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....

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...

Collectively, ISL71091SEH10/20/33/40 promote overall accuracy for 11- and 12-bit ADC resolution applications. Reference voltage is stable over time, temperature, and ionizing radiation. Performance is optimized via SOI-based PR40 process providing Single Event Latch-up (SEL) immunity, and bipolar technology enables devices to achieve low output noise with initial voltage accuracy of 0.05% Voltage accuracy is ±0.15% over -55 to +125ºC range and ±0.25% ionizing radiation.
