The shrimp may have been prepared, packed or held under unsanitary conditions and be contaminated with cesium-137, a radioactive substance. Cesium-137 is created by nuclear fission for use in medical devices and gauges, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA reports that cesium-137 is also a byproduct of nuclear weapons testing … Continue reading Second US seafood recall due to radioactive contamination comparable to that found in shellfish from Scottish beaches, not recalled

Throughout there is no mention at all of the key fact that … Continue reading Hiding the UK Government responsibility for the three Stonehaven derailment deaths behind ‘The Crown’
