Fukushima Contamination Reaching US West Coast

The large discharge of radioactivity into the northwest Pacific Ocean from the 2011 Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear reactor accident has generated considerable concern about the spread of this material across the ocean to North America … By June, 2013, the Fukushima signal had spread onto the Canadian continental shelf and by February, 2014 had increased to a value of 2 Bq/m3 throughout the upper 150 m of the water column resulting in an overall doubling of the fallout background from atmospheric nuclear weapons tests.

And the level of contamination is now much higher:

Cesium 137 has a half-life of 30.17 years and is a carcinogen:

Nuclear power ranks near the top of the list of the dumbest things humanity has ever done to this planet. I say this as a former nuclear submarine engineering officer, as a 25-year veteran of the nuclear industry, and as a former acolyte of the nuclear power religion.
