Models are used to forecast the likely progression of radionuclides from Fukushima

The likely scale of the radioactive plume of water from Fukushima due to hit the west coast of North America should be known in the next two months.

Only minute traces of pollution from the beleaguered Japanese power plant have so far been recorded in Canadian continental waters.

This will increase as contaminants disperse eastwards on Pacific currents.

But scientists stress that even the peak measurements will be well within the limits set by safety authorities.

Sucks all around.



Our "consumer" society needs to end.

I just want to grow my vegis and keep a good goat for milk and cheese and a nice sheep for wool. But the mechanized world is not over "there" anymore. It's above us, under us, inside us and it encroaches from every direction. There's just no escaping it.
