[ RadSafe ] Nuclear-News/Global Research Claim - Until at least 2026 radioactive plume will continue to flow across Pacific

[Roger Helbig]

Seriously question that there is a "massive radioactive plume" - is
there any serious research being presented here or is it just hype to
recruit more for the anti-nuclear crowd?

Until at least 2026 radioactive plume will continue to flow across Pacific

assive Radiation Plume from Fukushima Heading Toward American West
Coast According to a Scientific Report By David Gutierrez Global
Research, September 11, 2014 According to scientific modeling systems
used by the European Union, the radioactive ocean plume released by
the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster is likely to remain a massive
clump of radioactivity until it slams into the West Coast of the
United States in late 2017. On March 11, 2011, a massive earthquake
and tsunami struck Japan, knocking out power and cooling capability to
the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Within three days, multiple
meltdowns and reactor explosions had taken place. By March 25, massive
amounts of radioactive material were observed leaking directly into
the Pacific Ocean.

In 2013, the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center in Norway
used computer models to project the movement and dispersion of this
radioactive plume. Although the results of this study have been cited
in official Chinese government documents, they have not been widely
publicized.

Levels to remain high through at least 2026

The researchers used two separate scenarios to model leakage of
radioactivity from the Fukushima plant into the Pacific. The first
scenario assumed continuous and constant leakage for 20 days, while
the second assumed continuous and constant leakage for one year.

Although delivering differing estimates of total radiation, both
models concluded that the pollution would remain in a relatively
unified mass and take the same path across the ocean until crashing up
against western North America. Both models show the plume colliding
with the U.S. West Coast and beginning to spread out starting around
late 2017, with a maximum concentration of radiation hitting the coast
toward the end of
2018........http://www.globalresearch.ca/massive-radiation-plume-from-fukushima-heading-toward-american-west-coast-according-to-a-scientific-report/5401006
