I checked with the labs, and it looks like the issue is outside the scope of their current research. An academic research project often has a fairly narrow focus because you are diving deep into an issue and hoping to find a breakthrough. But I’m interested in knowing the answer to your question as well, so I will circle back if I find something. There will always be an impact when you tinker with the environment, so the question is really about the extent of it.

They traced them back to nuclear war heads tested post WWII and cold war area. Now they have found a higher dosage from the Japanese reactor. Enjoy your canned tuna. No microwave needed.
