Radiation from Fukushima has covered Canada
American oceanographers found off the Pacific coast of Canada radioactive cesium-134 and cesium-137. Get in the water near Vancouver island in British Columbia dangerous constituents could solely NPP "Fukushima-1" where 4 years ago there was a terrible man-made tragedy.
The contents found in samples of water of radioactive cesium-134 is 1.4 becquerels per cubic meter, the concentration of cesium-137 was above 5.8 becquerels. According to the version of scientists from the U.S. Oceanographic Institution, the level of radiation doesn't pose a danger to the inhabitants of our planet, the marine flora and fauna, but in the foreseeable future it is likely to increase. In fact, researchers believe that even if swimming in infected waters every day for a year, the radiation dose received will be a thousand times lower than after the 1st x-ray of teeth.
As told RIA Novosti, radioactive drugs were found on the shoreline of North America for the first time after the tragedy at the nuclear power plant "Fukushima-1". According to researchers, subsequently the same number of drugs can be found off the Pacific coast of the United States. With all this, the specialists reported that the closer the radiation approaching the shore, the harder it is to predict its spread. Earlier it was reported that after the tragedy at the nuclear power plant "Fukushima-1" radioactive drugs were detected in 161 kilometers from the coast of Northern California.
Recall that on March 11, 2011 in northeastern Japan, an earthquake of magnitude of 9.0, the result of which, there was a huge tsunami that flooded 4 of 6 of NPP "Fukushima-1" and has put out of action system of cooling of reactors. The tragedy became a major in the last 25 years after the Chernobyl disaster. The complete elimination of the tragedy, including the dismantling of the reactors is about 40 years.
