HIGHEST LEVEL OF RADIATION FROM FUKUSHIMA PERCOLATING ALONG U.S. WEST COAST

""Fears that ocean currents might carry Fukushima radiation across the Pacific Ocean to contaminate the coast of North America continue to be founded, even four and a half years since the onset of the disaster. New research out of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution shows not only that Fukushima radiation is still percolating along the U.S. West Coast, but that current levels are at the highest ever recorded.
In fact, readings from waters about 1,600 miles west of San Francisco represent the highest of all, where radioactive cesium isotopes were a significant 50 percent higher than any other samples collected along the West Coast."
Even years after the onset of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, radiation is still making its way across the Pacific.
