The Journal Environmental Science and Technology reports in a new study that the Fukushima radiation plume contacted North America at California “with greatest exposure in central and southern California”, and that Southern California's seaweed tested over 500% higher for radioactive iodine-131 than anywhere else in the U.S. and Canada: Projected paths of the radioactive atmospheric plume emanating from the Fukushima reactors, best described as airborne particles or aerosols for 131I, 137Cs, and 35S, and subsequent atmospheric monitoring showed it coming in contact with the North American continent at California, with greatest exposure in central and southern California. Government monitoring sites in Anaheim (southern California) recorded peak airborne concentrations of 131I at 1.9 pCi m−3 Anaheim is where Disneyland is located. EneNews summarizes the data: Corona Del Mar (Highest in Southern California) Santa Cruz (Highest in Central California) Simon Fraser University in Canada also tested North American seaweed after Fukushima: In addition, radioactive debris is starting to wash up on the Pacific Coast. And because the Japanese are burning radioactive materials instead of disposing of them, radioactive rain-outs will continue for some time … even on the Pacific Coast. Of course, the government is doing everything it can to help citizens cover up what’s occurring. We pointed out in January: Instead of doing much to try to protect their citizens from Fukushima, Japan, the U.S. and the EU all just raised the radiation levels they deem “safe”. Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen says that high-level friends in the State Department told him that Hillary Clinton signed a pact with her counterpart in Japan agreeing that the U.S. will continue buying seafood from Japan, despite that food not being tested for radioactive materials [see this]. And the Department of Energy is trying to replace the scientifically accepted model of the dangers of low dose radiation based on voodoo science. Specifically, DOE’s Lawrence Berkeley Labs used a mutant line of human cells in a petri dish which was able to repair damage from low doses of radiation, and extrapolated to the unsupported conclusion that everyone is immune to low doses of radiation…. American and Canadian authorities have virtually stopped monitoring airborne radiation, and are not testing fish for radiation. (Indeed, the EPA reacted to Fukushima by raising “acceptable” radiation levels.) So – as in Japan – radiation is usually discovered by citizens and the handful of research scientists with funding to check, and not the government. See this, this, this, this, this and this. The Japanese government’s entire strategy from day one has been to cover up the severity of the Fukushima accident. This has likely led to unnecessary, additional deaths. Indeed, the core problem is that all of the world’s nuclear agencies are wholly captured by the nuclear industry … as are virtually all of the supposedly independent health agencies. So the failure of the American, Canadian and other governments to test for and share results is making it difficult to hold an open scientific debate about what is happening. And it’s not just radiation from Japan. An effort by the Southern California Edison power company to secretly ramp up production to avoid public disclosure may have led to a leak at the San Onofre nuclear power plant.

And yet the MSM and Odinga admin are strangely silent on all of this? Makes you wonder why?

Oilbomber bowed the lowest to the Emperor of Japan. Maybe he got a fat campaign contribution from TEPCO (Tokyo Power)? Between the BP oil leak, Fuki radiation leaks, and Goldman Sachs bailouts, he's got more campaign contributions than he knows what to do with.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Because the reality is, this much ado about nothing. I was going to go through the calculations to turn this into something meaningful, but found someone else had already done so at UC Berkley. The situation is concisely summarized by the following quote: It is well established that cow milk tends to reflect a concentration about 1,000 times the levels of radioiodines in the air over a pasture. Read this carefully,...,this says the concentration of the radionuclides in the air, not water. I am not sure of this number as there is no source, but the concentration of the levels in air for I-131 is at least 100,000 times less than in the water we are measuring. The daily rate of exposure is not the issue - it is the cumulative exposure that could lead to dire problems down the road. The 1 mrem estimate we come up with (again very conservative) is indeed cumulative as it includes biological half life, organ-based dose factors, and the half-life of I-131. I haven't been involved in nuclear engineering for ~20 years, but the curie- counts seemed very low to me, so that's why I did a little digging... It turns out, the actual contamination levels are very low... In other words, there's no need to buy iodine tablets.
To: mcToejam, rat-boy, drippy, Alzheimer Fred, whitesands, t-bird, Thanks for the research and expertise. I guess my point was the hysterical leftos in the media usually make much ado about nothing, but they have been silent. I think it is because they take orders from the WH on what to focus on and what to let slide. For example, do you ever notice when we have a GOP president, the homeless seem to fill our TV screens, but when the Dems are in power, the homeless seem to disappear?

Of course. "Four legs good, two legs bad."
To: mcToejam, rat-boy, drippy, Alzheimer Fred, whitesands, t-bird, I remember when Reagan was walking to the helicopter he was hounded by the media ... asking him what he was doing --- to release the hostages from Lebanon ! He said ... he was working on it --- not to worry ! I wondered what he was doing about it ! Then all hell broke loose with ... Oliver North - guns to the contras - iran --- for hostages !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
"Four legs good, two legs bad." Animal Farm, excellent!

Exactly. How much radiation do we get flying across the country? Yet we do this all of the time.

...Indeed, we have conservatively estimated the cumulative thyroid dose at ~1mrem (actually 0.0088 mSv). This assumes 1L per day consumption of the highest readings we have registered for two months. The half life of I-131 is 8 days and after around 3 or 4 more weeks it will have decayed away. For context, this amount is 1/400th of the natural dose we get every year. This is a fifth of the dose we get for a trans-continental plane flight. There are other contextual comparisons, but in short, this amount of dose is insignificantly low.
