West Coast fish to be tested for Fukushima radiation www.cbc.ca
by Panserbjorne9 8/19/2011 8:43:45 PM

From the fish article: "Morton also wants the CFIA to test farmed salmon, because she says trace amounts of radiation were detected in seaweed on the B.C. coast."

@lillymunster EXACTLY. i love the little hidden nuggets in these news stories. My eyebrows shoot up all the time, with an OH REALLY?? exclamation

@Panserbjorne9 so is it fuku radiation or old Hanford radiation? Air releases from Hanford made it to BC but not since the early 70's. Nothing I read suggested water contamination from Hanford off the BC coast. I think the water circulation runs north to south after it crosses the pacific? If there is fuku radiation already showing up in the seaweed on the BC coast we have a problem. The US made some vague mention about testing seafood maybe someday if they feel like it.

@lillymunster that's a good point. it might actually be a little too soon for fuku radiation there.
by Panserbjorne9 8/19/2011 9:27:14 PM

@Panserbjorne9 I am honestly not sure. There was a projection on the debris field coming across the Pacific and vague mentions on when it might start showing up in fish. If we can find the time it takes the currents to cycle across we could get an idea of potential contamination. I didn't realize how many foods I like
have seaweed in them until fuku.

@lillymunster foods AND beverages- even milk gets it added.

Not sure if you have seen Dial M for meltdown by Brian Rich. It is a Fairewinds endorsed production: australiancannonball.com

@Panserbjorne9 I don't think people realize that carageean (sp?) is in lots of food and is made from seaweed. We thought about stopping by the sushi place for lunch. After going down the list of things now off the menu due to unknowns we opted for something else. But I don't know of anything else is safer because the EPA and FDA won't test anything

@AustralianCannonball there were a couple of things that were factually wrong in the video but it is so well done.... I looked for a way to contact him and could not find one. In his defense he does say he did this as an attempt to wake people up and I think he researched it all alone. I think he did a great job but I am loathe to pass on his video knowing he has some significant errors in the data. :-(

hi bo, I wish he could have had a couple of days documenting things
by dean 8/20/2011 12:18:18 AM

our videos and photo's of the facilities are far and few between seems like @ lilly
by dean 8/20/2011 12:24:16 AM

@dean he says he took 100 pictures. I may see if there is a way to get a message to him.
by lillymunster 8/20/2011 12:27:59 AM

that would be nice to see, the ones shown in the link below are good, but more would be nice, especially if there are cracks in the ground or of internals to the buildings
by dean 8/20/2011 12:33:27 AM

it won't be long before the weeds grow up and cover the tepco cam...
by dean 8/20/2011 12:36:50 AM

The JNN cam is interesting, broken clouds and cranes

@dean Why am I thinking Little Shop of Horros?
by RadioGuy 8/20/2011 12:43:11 AM

exactly Radioguy and soon there will be a cover over our view of the building..
by dean 8/20/2011 12:46:52 AM

But their plans will all fail as the covers are torn down when Nuclear Kudzu Engulfs Japan
by RadioGuy 8/20/2011 12:48:47 AM

@Edano any data from yesterday come through yet?
by lillymunster 8/20/2011 1:33:36 AM

expecting it within 30 minutes :) wanna bet ? 450 Sv/h ?
by Edano 8/20/2011 1:34:27 AM

Radiation detecting PET plastic could be sold in new rad detection products by fall blogs.wsj.com
by lillymunster 8/20/2011 2:02:35 AM

@Edano less scary that it could have been and probably better than having it show up as zero. That is still a record?
by lillymunster 8/20/2011 2:04:04 AM

@Edano what one is up at 335? So #1 416 before quake 433 after. Any other stats changed. Going to write it up and post.
