Fukushima Radiation on US West Coast Poses No Health Risk, Scientists Say

‘Despite the devastating nuclear accident at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant in March 2011, scientists studying the waters off the west coast of the United States have concluded that there is no contamination risk to people or the local ecology.
Studying the waters of the Pacific coastline, scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts and from Ottawa’s Fisheries and Oceans Canada found levels of Cesium-134, the radiation footprint of the Fukushima disaster, to be at levels below what a dental patient would be exposed to in a routine X-ray, according to the Associated Press.
Radiation levels in surrounding seawater were found to be “even less than things like CT scans or flying in a plane or even living at high altitude. Personally I’m not concerned about those levels,” said scientist Ken Buesseler of Woods Hole.’
