Where are the giant muto chicken babies crawling through the streets of Tokyo croaking, "Kill me ... kill me."?
Where are the corpses stacked like cordwood?
Why is pacific seafood still cheap and available in my local grocery? I thought the pacific was supposed to be dead.

There are still approximately 450 nuclear reactors left in the world. Are you sure it is Pacific seafood and not 'seafood' from a coastal farm that you're eating?

Because there is still enough stupid people remaining to eat it. Your chances of developing cancer are directly proportional to your life time radiation exposure. A mouthful of Fukushima irradiated tuna is not likely to increase your odds. The northern Pacific has now been so polluted with radioactive waste the only thing it will be growing in the future will be three eyed fish, and mold. Those radioactive waste accumulates in the food chain. The photo plankton of the northern Pacific has already fallen to almost nothing. You may already be dying from it; a liver cancer doesn't come with a label on it, "developed from a hot particle complements Fukushima "!

Boston Dynamics’ Robot Dog is Now Sniffing Out Radiation Levels in Chernobyl
Boston Dynamics' iconic robot dog, Spot, has gained a new job: sniffing out toxic radiation levels at abandoned nuclear power plants near Chernobyl. He's currently being employed by UK researchers at the University of Bristol to measure radiation and help map out heat zones in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and surrounds.
Chernobyl's Exclusion Zone has long been a place of scientific fascination since the nuclear disaster of 1986 that rendered the city of Pripyat an irradiated ghost town.
In the decades since the accident, teams of scientists have visited the site to understand more about how nuclear radiation impacts genetics and the natural environment. It's also become a popular site for disaster tourists curious about the morbid nature of the incident.
Spot's job kicked off in late October, when it was sent into Pripyat to analyse the surrounds alongside a crew of other manned drones. The robot is designed to traverse rugged terrains and can use a 360 degree vision to map environments. Unlike humans, it also has a natural resistance to radiation, making it one of the few devices able to complete a task like this safely.
In addition to mapping the environments around Pripyat, Spot the robot dog will also be used to test how robotics react in extreme environments.

I could see the Ukrainians hiring the US robot but how did the UK get involved? And to what end?
