Testes confirmam Césium 137 de Fukushima no Salmão do Canadá

WHOI é um projeto científico financiado coletivamente que munitora a pluma radioativa que vaza das usinas nucleares destruídas de  Fukushima, no Japão, contaminando através do Pacífico, a América do Norte, e com o tempo, todo o hemisfério norte.

Amostras da água do mar foram coletadas em vários pontos do litoral e testadas durante o ano de 2016. A radiação também está sendo monitorada no Canadá por pesquisadores da iniciativa Fukushima InFORM, da Universidade de Victoria. A pesquisa canadense é levada adiante pelo químico oceanografo chemical Jay Cullen. Ambas confirmam, a contaminação de Fukushima está na América do Norte.

Cesium 134 is called the “footprint of Fukushima” because of its fast rate of decay. With a half life of only 2.06 years, there are few other places the dangerous and carcinogenic isotope could have originated.

It is important to note that airborne radioactive fallout from the initial explosion and meltdowns at Fukushima in 2011 reached the US and Canada within days, and circled the globe falling out wherever the currents and precipitation carried it — mostly to places unknown to this day. Even still, radioactive iodine 131 was found in municipal water supplies in places like Pennsylvania and Massachusetts shortly after the initial Fukushima accident — a triple meltdown ranked by EnviroNews USA as the most destructive environmental catastrophe in human history.

The samples from the Oregon coast measured around 0.3 becquerels per cubic meter for cesium 134. Researchers in both the US and Canada said the recently detected radiation levels were extremely low and pose “no risk to humans or the environment.” Sadly, NBC, the New York Post, USA Today, and even The Inquisitr amongst others, took the bait and reported the same thing.

Medical science and epidemiological studies have demonstrated time and again that there is no safe amount of radiation for a living organism to be subjected to — period. With each subsequent exposure, no matter how small, the subject experiences an increase in cancer risk. In the wake of Fukushima, several governments, and certainly the Japanese government, have raised the “safe” annual limit for radiation exposure for humans — this critics say, to lower legal liability and to placate concerns from the public, in an increasingly radioactive world. Now, many concerned citizens look on in concern, waiting for more testing and data on ocean waters and the seafood they so greatly enjoy.
