Cesium-134, the fingerprint of seaborne radiation from the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in Japan, has been detected on the West Coast of the United States for the first time, as well as in Canadian salmon. Seaborne radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster has been detected in seawater samples taken from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach […]
Bluefin Tuna Still Contaminated With Fukushima Radiation
A Stanford University study measures, and finds, radioactive cesium levels in bluefin tuna for the second year in a row. They showed that a bluefin tuna is capable of picking up radioactive material and transporting it across the ocean. In 2011, radiocesium from Fukushima was detected in Pacific bluefin tuna, Thunnus orientalis, that had recently […]
