Fukushima Tainted Wine in California


Radioactive fallout from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant on the north east coast of Japan crossed the Pacific ocean and settled on the vineyards of the California wine country and sample collected in recent years show about 2 times as much radioactive cesium (a fission product) as detected before the 2011 disaster.  Not that is in no measurable way harmful.  There is probably much less fission product activity today compared to the peak of the atmospheric nuclear weapons testing performed by the USA and USSR back in the 50's and early 60's.  Click here for an article in The Health Edge.  To view the report compiled by French scientists, click here.
