False. This has been proven over and over. There was no radiation here from Japan!

There is SOME radioactive material from Japan in our waters, but not enough to worry over. Per the article you posted:

Although just barely discernible by our most sophisticated instruments, these signs, and the many more signs from samples we’ve collected on both sides of the Pacific, show that releases have continued, but that at current rates, it would take 5,000 years to equal the amount of cesium released in the accident’s first few months. Despite this, the fact remains that this event is unprecedented in its total release of radioactive contamination into the ocean. Nevertheless, we often struggle to detect signals from Fukushima above the background radiation that surrounds us every day.

So, radiation, yes; but enough for us to detect, no. Why? Cuz the Pacific Ocean is really really really really really really BIG.
