Uh, Lois, we may have to move. |
radiation.
This
map is from a detailed simulation of the spread of Pacific Ocean
It shows the anticipated levels as of August 2013. It may look
scary, but the red color indicates that the levels of Cs137 (cesium/caesium) from
Fukushima are 10,000 times less than when released in March 2011. The light blue indicates levels that are less than one-millionth.
Let’s be clear: The release of radioactive contamination from
the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant to the environment -- air, land, and sea --
is a massive disaster. There is no other way to describe it.

Radiation
in the air has spread far and wide. It was even detectable, just barely,
on other continents. Radiation in the ocean is spreading more
slowly but inexorably [with the daily dumping of contaminated water into the Pacific].
Fish caught off Japan
have been too contaminated to be sold for human consumption. And wide expanses of farmland in Japan have been contaminated as well. But
what effects can be expected overseas? What effects can be expected in Hawaii, Alaska, Seattle, California... Boston? More
