There is a story flying around the web and on main stream media sources that comments on Irish seaweed from the northern Ireland’s being exported to Japan for Miso soup etc.

Whilst i was unable to get seaweed from the north of Ireland to test, I decided to show you a comparison using seaweed from the cleaner western coastline soaked with sea salt. The northern islands seaweed might be contaminated with Americium 241 from Sellafield in the UK as recent reports have shown.
The western part of Ireland should only have radioactive potassium (sea salt) which is a natural radioactive substance which our bodies have learned to assimilate and regulate.
here is the link to the article explaining the export. with the added Geiger reading from Japan;

Here is the link to the report of contamination from Sellafield in the Irish sea that is going to get worse over coming decades;

“…At Garlieston there was an increase in concentrations in mud from 1985 -1997, and at Carlingford in Northern Ireland the concentration of Am-241 in mud appears to be increasing still. This effect of the spread of activity away from Sellafield may continue, at least into the near future…..”

Japanese reading above and Irish reading below (you will need to move the decimal place to the right on the Irish reading to work out comparison though this is explained on the video)
