http://deepseanews.com/2013/11/true-facts-about-ocean-radiation-and-the-fukushima-disaster/Article discusses what is known to be happening, sensationalist articles/blogs with links, radiation terms, and contains sources and comments at the end. Enjoy!
Im here to tell you that these posts are just plain garbage. While there are terrible things that happened around the Fukushima Power Plant in Japan; Alaska, Hawaii and the West Coast arent in any danger. These posts were meant to scare people (and possibly written by terrified authors). They did just that, but there is a severe lack of facts in these posts. Which is why I am here to give you the facts, and nothing but the facts.

Its not even dangerous to swim off the coast of Fukushima. Buessler et al. figured out how much radiation damage you would get if you doggie paddled about Fukushima (Yes, science has given us radioactive models of human swimmers). It was less than 0.03% of the daily radiation an average Japanese resident receives. Tiny! Hell, the radiation was so small even immediately after the accident scientists did not wear any special equipment to handle the seawater samples (but they did wear detectors just in case). If you want danger, youre better off licking the dial on an old-school glow in the dark watch.

(10,440 posts)legit in a way. So Sorry. I would love to have other sites tell the same story though. Not even japan Times is telling this and they are the mouthpiece for TEPCO and the nuke industry in japan.
