So there is air, water and soil all contaiminated with unknown sources of contamination while the reactors continue TO DETERIORATE. 

It is time to 'terminate' their ability to continue to effect the environment and LIMIT, if possible, this unending spewing of radiative material.

...In another new finding, (click title to entry - thank you) Tokyo Electric Power Company, which runs the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power station, said late Monday that it had detected higher levels of plutonium in soil samples taken from within the compound a week ago, raising fears of yet another dangerous element that may be escaping the crippled reactors....

CURRENTLY, there is no medical reason to restrict shipping channels, but, if this continues that could change and Japan will find its energy needs will be direly effected.

...Record-high readings of contaminated sea water (click here) were found yesterday near the plant, which was damaged by a magnitude-9 earthquake and 23-foot tsunami on March 11, Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said today. The International Maritime Organization, a United Nations agency, said on March 21 there was no medical basis for restricting shipping and the U.S. Navy said March 28 any radiation on vessels can be scrubbed off with soap and water and isn’t harmful to people’s health....
