(28,706 posts)Yes... the first two measured plutonium.
As has been pointed out multiple times... much more plutonium (many tens of thousands of times as much) was released in weapons testing and prior nuclear accidents than was released at Fukushima. Finding plutonium does not tell you that it came from Fukushima.
That can be determined by the isotopic fingerprint of the contamination. In neither of the cases that you cited was there evidence that it was from Fukushima.
The third found radioactive sulfur. I brought it up because the dean can't get more research funded.
Why would finding sulfure three years ago get research funded? There isn't any more of it to find. The half-life is too short.
No need for condescension,
As with the reports mentioning plutonium... you are reading into the post something that isn't there. You obviously misunderstood what you were reading - so I clarified it for you.
