Japan Typhoon Sending Fukushima Radiation to United States


TEPCO admitted to failing to contain the massive amounts of radioactivity, and they’re claiming the amount of leaked radioactivity is relatively small, but according to research done by American scientists, it turns out they’re wrong.

“An extraordinary amount of radioactive cesium, strontium, and other isotopes… spread hundreds of miles from the site… [Rain] flooded that radioactive material to new locations… Areas of Japan previously decontaminated have now become recontaminated… Spreading contamination into populated areas via this flooding is a significant health risk… For the next 300 years, typhoon events like Etau will reoccur and will redeposit radioactivity on clean areas until all the radioactive releases during the Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe are finally washed away into the Pacific Ocean… The Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe is an ongoing tragedy for the people continuously exposed to such radioactive releases – both in Japan, and on the West Coast of the United States.”

It’s predicted that groundwater release from the site could go on for decades, and the normal means of stopping something like this have never been built on the scale required. This could mean trouble for West Coast dwellers, human and animal alike.
