There is no safe level of radiation . every exposure no matter how small - raises the organisms chance of cancer
now stocks of salmon and herring are testing positive - while the oceans may disperse radiation - fish re concentrate it last I checked we all live in that ocean environment ....
meanwhile there is more and more concern that the core may have melted into the water table - and again is becoming critical - ie nuclear fission has started again.....
good read on the safety of lack there of radiation

"Nuclear apologists pretend that people are exposed to more radiation from bananas than from Fukushima.
But unlike low-levels of radioactive potassium found in bananas – which our bodies have adapted to over many years – cesium-137 and iodine 131 are brand new, extremely dangerous substances.
The EPA explains:
The human body is born with potassium-40 [the type of radiation found in bananas] in its tissues and it is the most common radionuclide in human tissues and in food. We evolved in the presence of potassium-40 and our bodies have well-developed repair mechanisms to respond to its effects. The concentration of potassium-40 in the human body is constant and not affected by concentrations in the environment."
