发帖数: 11530 | 1 Fukushima Radiation Found in Pacific Off California’s Coast

Francisco.
Oceanographers have detected isotopes linked to Japan’s wrecked Fukushima
nuclear plant off California’s coast, though at levels far below those that
could pose a measurable health risk.
Volunteer ocean monitors collected the samples that tested positive for
trace amounts of the isotope cesium-134 about 100 miles (160 kilometers)
west of Eureka, California, the Massachusetts-based Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution said yesterday on its website.
Tokyo Electric Power Co.’s Fukushima Dai-Ichi plant, which released “
unprecedented levels” of radioactivity during the March 2011 accident, was
the only conceivable source of the detected isotopes, Woods Hole
oceanographer Ken Buesseler said in the release.
Explosions during the accident, during which three reactors suffered
meltdowns, sent a burst of radioactivity into the atmosphere, while water
used to cool overheating fuel rods flowed into the ocean in the weeks after
the disaster. Lower levels of radiation have continued to trickle into the
ocean via contaminated groundwater.
The radioactivity detected off the California coast was at levels deemed by
international health agencies to be “far below where one might expect any
measurable risk to human health or marine life,” according to Woods Hole.
It’s also more than 1,000 times lower than acceptable limits in drinking
water set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the organization said.
Tepco, as the Fukushima plant’s operator is known, said in an e-mailed
statement today that the radiation’s spread had been expected and that the
company has significantly improved water management at the site since the
accident.

之前有报道加州海岸某些鱼类已经有福岛放射性。
这次看数据问题不大吧。 |

The effect of food chain could multiple this by a factor of 2, 3 or more
Go enjoy West coast seafood.

Thank God for Fukushima for reversing one of those trends. |
