What could have caused this contamination? Were the shrimp harvested from an area exposed to radioactive fallout from Cold War atomic bomb testing? Possibly harvested by mistake or knowingly, by unscrupulous villain type characters?
If the shrimp were processed overseas, could they have been exposed to contaminated shrimp meal, polluted or contaminated water?
One of our local beekeepers would ship his empty hive boxes and frames at the end of the season to be irradiated, to kill germs and parasites. He explained it was also used by food processors for the same reasons. So, maybe faulty, improperly calibrated equipment or cross contamination mistakes could have occurred.
Then what about containers and other packaging that might have been “reused" after shipping or storing radioactive hazardous materials or waste?
So, I called up Lisa at the office and asked her what she thought, and Lisa said, she thought that, I thought too much”
But, did inform me, per these recent events, she read that there has been some discussion of re-authorization and expansion of the The Radioactive Compensation Act which provided support for individuals exposed to radioactive fallout.
Then assured me that when updating our Free Federal Register Update Service she would make sure The Department of Transportation, (DOT), The Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) or The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA) wasn't proposing any new radioactive transportation, environmental or worker protection requirements without letting everyone know.
I can't wait to see the New 2025/2026 Hazardous Materials, Substances & Wastes Compliance Guide, which is on its way from the printers, so don't wait, order now or get yours sent to you when you register for the 2025/2026 Hazardous Material, Substance and Waste Compliance Seminar.
