Latest Delicacy: Nuclear-Boosted Crayfish

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Officials at a Finnish nuclear power plant say they have tripled the growth of crayfish by incubating them in waters warmed by heat absorbed by its cooling system without affected the taste of the Nordic delicacy.

Environmental protection manager Reijo Sundell at power group Teollisuuden Voima told Reuters the crayfish grown in the 13 degree Celsius (55.4 degrees Fahrenheit) water were delicious, and he had no qualms about serving them to guests.

``They don't taste like a nuclear power plant, which after all has no taste or smell to it,'' Sundell said.

Growth of freshwater crayfish, a seasonal delicacy typically eaten in late summer in Finland and Sweden, was accelerated so that those hatched in spring last year reached full growth of 10 centimeters (four inches) in one year instead of three, he said.

Sundell said the experiment was 100 percent risk-free and had the blessing of safety authorities since the water from the cooling process was completely isolated from radiation.

He said the plant had already sold a batch of about 100,000 crayfish to fish farmers as livestock. Another 100,000 had hatched in May and would also be sold.
