And now:[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Fishermen Fighting Over Radioactive Catch The Toronto Star http://www.thestar.com/ The Native and non-native fishers of Nova Scotia have been battling it out since the Supreme Court upheld Indian treaty rights to fish at all seasons. The non-natives fear that the natives will deplete the lobster stocks before the season opens ... Down there, deep in the icy sea, the lobsters are scuttling over a radioactive seabed, more than 1,900 square kilometres of which has been salted with six tonnes of bullets coated with depleted uranium, deposited there over the past seven years by the Canadian navy. The navy stopped testing the DU bullets last year, but never bothered to tell the fisherfolk about what they had done to the fishing grounds. The lobsters may succumb to DU before they vanish from overfishing ... The stuff is nuclear waste, used as an armour-piercing coating for bullets and shells. Its radioactivity begins to diminish after 4,500 million years. According to the Canadian navy's DU expert, interviewed on CBC TV news last week, the radioactive slugs on the sea floor 'will very slowly corrode and go back into the soil.
