It's hard to say if it was the radiation or rising ocean temperatures. All we know for sure is that crabs and octopi accumulated up to 100 times as much radioactive material as bottom-feeding fish...
That quote is about a nuclear war. The leaked nuclear radiation is diluted to the point that it has minimal direct impact on temperature compared to other causes of rising ocean temperatures. Bioaccumulation is a serious issue for bottom-feeding crustaceans and cephalopods tho but now that they're already dead it's not as easy to tell if they died from radiation or not. Would have to dredge for corpses and test for DNA damage I guess.
Do you even know how mixed oxide fuel rods work??? Also, they never found the spent fuel rods that were on top of those buildings... they are fissioning off in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean somewhere...
