In March 2011, in association with the Great Tohoku earthquake and resultant tsunami, there was an accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on the east coast of Japan. This accident released the radionuclides cesium 134Cs and 137Cs into the ocean next to the plant, exposing marine ...

The waves, some of which measured ... the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant 150 miles north of Tokyo, disabling the plant’s emergency systems and causing emergency crews to use seawater to cool the damaged reactors. Because of the plant’s location along the coast, much of the water washed into the Pacific, resulting in the largest accidental release of radiation to the ocean ...

After 10 years of the Fukushima Nuclear Accident, Japan decided to release the nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean on 13 April 2021. It is appar…

September 15, 2023 - A controversial plan to release more than one million tons of treated radioactive water into the sea is now underway in Japan, giving scientists here in the Bay Area pause as well as those who seek escape on the open water.

March 9, 2016 - Nevertheless, we often struggle ... radiation that surrounds us every day. So what’s the middle ground? First, it is incorrect to say that Fukushima is under control when levels of radioactivity in the ocean indicate ongoing leaks, caused by groundwater flowing through the site and, we think, enhanced after storms. At the same time, it is also wrong to attribute to Fukushima events like recent die-offs of seal, whale, and starfish along the West Coast rather than ...

May 8, 2023 - There are four potential ways radiation from Fukushima can get to the United States (and beyond) – through air, water, marine debris and sea life. Some of the air emissions were caught by the jet stream and carried eastward across the Pacific Ocean to the United States. Monitoring stations along the West Coast...

2 weeks ago - This emission of radioactivity into the sea represents the most important individual emission of artificial radioactivity into the sea ever observed. However, the Fukushima coast has some of the world's strongest currents and these transported the contaminated waters far into the Pacific Ocean, ...

December 9, 2015 - Nearly five years on, the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan continues to leak small amounts of radiation into the Pacific Ocean, and more of that material is now showing up on the west coast of the US, according to new data.

August 24, 2023 - The water comes from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Although most scientists agree it does not pose an immediate environmental threat, some are worried about the long-term consequences.

Radioactive contamination of the Pacific Ocean following the Fukushima nuclear accident has raised public concern about seafood safety, particularly i…

December 30, 2018 - It shows that radiation levels at radiation monitoring stations all over the country are elevated. As you will notice, this is particularly true along the west coast of the United States. Every single day, 300 tons of radioactive water from Fukushima enters the Pacific Ocean.

Since the devastating 2011 Japanese ... the Fukushima nuclear power plant, there have been concerns about radiation impacts to Alaska. The Division of Environmental Health (DEH) has been coordinating with the Department of Health & Social Services (DHSS) Division of Public Health as well as other state and Federal agencies, the Pacific states, and ...

December 9, 2016 - Cesium-134 from the Japanese nuclear disaster was detected at two Oregon beaches

July 5, 2016 - The wounds left by the 2011 earthquake ... off the coast of Japan are taking a long time to heal, but there's some positive news from scientists measuring radiation levels in the Pacific Ocean. After more than five years, those levels are almost back down to normal, even as radioactive material continues to leak out of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear ...
