Radiation Assault Against the Pacific


Cesium-137 is a beta emitter that was released in huge concentrations from the Fukushima plant.

We will never know the truth about how much was actually released.

Atmospheric and ocean emissions have been continuous since the meltdowns started in Mach of 2011.

Below please find links to a study of oceanic dispersion of Fukushima radiation.

I will have to read the article to know what the authors used for their initial estimations of releases.

Regardless, the dispersion map produced in the study and available here in this video was very disturbing for anyone who lives on or near the Pacific Coast:
