Scientists baffled over Fukushima radiation found in park in British Columbia

International Business Times: Radioactive activity from Fukushima has reached Fraser River Valley in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Although the scientists uncovered very low levels of cesium-134 in the soil, they remain baffled as to how it arrived in the area. "The sample provided was measured and we saw cesium-134, at a very low level and not a concern to public health," Krzysztof Starosta, an associate professor of chemistry at Simon Fraser University, said. But what baffles scientists about this latest find...

Fukushima meltdown continues around the world
2014-03-12 17:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Ecologist: Three years ago today we first learned of the on-going meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. TV screens showed long lens shots of concrete buildings exploding in showers of dust, worsening the burdens of one of Japan's worst natural disasters in recent times. The timing was unfortunate for some - such as the environmental activists who had recently gone 'pro-nuclear' - and that's not to forget one commentator who, remarkably, went pro-nuclear as a direct result of the catastrophe. At...

Japan: The children of Japan's Fukushima battle an invisible enemy
2014-03-10 01:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Some of the smallest children in Koriyama, a short drive from the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, barely know what it's like to play outside -- fear of radiation has kept them in doors for much of their short lives. Though the strict safety limits for outdoor activity set after multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in 2011 have now been eased, parental worries and ingrained habit mean many children still stay inside. And the impact is now starting to show, with children...
