Doing the work that other organizations just aren’t, Greenpeace did a surprise fish-grab from five major supermarkets in five Kanto prefectures, plus Fukushima and Miyagi—and scanned them for radiation. What an idea! Cesium 134 and 137 were found in over half, though under the allowable limit of 500bq/kg. Ito Yokado came out worst, with 8 out of 12 samples contaminated. Salmon showed no contamination. The activist NGO has demanded all fish to be labeled with catch location and Becquerel level.
