And how many people do you think have cancers, or other illnesses caused by radiation due to leaks from power stations, many years after the leaks?

not many according to this ,the Irish sea is far from being the most radioactive in the world
and you can verify that info by clicking the numbers which will direct you to the reports that info is taken from

Doses of man-made radioactivity received by the heaviest consumers of seafood in Ireland in 2005 was 1.10µSv.[27] This compares with a corresponding dosage of radioactivity naturally occurring in the seafood consumed by this group of 148µSv and a total average dosage in Ireland from all sources of 3620µSv.[28] In terms of risk to this group, heavy consumption of seafood generates a 1 in 18 million chance of causing cancer. The general risk of contracting cancer in Ireland is 1 in 522. In the UK, the heaviest seafood consumers in Cumbria received a radioactive dosage attributable to Sellafield discharges of 0.22mSv (220µSv) in 2005.[29] This compares to average annual dose of naturally sourced radiation received in the UK of 2.23mSv (2230µSv).[30]
