Radiation from the Fukushima 1 plant has spread to the United States

On August 16, Kyodo news agency said US scientists have discovered a small amount of radioactive sulfur dispersed from Japan's No. 1 Fukushima nuclear power plant on the west coast of the United States.

The team of scientists from the University of California discovered two types of sulfur-containing sulfur-35 oxide higher than normal at a monitoring point near San Diego (USA) over a period of time. from the end of March to the beginning of April 2011.

This concentration peaked on March 28 and was 2-3 times higher than the measured concentration in normal conditions.

The team thinks that chlorine in seawater reacts with neutrons and produces sulfur-35 radioactive material . This radioactive material was released into the atmosphere with steam and was blown to the west coast of the United States.

According to sources, traces of other radioactive substances such as iodine dispersed from Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant have been detected in many other areas of the United States. Even in California, people discovered these radioactive substances in milk.
