IAEA: One Third Of World’s Oceans Poisoned By Fukushima Radiation

Officials at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have admitted that one-third of the world’s oceans are now contaminated by Fukushima radiation.  The IAEA say that nuclear waste caused by the 2011 nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi reactors in Japan, has caused dangerous amounts of radioactive materials to spill into the Pacific ocean. Anonhq.com reports: When the disaster happened, countries based around the Pacific Ocean were on high alert, due to the potential economic and environmental implications of the disaster. This prompted the IAEA, together with the Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA) Member States to establish the Technical Cooperation (TC) to monitor the presence of radioactive substances in the marine environment. The TC was also to ensure that seafood from the region was safe for consumption, and to maintain a comprehensive overview and full facts of the accident, considering its grave implications. The first TC annual review meeting was held in August 2012, to demonstrate predictive hydrodynamic models. Experts then predicted that the strong current, known as the Kuroshio Current and its extension, had the ability to transport the radioactive substances across the Pacific Ocean in an easterly direction. During the meeting, the concentration of radioactivity was not as high as [...]
