ERNIE might have said NO to radioactive shrimp

[Artur Dubrawski]

Team,

My sources refuse to confirm or deny that our Enhanced Radiological
Nuclear Inspection and Evaluation system (ERNIE, joint work with
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) was involved in detecting
shipments of frozen shrimp irradiated with Cesium-137 being imported
to the US from Indonesia.

But I think there is a good chance it might.

Even though we have pushed hard against false negatives, there may
still be a small risk that some shipments of these shrimp might have
gotten through the CBP Radiation Portal Monitors before one of them
was flagged.

But the chances of any radioactive shrimp (or other sea, land or air
radioactive monster) passing through unnoticed are drastically reduced
wherever and whenever ERNIE is on guard.

See this advisory from the FDA  for your situational awareness (and
maybe pause eating shrimp for a brief while):
