Rad Water Plume About To Hit Coast, Levels Rise For YEARS
Global Research Report
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution senior scientist Ken Buesseler, Jan. 19, 2014: [N]o US government agency currently tests radiation levels in the Pacific Ocean [...] “I don’t expect the radiation levels to be high but we can’t dismiss the concerns that the public has.” [...] [W]eeks after the March 2011 Fukushima Plant disaster occurred a large plume of radioactive air swept across the Pacific Ocean and over California [...] a second plume is headed towards California, this one is in the water and has taken almost three years to make it across the Pacific Ocean. “The effects of Fukushima will be increasing as the front edge of a large water plume coming from the nuclear plant will reach California soon and increase over the years. [...] [Department of Energy, NOAA, FDA, and EPA] all said that it’s not their responsibility to test the Pacific Ocean for radiation. This issue is falling between the cracks of government responsibility. It’s a health and safety issue here.”
Congressman Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), Jan. 19, 2014: “There isn’t data to suggest that people should be alarmed about the radiation levels of the waters along California’s coast. There is no evidence of environmental impact or affects on public health [...] the US government should be doing more testing in order to convince the public that the ocean and fish are safe.”
