Meteorological Research Institute, “Cs-134/137 going deeper under ocean due to the subduction of winter” It suggests the possibility that radiation measurement of ocean surface water doesn’t represent the actual sea contamination. The actual sea contamination which may affect fish contamination is likely to be worse than the measurement data.

Nuclear power is safe and pigs can fly.
“The other nuclear nations would do well to pay attention. How vulnerable are their reactors? Don’t waste billions in a doomed attempt to upgrade inherently unsafe reactors when that money could finance an energy revolution in renewables and energy efficiency.”

Michael..what a great way to start a New Year! It is just way beyond terrific to have all of these important articles, with their links, all listed on one page. First of all, it is really impressive to see that there are so many recent articles that MUST be read, and second…it is wonderful not to have to go hunting for them. I just wish I had the time back that I have spent in the past, trying to locate these articles, in order to forward them to friends, in an attempt to inform and educate them as to the nuclear crisis that is going on, thanks to Fukushima. I just wish that the US Government would go and do likewise!
While I know that there are certainly articles on this potential global disaster to be found in some small newspapers, I have not, so far, found anyone, anywhere, who has been tackling the whole Fukushima disaster, head on, as you have been doing. And, in addition, you have also written many articles, plus, now, a five part series, on our local nuclear and toxic chemical contamination on the Santa Susana Field Laboratory.
I cannot believe how incredibly lucky that we all are to have you here in our midst, doing your knowledgeable environmental reporting, without which we would basically all be in the dark, when it comes to understanding and interpreting everything that has been happening in California, the USA, and the World. My hope is that in 2013, you, and also Denise, will continue to have the concern, energy and courage to keep investigating and writing about all of these issues, which affect the health and welfare of all of us.
Meanwhile, 2012 grateful THANKS!
