Radsafe,

    The eastward Pacific current is called the Kuroshiro  current (or 
something like that).  It brings warm water from Japan to the  US west coast.  
Maybe the article says what the actual activity  concentrations are.  Pacific 
Ocean is a good source of dilution.  Ho  hum.

Roger,

I would only assume that there would be significant  dilution and the 
farther
the release gets moving eastward, the plume would  disperse quite a bit.
Without looking at modeling maps, not sure what they  mean by a ³massive
clump². Now if there is a current that essentially  remains consistent and
the speed is slow, I suppose that this is possible.  Others probably have
more data and can calculate the various forces that  would act upon the 
plume
and to what degree the majority of it would remain  intact and for how long.

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

by Christina  MacPherson

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-fukush
