Q: What's
the truth about Fukushima radiation landing on US shores?
A: The truth is that radiation has not, as far as we know, gotten to the west
coast of the US, but there are imminent plans to test the waters. There is still radiation in the
water from every atomic bomb that’s ever been tested – the stuff stays around a
long time – but that doesn’t mean there’s radiation poisoning everything. So it’s a myth that there is a health problem right now for US-dwellers, but this is always a moving target and may be revised as new information becomes available. What is NOT a myth is
that the Fukushima disaster was unparalleled in its disastrous effects. The good folks at Southern Fried Science have
done a nice corralling of info for us (also see the Deep Sea News pieces – very
good): http://www.southernfriedscience.com/?p=16363.
