Hawaii Senators push for radiation monitoring. – concerned about Fukushima effects

VIDEO: Concerns in Hawaii over Fukushima radiation, Big Island Video News,  7 Feb 14, “……..While the Fukushima Kids Hawaii Project does a lot of work for those living in the nuclear shadow of Fukushima, Kikuchi and Morita are also concerned about the effects of radiation here in Hawaii. Thats why they support a bill in the state legislature that would call for monitoring around Hawaii.

State Senators Josh Green and Russel Ruderman have introduced SB3049 which requires the Dept Of Health to implement a pilot project to monitor radiation levels over the next five years and to post periodic reports on its website.

According to the bill, the Department of Health shall:

(1) Measure and monitor radiation levels in items such as food, dairy products, rainwater, aquifers, and drainage ditches that may be susceptible to increased radiation levels due to the March 11, 2011, Fukushima nuclear disaster; and

(2) Post periodic reports on the department’s website of those radiation levels and their significance to the State.http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2014/02/06/video-concerns-in-hawaii-over-fukushima-radiation/#sthash.ACrSOsao.dpuf
