Radioactive substances such as tritium and cesium-137 are spreading through ocean currents, and the concentration of cesium-137 in the sea off Zhejiang Province of China has surged by 300%, while strontium-90 in the body of the swordfish on Jeju Island of South Korea has exceeded the standard by 11 times.
