There is an old Cockney saying: –
\nWhat goes around comes around.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This saying might well be applied to the world ocean currents.<\/p>\n

Last night the following qustion struck me.<\/p>\n

How long does it take for the North Pacific Current to complete one rotation<\/a> before it comes back to pick up more radioactive water from the Fukushimma nukiller power plant ?<\/p>\n

The key point to remember is that the plant is and will be contaminating the Pacific for many decades to come.<\/p>\n

One does not need to be a scientist to work out what happens next.<\/p>\n

Many coasts of the Pacific will recieve yet more radioactive water:\u00a0 –\u00a0 time and time and time and time and time again.<\/p>\n

How long must we keep reading reports such as the following?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2018Huge increase in dead and sick sea mammals on California coast \u2014 Unprecedented numbers,
\nannual record broken in 7 months.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2018 Millions of fish dead at Oregon coast \u2014 \u201cCraziest thing I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d \u2014 \u201cYou can\u2019t blame people for being alarmed\u201d \u2014 Aquarium: \u201cIt kind of looks like the apocalypse\u2026 especially big numbers\u2026\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

or<\/p>\n

\u2018 Study: Plutonium from Fukushima went further than Chernobyl \u2014 Researchers \u2018surprised\u2019 their most plutonium-contaminated sample was from site farthest from Fukushima plant \u2014 Concern material is flowing into Pacific Ocean from land.\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n

Yet many people still don\u2019t get it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is happening at Fukushima is an ongoing disaster, and not something which happened in the past.<\/p>\n

We need to keep reminding ourselves about this fact on a daily basis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
