From RSOE: Samples from B.C.'s West Coast
A radioactive metal from the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster in Japan has been discovered in the Fraser Valley, causing researchers to raise the alarm about the long-term impact of radiation on B.C.'s west coast. Examination of a soil sample from Kilby Provincial Park, near Agassiz, has for the first time in this province found Cesium 134, further evidence of Fukushima radioactivity being transported to Canada by air and water. "That was a surprise," said Juan Jose Alava, an adjunct professor in the school of resource and environmental management at Simon Fraser University, in an interview on Tuesday. "It means there are still emissions ... and trans-Pacific air pollution. It's a concern to us. This is an international issue." Cesium 134 has a half-life of two years, meaning its radioactivity is reduced by half during that time. Its presence in the environment is an indication of continuing contamination from Fukushima. A more persistent danger to people and marine life is radioactive Cesium 137, which has a half-life of 30 years, and bioaccumulates in the food chain. Researchers developed a model based on the diet of fish-eating killer whales along with the levels of Cesium 137 detected and predicted (less than 0.5 becquerels per cubic metre, a measurement of radioactivity) by other researchers in the Pacific waters offshore of Vancouver Island.

You bet!
I do want to note that within a few hours this incident was off the RSOE map, although the link is still good.

Thanks, we get so little of this information in the main news, at least not enough for anyone to think there is a REAL problem to human health yet. Radiation death happens in 'hot' pockets here and there, by wind and ocean flow. Expect it and stay away from Pacific fish unless you've got a geiger to at leat check the beta/gamma isotope amounts.

'A victim of federal cutbacks, Peter Ross, a former research scientist with the federal Institute of Ocean Sciences in Sidney on Vancouver Island, joined the Vancouver Aquarium last month as director of a new ocean science program.
Ross said he worked almost 18 years at the institute until Fisheries and Oceans Canada announced in May 2012 it would cut 55 positions nationally, nine of them within B.C., as part of a plan to “divest itself of ocean pollution research and monitoring to the private, non-profit and academic sectors.”
It seems the universities testing are not permitted to tell all they know or to publish anything that might get the public upset with the nuclearcrats. Testing for Cs 134 and 137 is hardly a representative sampling of the 200+ esoteric isotopes flowing from the Fuku reactors, to pollute the entire food chain from the seafloor up and onto land by evaporation. Americium and Strontium measurements are two baddies not being mentioned in detail. I don't doubt the idea that within six years, there will be a swift kick to all sorts of marine populations. I dread that day when the SF and Monterey Bays become a hot soup of 'deadened marine life swimming.' I might just go down to the beach and cry my eyes out at that point! Now I know how the people felt when their GOM marine life was 'crudely' killed.

You are welcome. Also I notice that even on the RSOE map most alerts for nuclear events disappear quickly- many within a few hours. I make a point of looking at the map for that reason, however I am not able to view it daily.

Good idea to keep a record that you can cross-reference if you're into that journalistic thing- ;) Next time a giant b.s. story comes out about something officials want to hide, keeping a timeline of 'the stories' will help. Real news is either hidden or filtered (well isn't it always) so figuring out who has the big pieces and then who 'altered' the storyline along the way leads to interesting clues! The uranium cabal keeps it's cards close to it's chest so stories about an event like the WIPP plant take a long time to get out (it will be a hot story for Carlsbad people, for sure). If you'd care to ever post your list of 'events' say for a week, it might be interesting to match with known events on the monitor maps- :D
