As the Fukushima Nuclear reactors have begun to meltdown, Nuclear authorities are now detecting Radioactive Cesium as far as 1 Kilometer away from the Nuclear Plant. During the meltdown process many radioactive Isotopes will be released into the environment. Cesium-137 is one of the most dangerous radioactive isotopes to be detected yet. Cesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years, meaning it will continue to emit radiation for at least 30 years in the atmosphere. This Cesium has been found in both soil samples and sea-water samples. The spread of Cesium will have a terrible effect on sea-life and human-life in the surround areas and further, should it continue to spread.
Much of this radiation is going into the ocean which will affect all types of sea life, in a country who consumes an enormous quantity of sea-food. The Japanese will face numerous health hazards and cancers due to the continued release of radiation into the atmosphere. Even as the government continues to reassure them that everything is OK.
The United States will also face issues, just this week Fukushima radiation was detected in cow's milk in Washington State, and rain water in Massachusetts and the Carolinas. At last count Fukushima radiation had been detected in 15 American States.
It is urgent that everyone pay attention to radiation levels and begin to think about avoiding certain foods from the Pacific and Japan, and now milk from Washington State as well.
