Is U.S. remaining vigilant to Fukushima Radiationrisks, Like Russia Is?

Snip:
As our readers may be aware, on multiple occasions over the last two years Russia has made data public on contaminated imports from Japan which have been sent back due to radiation concerns. In early August, Rospotrebnadzor, Russia’s federal customer rights protection agency told Russian media outlets that some 112 contaminated batch lots of goods from Japan had been barred from entering the country after failing radiation tests.

Snip:
All this has brought me to wonder whether or not we are being vigilant or whether we are asleep at the wheel. I spoke to Arnie Gundersen with Fairewinds Energy Education to get his take. He said, “I’m not surprised, I don’t think we are even monitoring the fish from the Pacific, let alone the used car imports. I wish we were doing more, but I would be happy to hear that we were even testing fish.”

Are our Pacific fisheries ruined?

I thought testing was being done at least on some stuff.
