RAIN AND FUKUSHIMA CONTAMINATION
How Rain Dumps Fukushima Radiation On West Coast Jeff Rense 11-2-12
Radioactive
isotopes are constantly spewed from the destroy Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear plant and are easily picked up by the jet stream and transported
across the North Pacific in storm systems. When these weather fronts
hit the mainland, the rains wash the radioactive particles out of the
air and spreads them over everything that receives precipitation. The
US West Coast and especially British Columbia, specifically the
Vancouver area, get hit the hardest. As the jet stream migrates up and
down the coast during the rainy season, the highest levels of
radioactivity will accumulate, logically, in the areas of higher
rainfall. The more the rain, the higher the radiation concentration in
the soil. The radiation, of course, is not all washed out at once and
continues to be transported and dumped on the US and Canada from West to
East with measurable amounts of contamination ultimately having been
recorded in multiple locations of Europe. Note - Some winter storm
systems come upward from the tropics and the Hawaii area (known as the
'pineapple express' storms) are much less contaminated.
Everything
from trees to shrubs and all agricultural crops uptake the Fukushima
radiation from the now contaminated soil and eventually spread through
the entire food chain. Nothing is spared. The hay and grasses growing
in contaminated soil are consumed by beef and dairy cattle and that is
how radiative isotopes wind up in the animals and their milk products.
That's why Cesium 137 was found in the milk of Vermont dairy cattle in
the months after the 3-11 disaster...and that is why you'll hear nothing
from the EPA about radiation in our crops, meat and dairy products.
Only covered greenhouses were and are spared being hit with radioactive
rains.

One
case where a ground level release might get lofted to high altitudes is
when the source region is located near an approaching low pressure
system (extratropical cyclone), as is the case today. On the cold side
of the approaching warm front, where the Fukushima nuclear plant is
located today, lies a broad band of ascending air called the "cold
conveyor belt." This conveyor belt can loft surface air to an altitude
of several kilometers in a day, as seen in the trajectory plot in Figure
2. In addition, the "warm sector" of a low pressure system in front of
the approaching cold front features a ribbon of ascending air about 100 -
200 km wide called a "warm conveyor belt", which is also capable of
lofting surface air several kilometers high in a day.
