Fukushima nuclear fallout spread through oceans, researchers say

MOST of the radioactive fallout from the disaster at the Fukushima nuclear plant dropped into the ocean and began circling the planet, Japanese researchers say.

Up to 80 per cent of the caesium released by the Fukushima Daiichi power plant after the March 11 disaster landed in the Pacific and made its way into other oceans around the world, scientists at the Meteorological Research Institute said.

“The rest has fallen on land” in and around Fukushima, said Hiroshi Takahashi, a researcher at the institute in Ibaraki, northeast of Tokyo.

“The results mean the ocean was more contaminated than land, although recent data have shown that ocean pollution resulting from the accident was well below levels affecting humans,” Takahashi said.

Researchers said the radioactive materials, including caesium-137, an isotope with a half-life of more than 30 years, were widely dispersed when they entered the oceans and each particle would measure less than one micrometre – one seventh the size of a human red blood cell.

i quit eating all pacific catch months ago
I quit eating Gulf seafood a year ago. Now, I don’t eat any seafood.
This is a global tragedy and I don’t understand why all the nations of the earth are not sending their top scientists to Japan to end the output of radiation asap.
This is a global tragedy…..

I think you may have answered yer own question.
WTF!!??

“”(The results mean the ocean was more contaminated than land), although recent data have shown that ocean pollution resulting from the accident was( well below levels affecting humans)””

BUT!.Researchers said the radioactive materials, including caesium-137, an isotope with a half-life of more than 30 years, were widely dispersed when they entered the oceans and each particle would measure less than one micrometre – one seventh the size of a human red blood cell.

How can any of this be labeled as safe, “well below levels affecting humans”?? it affecting and Infecting the whole planet, killing off sea life for at least the next 30+ years and spreading to anything that comes in contact with , which includes wind and rain fall. this has no affect on us.. WTF this thing hasn’t stop spewing out and no one seems to be trying to stop it. A Massive population reduction,. in less than 30 yrs. + cancer all ready is off the charts in Amerika. THE OIL SPILL STILL POLLUTING THE BEACHES. IT”S ALL FORGOTTEN BY US..
