
But the seafood?

You seem to constantly ignore issues of scale. I wouldn't want to eat seafood from the area of the BP spill, but even though I would arrest a guy who dumped a quart of oil into the sea... I wouldn't be concerned about eating fish near that spill.

Seawater is already radioactive. Adding a tenth of a percent (just a guess, but likely very high) to that radioactivity isn't going to add a public health danger... certainly not one that compares to the far greater public health hazards they're dealing with right now.
