"The great quantity of water in the Pacific Ocean rapidly and effectively dilutes radioactive material. Currently, testing of waters approximately 30km (18 miles) off the coast of Japan has shown that the radiation levels have dissipated rapidly, reaching drinking water standards by the 30 km test location. This means that seafood harvested in areas distant from the damaged reactor are unlikely to be affected. "
30km = 20 miles. How far away is Japan from Hawaii? About 3000 miles.
