First the conviction, then the trial.  <sigh>

"Levels of Tc-99 contamination in Norwegian seaweed were found to be as high
as 465 Bq/Kg, some 15 times levels found at the beginning of the 1990s.  This
level is 3.75 times the Tc-99 contamination level found by the Norwegian
Radiation Protection Authority in sampling in January of 1998."

A fifteen-fold increase of Tc-99 in 8 years and a quadrupling in six months.
A curious enough finding which warrants further investigation.

"The Tc-99 contamination stems from 900% and 1100% increases granted by the UK
government for Sellafield's radioactive liquid and gaseous discharges. . . ."

An interesting coincidence which may or may not be the cause, but nevertheless
should not be summarily dismissed.
