Royal Society of Chemistry, National Institute for Physics & Nuclear Engineering, Romania, 2015 (emphasis added): AMS analyses of I-129 from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in the Pacific Ocean waters of the Coast La Jolla, San Diego, USA — This paper presents the results of an experimental study we performed by using the Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) method with iodine 129 (Halflife = 15.7 Million years], to determine the increase of the radionuclide content in the USA West Pacific Coast waters, two years after the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident… The results of the experiments showed a significant increase of the radionuclide concentration during the late spring of 2013. Compared to the isotopic ratio 129I/127I, measured at a 40 km distance, offshore of Fukushima and immediately after the accident, our results show an increase on the USA West Coast that was more than a 2.5 factor higher. Also, compared with the pre-Fukushima background values [in San Diego], our results show an isotopic ratio of about two orders of magnitude higher…
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant… released an enormous amount of liquid waste of 129I and other fission isotopes directly into the Pacific Ocean that were subsequently dispersed eastwards. This paper reports on the determination of the nuclear plume impact on the West Coast of the USA that happened during April–July 2013… The determined maximum 129I concentration 
increase was in an amount of more than 2 times greater than the concentration of the isotope measured offshore of Fukushima at a 40 km distance immediately after the accident…
129I concentrations were measured… from the ocean water of the West Coast of the USA [at] La Jolla, San Diego… This work reports two sudden increases of the 129I/127I isotopic concentration in the ocean water, which were observed at the end of spring 2013…
Our exploratory measurements on the USA West Coast started on samples collected at the beginning of 2013. The lowest 129I concentrations that we measured had values between [6-20 million] atoms per L. Such values correspond to the equilibrium concentration of iodine… offshore of La Jolla, San Diego…
Our results… measured offshore of Cove La Jolla, San Diego, USA, during the spring of 2013, are presented in Fig. 5. Two high and distinct spike maxima are visible. They reveal the maximum concentration values of [1.2 billion] atoms per L measured on May 24, 2013 and [1.7 billion] atoms per L measured on June 18, 2013, with 24 days in between. Both peaks occurred in the measurement spectrum after a slow increase in concentration 
that started about 15-20 days before the main increase…
Samples collected [by Fukushima Daiichi, Jun 2011] at a distance of about 40 km away from the coast [had] a maximum concentration value of [620 million] atoms per L for 129I in the surface water of the ocean. Taking into account this value as a reference value, the maximum 129-iodine concentration reaching the USA West Coast was 2.5 times stronger than in the contaminated ocean water offshore of Fukushima after the accident. If we compare it to the equilibrium value of 129I concentration in the ocean water [near San Diego], then during the impact its concentration was about 100 times higher…
AMS measurements of 129I were performed on ocean water… offshore of Cove La Jolla, San Diego, USA, and definitely have shown an increase of the radioactivity more than two orders of magnitude over the natural level of the Pacific Ocean before the accident…

B.C. Centre for Disease Control issues public warning about oyster illness Jan 13, 2017
…More than 70 people in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island have come down with what appears to be norovirus after eating raw or lightly cooked oysters at home or in restaurants since the beginning of December. More cases are expected to appear in the next few weeks, according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.
“I’ve seen the news and we’re taking precautions,” Johnson said. “We’re going to do some research but until we know for sure, we’ve pulled all our B.C. oysters.”
The outbreak of gastrointestinal illness is a puzzling one, according to Dr. Eleni Galanis, an epidemiologist at the BCCDC. The affected oysters seem to come from several different locations.
“It is unusual and somewhat perplexing why there would be so many different oysters from different harvest sites involved,” she said.
Seven patients have tested positive for norovirus so far, but how the oysters came to be contaminated with the pathogen is also a mind-boggler.
“The most likely source leading to this kind of case … is contamination of our ocean waters, but we don’t know how. We haven’t found the smoking gun,”
…
The latest outbreak only adds to an ongoing mystery that began in late November, when about 120 people contracted norovirus after eating oysters in Tofino.
…“This event has been occurring for 20 years. This is the first time anything like this has ever happened,” she said.
…
…No source has been determined for any of the contamination.
“I’ll be quite blunt in saying we don’t know quite what’s going on here,” Hasselback said. “We’ve spent a lot of time trying to understand what’s going on here and I think we have as many questions as you might have.”
…
In my opinion, it is not just the radioactive contamination from Fukushima directly poisoning the sea and causing the large Pacific Ocean die offs, it is a combination of interrelated factors, because everything is interconnected.
North Pacific Ocean water is now a mixture of toxic industrial chemicals washed out to sea during the tsunami, and a variety of radioactive isotopes, not just Cesium, but also Tritium, Strontium, Americium, and Plutonium, etc. A lot of these isotopes are heavy metal toxins, as well as being radioactive. All this has now been added to the toxins that were already in the Pacific Ocean, before Fukushima.
A single toxin in the environment can be a hazard, and maybe an organism's natural biological defence system can deal with this effectively. If an organism has multiple toxins present, radiological and chemical, to deal with at the same time, you get a biological toxicity multiplying effect. The human or animal defence systems become weaker the more toxins they have to deal with.
Biologically, one toxin plus one toxin, does not equate double the toxicity effect. Studies show you can get a multiplying toxicity damaging effect 10 to 20 times greater. The organism becomes overloaded dealing with too much toxic stress at once.
All this weakens the immune systems of humans, plants and animals. So we could see viruses and bacteria that would normally be under check become more infectious, or viruses and bacteria mutate into more infectious…

Indeed vital1, there is evidence from the Bikini bomb tests that toxic algae can bloom as a consequence. I have theorized that since domoic acid has metal mobilizing functions, this could give nitzschia an advantage in the continual competition of plankton balance. Also noteworthy is that even though toxic shellfish poisoning was known since antiquity, it wasnt until the atomic era that toxic algae blooms became such a concern. The establishment gives four reasons for this; Increased scientific study, use of coastal water for aquaculture, stimulation of blooms by cultural eutrophication, and unusual water conditions including transport of species by ship ballast water. Perhaps they should look into nuclear fallout
"…As a physician I examine the dying planet as I do a dying patient. The earth has a natural system of interacting homeostatic mechanisms similar to the human body's. If one system is diseased, like the ozone layer, then other systems develop abnormalities in function – the crops will die, the plankton will be damaged, and the eyes of all creatures on the planet will become diseased and vision impaired. "

Amen..
CS —
Can you point me in the direction of studies on algae blooms and the Bikini blasts?
Thanks.
@4truth. Sorry, Ive been trying to find some links for you on the bloom of toxic algae after the Bikini bomb tests. I havent been successful. I recall that they talked about two problems; radioactive contamination and the neurotoxicity of the plankton. The algae in question was not nitzschia but another algae which I cant recall.
I did read about it not that long ago, so the info is out there somewhere.
i too have seen that study and will be on the lookout…

thank you! i appreciated the comments on occasion beckoning me back. health, math, and probate kept me away. then the election leveled the structure of my determination somewhat (though now i daresay i even find inspiration of a sort therefrom). and *then* well bad news wont stay hidden now will it. the current crop of articles is in a way worse that no news for so long, but it is certainly a welcome feeling i have, in response to being welcomed…
Hi a female faust..all left to do now is reinstall your interesting avatar..;)
code — i found it! its in the foreward to a a report done by the Department of the Interior, the report itself is 345 pages long and my search function claims that algal blooms are mentioned nowhere else. I extracted the foreward and uploaded it to my Google Drive to share it. I am uploaing the report itself, but that will take for-effin-ever with my setup. the link to the foreward which mentions the algae on page 6 or 7 is:

ps now looking at it that may not be the citation we both remember, so i will look further when i can. i just discovered a new way to index my vast disorganized collection – i was looking there before online, though online excavation is usually my preferred, due to my not negligible skill therewith…

i wonder if this veteran noticed any increase in algae compared to before the test? that question would be most interesting to have answered…
Just FYI, big ugly coconut crabs and big black flies inhabit some of those islands now.
Probably more resistant to radiation effects, like cockroaches.

Prediction:
The robot will discover a hole in the pedestal floor.

discover a sink hole. I'm not sure after this many years if there's a floor.
It would have to be full of migrating water.
– Tokyo Electric Power Co. sent a camera into the containment vessel of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant on Jan. 26 as it started a full-scale survey of the damage inside.
The probe is being conducted in advance of plans to send a robot into the heavily contaminated vessel in February to determine the locations of the melted nuclear fuel.
Nearly six years have passed since the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 triggered the Fukushima nuclear accident. However, the precise locations of the melted fuel inside the No. 2 reactor are unknown.

Anyone care to weigh in on these types of 'fool-proof' reactors..?
Yeah , we never needed any of them , it was all a lie then , and it still is today..and will be forever..a lie composed by nothing but lies no matter the angle you look at it..as long as your feet are touching bio-reality..
Without looking into 'exactly' the style of reactor, I'll go out on a limb and say 'loss of coolant' will kill them all.
Power production/steam-turbine types.
Even a conventional boiler will 'burn-up/explode/melt' with no coolant
But the damage is 'limited'. haha like 0 by comparison.
No Nuke Power Plants-it's stupid!
"..I'll go out on a limb and say 'loss of coolant' will kill them all.."
Yes , its bound to happen sooner or later..to all of it..non of it will be contained forever..if from the beginning we had at least maintained and obeyed , regardless the price , a strict safety protocol ..but nope..no different from the oil and gas company's..time is consequent..we are not , actually flat out corrupt , delusional AND thrillseeking with the lives of others..

…According to the latest revision, the post-accident costs for Tokyo Electric Power Co. Holdings' Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is estimated at 21.5 trillion yen ($187 billion). These costs include decommissioning the reactors and compensating affected residents.
Now that the new estimate has raised the compensation costs from 5.4 trillion yen to 7.9 trillion yen, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry wants new power providers, none of whom has a nuclear plant, to shoulder some of the burden.
…
…Assuming their collective share is 10%, they would together be hit up for 240 billion yen.
If all of this is passed on to households, each monthly bill will be an average 18 yen higher for the next 40 years, regardless of whether a household buys electricity from a legacy utility or a new entrant.
…
…Advisory board members still want the legacy utilities and government to explain why the companies failed to set aside enough emergency reserves; they also want the government to give further details as to how it reached the decision to make ratepayers fully responsible for the failings of industry executives.
Tepcon did some 'restructuring'
" 19 August 2015
Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) has announced a restructuring of the company which will see its nuclear and decommissioning operations remaining under a new holding company, while its non-nuclear businesses will be spun off into three subsidiaries." http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/C-Tepco-announces-restructuring-1908154.html
Oh no, that Lady advised them:
"September 13, 2013
Barbara Judge, deputy chairwoman of Tepco’s monitoring committee, said another possible model for decommissioning would be to hand the task to a government-funded body, which could then contract private companies to retire the site.
It’s the model adopted by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority in the U.K., where she served as chairwoman of the country’s Atomic Energy Authority.
“It’s a different skill,” said Judge, in a separate interview in Tokyo. “One is operating and producing electricity and the other is dismantling infrastructure that is old and dangerous.”

The first more or less open report, “Radio-contamination Patterns and Possible Health Consequences of the Accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station”, was presented by Ilyin at the General Session of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR in Moscow on 21-23 March 1989. It uses the 35-rem concept and notes, particularly, that for the population of the strict control zones (SCZ):
[…] estimations of late effects were based on the actual doses in the four years following the accident and on the projected doses until 2060, the latter calculated on the assumption that restrictions on the use of home-grown foodstuffs would be lifted in the SCZs.

An eye-opening flight over California’s dying forests
The death toll will probably rise by tens of millions of trees, even if heavier rains come this year, said Greg Asner, head of the team from Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C.
Using technology that has diagnosed problems in the Amazon rain forest and the jungles of Borneo, the researchers are learning that California’s unprecedented tree die-off is moving well beyond its origins in the southern Sierra Nevada and along parts of the southern coast. It’s creeping farther north, and to higher elevations, not only providing tinder for wildfires, but also obstructing the forests’ fundamental ability to provide clean water and absorb carbon dioxide.

First, they blame the warm water for killing them…then they are waiting for it to warm up..(for food availability.)
Exactly, it's bullshit upon bullshit, over and over again. For awhile they were saying it was too warm and then they said it was too cold, now it's too warm again.
