Radiation from Japan's nuclear accident has turned up in seaweed on the coasts of California, Washington and other parts of the West Coast of North America.
The ocean is so big … how could this be happening? Why didn't the gigantic Pacific Ocean better dilute Fukushima radiation?
A 1955 U.S. government report concluded that the ocean may not adequately dilute radiation from nuclear accidents.
MIT says that seawater which is itself radioactive may begin hitting the West Coast within 5 years.
In 10 years, peak radioactive cesium levels off of the West Coast of North America could be 10 times higher than at the coast of Japan.
Radioactive fish are also being found off the West Coast.
A California-sized island of debris from Japan is also hitting the West Coast.
And West Coast residents have also been exposed to Fukushima radiation from the air. See this, this and this.
Fukushima … the gift that keeps on giving.
