☢️ Radiation monitoring Today's reading: 0.21 µSv/h
40 years ago yesterday — the Chernobyl disaster (26 Apr 1986). I remember it. Czechoslovakia's communist government covered it up. In the Czech lands the main fallout contamination was Cesium-137.

2/8 La radioactivité n’a pas de date de péremption. Le Césium-137 marque encore certains sols, forêts, champignons et gibiers. Le nucléaire, ce n’est pas juste une centrale sur une brochure. C’est une trace qui reste. 🍄🐗 #Césium137 #Ecologie

"December 19, 2025, Direct Source Seafood LLC, Bellevue, WA, is recalling approximately 83,800 bags of frozen raw shrimp, imported from Indonesia, sold under the Market 32 and Waterfront Bistro brands because they may have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby they may have become contaminated with cesium-137 (Cs-137).
Cs-137 is a man-made radioisotope of cesium. Traces of Cs-137 are widespread and can be present in the environment at background levels, and at higher levels in water or foods grown, raised, or produced in areas with environmental contamination. The primary health effect of concern following longer term, repeated low dose exposure (e.g., through consumption of contaminated food or water over time) is an elevated risk of cancer, resulting from damage to DNA within living cells of the body.
The recalled frozen raw shrimp products are as follows, as shown in the images further below:"

Interesting, the US has an active program to remove anything using Cesium-137
DOE: Oklahoma cleared: NNSA removes all cesium-137 irradiators in the state, achieving a milestone in reducing radiological risk
"..In a significant advancement for national security, the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has removed all cesium-137 irradiators from the state of Oklahoma. ...Used for medical applications such as blood treatment and cancer research, irradiators are a critical part of America’s infrastructure. However, many of these irradiators contain cesium-137, a radioactive material that poses a serious risk if it is stolen and used to produce a radiological dispersal device, also known as a “dirty bomb.”..."

Bloomberg article (way down at the bottom) talking about a "significant airborne release" of Cesium-137 somewhere in the world (related to the radioactive shoes and sneakers, no doubt)
"Elsewhere, however, the event was detected, if not immediately noted. Radionuclide monitoring stations more than a thousand kilometers away in Malaysia and in the remote Australian territory the Cocos Islands - part of a global network of sensors deployed by the Vienna-based Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organisation - picked up traces of radiation, Indonesian officials would later be informed. A unit of the US Department of Energy would say in a preliminary assessment seen by Bloomberg News that detections by two different stations at that distance suggests “a significant airborne release” of Cesium-137.'"

More details on exactly whose shoes were radioactive in this article (Nike, lol... no mention in the US press, for the most part).
Bloomberg: Radioactive shrimp and sneakers: The global trail leading to Indonesia
"...But in July, inspectors in Los Angeles - then other ports on either side of the US - discovered something strange: shipments of prawns, and Nike branded sneakers, emitting faint traces of man-made radiation. ...
Minuscule particles of the isotope found their way into more than 20 factories, including shrimp being packed into refrigerated containers by one of Indonesia’s largest seafood exporters and at a big factory producing shoes for brands including Nike and Adidas."

As I expected... Radioactive hot potato.
The Straits Times (10/29/25)
Ship with radioactive zinc dust stuck near Philippine port, official says
"MANILA – A ship with 23 containers of radioactive zinc dust is stuck off the coast in the Philippines, unable to unload because there is no site that has agreed to bury the material, according to a top official."

LOL *now* they're moving residents living in Cesium-137 contaminated homes in Indonesia... After they've been living in contaminated homes for half the year apparently.
“At this first stage, we are allocating 19 families with a total of 63 individuals. Why now? Because it’s time to clean up their houses from contamination,” said Bara Hasibuan, spokesman for a specially set up task force.
In the next stage, the task force aims to move another eight families with a total of 28 people by next week, he added.
