No Fukushima radiation in tests off U.S. West Coast: scientists
2014-07-30 01:15:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Tests of water off the U.S. West Coast have found no signs of radiation from Japan's 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, although low levels of radiation are ultimately expected to reach the U.S. shore, scientists said on Tuesday. Results obtained this week in tests of water gathered by an Oregon conservation group and tested by East Coast scientists came in as expected with no Fukushima-linked radiation, and five more tests are planned at six-month intervals to see if radiation levels will climb....

Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory will be using one of the universe's most energetic fundamental particles to image the destruction inside Fukushima's reactor core.
Blood defects Japanese monkey linked Fukushima nuclear disaster

Blue and Green: Abnormally low levels of white and red blood cells and haemoglobin have been found in Japanese macaques in the Fukushima region, with scientists suggesting that the phenomenon might be linked to the 2011 nuclear disaster. A study that compared blood tests from 61 monkeys living 44 miles from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant with those of 31 monkeys from the Shimokita Penisula, -- 249 miles from Fukushima found the first group had low blood counts and radioactive caesium in their bodies,...

Japan: Fukushima Monkeys' Blood Shows Signs of Radiation Exposure
2014-07-24 20:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LiveScience: Wild monkeys living in forests of Fukushima the Japanese city that was the site of a nuclear power plant meltdown in 2011 have lower blood cell counts than monkeys from northern Japan, and carry detectable levels of cesium in their bodies, researchers have found. The researchers studied blood changes and signs of radiation exposure in 61 monkeys living 43 miles (70 kilometers) from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, about one year after an earthquake and tsunami struck the region in...
Study Suggests Link Between Fukushima Radiation and Japanese Monkeys Low Blood Count
2014-07-24 18:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: In addition to the area residents, cleanup crew members and consumers of regional seafood, monkeys have also suffered health issues likely attributable to the Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011. In the case of the Japanese macaques, the radioactive material spewed by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has led to abnormally low white and red blood cell levels and low haemoglobin. The findings, published Thursday in the Scientific Reports journal, show that the low counts make the monkeys...
