minke whales |
Back to Whale fish, the researchers conducted an examination of six of the 17 whales in the region. Two of the six whales were examined are known affected radioactive cesium to 31 and 24.3 becquerel per kilogram.
Although radioactive levels detected are far below the threshold that is 500 becquerel per kilogram, but the researchers stated that the contamination was ascertained from the current crisis is still continuing in nuclear power plants Fukushima Daiichi.
According to the website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caesium
Quate “Caesium or cesium] (SEE-zee-É™m) is the chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. It is a soft, silvery-gold alkali metal with a melting point of 28 °C (82 °F), which makes it one of only five elemental metals that are liquid at (or near) room temperature.Caesium is an alkali metal and has physical and chemical properties similar to those of rubidium and potassium. The metal is extremely reactive and pyrophoric, reacting with water even at −116 °C (−177 °F). It is the least electronegative element that has stable isotopes, of which it has only one, caesium-133. Caesium is mined mostly from pollucite, while the radioisotopes, especially caesium-137, are extracted from waste produced by nuclear reactors.
Quoted from News24, June 16, 2011, since the plant was hit by a magnitude 9 and be continued waves of the tsunami on 11 March, radioactive substances had leaked into the surrounding region. And the discovery of radiation on whales, indicating that the leak has become widespread.
Since 1987, Japan had indeed stopped whaling for commercial needs in accordance with international regulations in force in 1986.
However, Japan Country exploit gaps in the regulation to continue to catch whales on the grounds of scientific research. Some circles alleged that they actually make arrests for financial gain. Learn what a business? Stop Killing Minke Whales
