You mentioned three events:

The first is a Lithuanian measurement that clearly included Iodine and Cesium from Fukushima... but the plutonium was only identifies as not being from Chernobyl. Why assume that it wasn't from Kyshtym or the Windscale incident? Both put out far more Plutonium than Fukushima.

The second is just a paper about plutonium uptake in birds. The abstract makes no mention of isotope ratios or sources it from Fukushima.

The third has nothing at all to do with plutonium. Frankly... I think you brought it up because you noticed it recently on ENE and thought it made some point. It doesn't.

even after radioactive sulfur from Fukushima was monitored in Southern California

This isn't a recent story. sulfur has a very short half-life and is long gone. All it tells us is that salt water was poured into the cores at Fukushima.

You know that's not news... right?

It is well known how it happened RobertEarl Jan 2014 #8

You've misread it FBaggins Jan 2014 #10

Quote "...roughly one tenth the average daily dose " RobertEarl Jan 2014 #13

Wrong. Read the paper for yourself. X_Digger Jan 2014 #15

Really? So how do you explain the plutonium found 25 miles from Fukushima? Octafish Jan 2014 #22

Does "minimal" now equal zero? FBaggins Feb 2014 #49
