Take a couple of years off, get a small boat and go from the West coast to Japan. Take note of all that water along the way. Keep in mind how deep that water is. You will cross over water that is well over six miles deep in some places.
If there really were a danger, as you say, from that radiation from Fukushima on the west coast, Northern Japan would be glowing in the day time and everything to the horizon in all directions, would be dead. That doesn't seem to be the case.
My expertise on how much water is out there? I was in the Navy and crossed the Pacific three times. Plus my globe and various world maps, education and some common sense. Find a swimming pool and put in a couple of drops of black ink. What color did the water in the pool turn?

Testing makes up a very small part of the "normal radiation levels" FBaggins Jan 2014 #8

I was hoping Bonobo would give me an answer madokie Jan 2014 #12

Happy to help anyway FBaggins Jan 2014 #13

I'm sorry but I can't answer that question. Bonobo Jan 2014 #18

That would be due to background radiation from granite, probably Spider Jerusalem Jan 2014 #19
