This decision is a direct result of the Fukushima disaster and the German government’s decision to phase out nuclear power in Germany by 2022.

No radiation detected in West Coast fish
This appears to be good news! However, why are we not told what kind of fish was tested, where, and what the actual readings were? Pacific salmon need to be tested now and into the future as their migration patterns can take them as far as to the northern tip of Japan over their multi-year life span. Was Pacific salmon tested by the CFIA?

See “Testing and Monitoring” for comprehensive answers by CFIA citizen questions about the recent fish tests.
