As I said above, it could be biological. Whatever it is, it needs a serious looking into when it starts affecting fish populations to the degree that's being reported above (e.g., historically low Salmon runs).

The way this government wastes funny money, a few hundred thousand dollar grants to several diverse groups, isn't going to hurt our credit rating any worse.

Radiological contamination from atomic weapons is certainly different from a reactor meltdown. I'm no expert, but would imagine the actual containments, their quantity, and dispersal vary greatly.

Let's get some trustworthy experts on scene and so they can determine the extinct of what we're facing, then let the world know!

"Whatever it is, it needs a serious looking into when it starts affecting fish populations to the degree that's being reported above (e.g., historically low Salmon runs)."

Low salmon runs long predate Fukushima. I now live in Washington state, and this is discussed FREQUENTLY up here.

Un-needed. There are agencies of all sorts that have lab facilities capable of these kinds of measurements. Or, the interested party could simply take some samples to the nearest university.....virtually every university has capability to do nuclear measurements.

Or simply buy a Geiger-Mueller counter. The stuff most often mentioned is Cs-137, which emits gamma rays....which just happen to be what GM tubes detect most easily. They are NOT that expensive..a quick check shows Edmunds Scientifics selling a portable GM unit for $390. Get a calibration source for Cs-137 for a few more bucks, and have at it.

True. The biggest difference is that stuff from weapons depends on where the weapon was detonated (air burst, underground, or under water).

So, tell me which experts are "trustworthy"?? Most gov't departments these days have been largely taken over by the "green agenda" (especially so during this current administration). "I" certainly wouldn't put much credence in their output. Look at global warming.
