"Radiant Seaweed" - US West Coast Seaweed Showing Radioactive Cesium From Fukushima.


"Radiant Seaweed" - US West Coast Seaweed Showing Radioactive Cesium From Fukushima.(Simply Info)
New testing done by Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering found Fukushima cesium in US Pacific sea weed. The samples were standardized against a known amount of cesium 137 and cobalt 60. The finding of cesium 134 would indicate this is at least partially from the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Washington State Pacific coast eel weed sample contained 0.22 pCi/g of Cs134 and 0.24 pCi/g of Cs137.  It also contained 0.1 pCi/g of Co60
These values converted to the more common bq/kg are:
Cesium 134: 8.14 Bq/Kg
Cesium 137: 8.88 Bq/Kg
Cobalt 60: 3.7 Bq/Kg
They also tested nori sheets from a market in Chiba prefecture Japan. 
One of two Japanese nori samples from a Chiba Prefecture market contained 1.1 pCi/g of Cs134 and 1.7 pCi/g of Cs137.  (That’s 41 and 63 Bq/kg, respectively.)  The other was nondetect for these isotopes.” 
Cesium 134: 41 bq/kg
Cesium 137: 63 bq/kg
Cobalt 60: none detected

Video - Fukushima Doom Confirmed? France Hit By Iodine-131 Cloud, While New Radiation Plume Hit West Coast Of America.




Video - Fukushima Doom Confirmed? France Hit By Iodine-131 Cloud, While New Radiation Plume Hit West Coast Of America.HT: InfiniteUnknown.

An earthquake that rocked Japan just south of the Fukushima area shortly after midnight on September 20 (Japan time) sent a new plume of radiation across the Pacific Ocean. Apparently radiation measurements in this area have temporarily spiked.
This new plume would arrive on the west coast around Tuesday, Sept. 24. Previous earthquakes have also generated plumes. I remember that the one that arrived after the Jan. 1, 2012 quake was really nasty.
In a previous discussion Iodine-131 from latest criticality it was noted that the iodine spike in Chiba prefecture sludge was deposited in the period August 7 through August 20. According to CRIIRAD, Montélimar, France had spikes in alpha and beta atmospheric radiation on September 4-7. Rhône river water in Avignon showed a spike in iodine-131 on Sept. 7. The iodine cloud must have widened and dispersed quite a bit in its journey across the northern hemisphere… and 75% or more of it would have decayed by the time it reached France. So it must have been quite a substantial radioactive cloud.
Fukushima not only affects Japan, but the Pacific ocean, North America, and Europe too. Australia has had average radiation levels increase substantially, also.
