Observers on the west coast of the United States will be able to see a measurable increase in radioactive material three years after the event," said one of the paper's authors, Dr Erik van Sebille.
"However, people on those coastlines should not be concerned as the concentration of radioactive material quickly drops below World Health Organisation safety levels as soon as it leaves Japanese waters."
I liked the bit about Terry the radioactive Tuna too.It seems Terry completed his travels in 2005 well before the earthquake.
Tuna tested in San Diego had levels of U-237 that were less than the radioactivity that naturally occurs in a banana.
