Where to Find Reliable Information about Radioactivity from Fukushima
Wednesday, May 6th, 2015Find informed answers to your questions about radiation from Fukushima on the following websites:
InFORM (based in British Columbia)
Integrated Fukushima Ocean Radionuclide Monitoring (InFORM) Network:
A collaborative radiation monitoring network to determine and communicate environmental risks for Canada’s Pacific and Arctic Oceans from the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear accident.InFORM consists of a group of citizen scientists collecting water samples in coastal areas of British Columbia which they submit for testing to a lab at the University of Victoria and other international testing facilities.
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
The world’s largest independent, not-for-profit ocean research and testing facility. Based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The WHOI website is a great source of information regarding radioactivity from Fukushima.
Topics covered include:- I have a Geiger counter. Can I use it to detect radiation from Fukushima?
- Are there other ways to detect Fukushima radiation in the ocean?
- Where does radiation from Fukushima go once it enters the ocean?
- How far can radiation travel?
- Is radiation exposure from the ocean and beach a concern?
- How long is the radiation from Fukushima a risk to humans and the environment?
- What is the normal background level of radiation?
- How will the radioactive material released in Japan affect humans?
- What is the state of fisheries off Japan and along U.S. West Coast?
- Are fish such as tuna that might have been exposed to radiation from Fukushima safe to eat?
- Is debris washing ashore on the US/Canadian West Coast of concern?
