Radioactive Fukushima waste has been discovered in B.C.'s Fraser Valley Radioactive Fukushima waste has been discovered in B.C.'s Fraser Valley Cesium 134 has a half-life of two years, meaning its radioactivity is reduced by half during that time. Its presence in the environment is an indication of continuing contamination from Fukushima. A more persistent danger to people and marine life is radioactive Cesium 137, which has a half-life of 30 years, and bioaccumulates in the food chain. http://bit.ly/1AJYvrd NMS Air Filter Data http://bit.ly/1vb2Fbh Health Canada's Radiation Monitoring Data and the Nuclear Emergency in Japan http://bit.ly/1AJYvrf I apologize for the music choices.
