National Institute of Radiological Sciences (Japan), March 3, 2014: The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident led to the release of large amounts of radionuclides into the environment. […] The released radioactive materials posed radiation threat to human society. Thus, source identification of radioactive contamination and long-term environmental behavior of released radioactive materials are important issues of study after the FDNPP accident.
Japan Atomic Energy Agency & University of Tokyo, Apr. 10, 2014: By March 15, traces from the accident in Fukushima were detectable all across the northern hemisphere. By April 13, the associated radioactivity had spread to the southern hemisphere of the Asia-Pacific region and was clearly detectable at CTBT IMS stations located in Australia, Fiji, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea.
Danish Emergency Management Agency’s Carsten Israelson, Nordic Nuclear Safety Research’s 2013 Fukushima seminar (at 4:15 in): The accident in Fukushima… clearly showed that there are consequences that are widespread, and is not limited to borders… Nuclear accidents do happen! Nuclear accidents will likely have widespread consequences – for all of us. >> Watch presentation here
Fox 10 News — Phoenix, AZ, July 15, 2014: [Aubrey Godwin, director of Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency] says radioactive material can still be found in Arizona soil from nuclear weapons testing in the 50?s and from Fukushima’s nuclear disaster in 2011. Despite that Godwin says there is no health concern.
My comment vanished. The Pacific will be dead within the year. The bay is full of big sea animals who are starving to death, and trapped in the bay for oxygen. When that is dead, so will they be.
We get 80% of our oxygen from the ocean. The Gulf of Mexico feeds into the Pacific, and it is already dead.
The lack of concern or any plan or service to deal with any of this is beyond belief.
CA beaches are littered with radioactive trash from Japan, and dead sea animals. There are no services in place to clean it up……they are radioactive as hell.
I cannot believe how fast the US is collapsing. The dollar will collapse thanks to BRICS, and their current political policies of threats and sanctions……..the state of CA, OR, WA, Alaska……..all will be unlivable. On top of it, they are suffering droughts that are catastrophic by themselves.
What a mess. It is like we have five year olds in charge. They seem to think if they ignore it, it will go away.
