Cesium 137 & Cesium 134 detected in seaweed on the West Coast of British Columbia

We have new clear precise lab results that seaweed on the West Coast of BC has both Cesium 137 and Cesium 134 radiation in it. PLEASE stop eating from the Pacific. Results are from a test sample sent in from my friend Jeff whose use of a Geiger Counter on seaweed showed distinctly elevated readings. He sent the samples to labs and these were the results.

The final result is in for the seaweed sample you sent us on June 16, 2015.

137Cs = 0.5 +/- 0.3 Bq/kg
134Cs = 0.3 +/- 0.3 Bq/kg

The 137Cs is above the limit of detection. The 134Cs is at the detection,limit which is generally considered a nondetect.

While the amount of radio cesium was low it held up after repeated analyses. Although the result is a low detect, it is nevertheless one of the few samples that shows any radioactive cesium in west coast seaweed samples. Time will tell if it is part of a trend.

  1. Now the plan is to allow extraction of Uranium from Labrador by a foreign country Australia without any local input. However there may be some local flunky type jobs involved which I think is Wrong. Leave it in the Earth.

  2. What are the implications for this? Don’t eat seaweeds? Don’t use for garden compost? How is this effecting other marine plants? How is this effecting all marine animals, particularly the whales and their food sources? How does this impact the salmon that we eat? Do open-pen fish farms have their salmon contaminated?
