(Natural News) In recent weeks, two new landmarks were crossed in the ongoing, inexorable spread of radioactive material from the 2011 Fukushima disaster toward North America’s west coast. In November, researchers from the Fukushima InFORM project detected the radioactive isotope Cesium-134 (Cs-134) in Canadian salmon. Then on December 9, researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution […]

(Natural News) An animated earthquake map video produced by the U.S. NWS Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) shows every recorded earthquake between January 1, 2001, and December 31, 2015, – the first 15 years of the 21st century. The amazing and somewhat terrifying animation proceeds at a rate of 30 days per second, and reveals […]

(Natural News) The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is one of the biggest environmental terrors of our generation. An entire region of Japan was turned into a complete disaster area because of the negligence of one corporation. As horrifying as the initial disaster was, the longterm effects are what we should all be focused on — because it […]

(Natural News) Niigata City is the capital of the Niigata Prefecture, Japan. It is located on the island’s west coast adjacent to the Sea of Japan. Depending on the route taken, Niigata is a mere three to four hour drive across the island to the east coast town of Namie and other cities that remain desolate, abandoned and set apart inside a nuclear exclusion zone, the […]

(Natural News) Fascinatingly, the aftereffects of the Fukushima nuclear disaster have been significantly more devastating than they initially appeared. Like radiation itself, the short-term effects were nowhere near as brutal as those in the longterm. Things were bad at first, but in recent months, things have gotten much, much worse — for people all over […]

(Natural News) Thanks to the environmental disaster that was Fukushima and the incredibly long half-life of iodine-129, the Pacific coast may never be the same again. It will take about 16 million years for the contamination from the tremendous nuclear accident to dissipate. While a vast array of radioactive isotopes were released into the environment […]

(Natural News) The Fukushima disaster continues to prove that its tidal wave of environmental destruction will reach across the globe. The western coast of North America, for example, has been experiencing a dramatic decline in marine life. With cases of malnourished and starving sea lions and brown pelicans popping up along the coastline, whales and […]

(Natural News) In late June 2016, the Telegraph reported that the United Kingdom would soon be allowing rice grown from the radiation-contaminated Fukushima region of Japan to be sold on store shelves again. This will be the first time food from this region will be sold in the UK since the 2011 accident occurred. This will […]
