Fukushima Inform
Related Project
Featured Project
GOAL:

Gather seawater samples from the West Coast and test for Fukushima radioactive isotopes.

Do you live on the West Coast? If you’re concerned about radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, you can learn more about it AND help collect water samples for scientific analysis with the Canadian-based Fukushima Inform project. So far, samples have not revealed any waters with the Fukushima fingerprint isotope, which is good news! However, more samples are needed: new data seems to indicate that that the leading edge of the Fukushima plume has reached West Coast waters. Volunteers in the Fukushima Inform project receive a sampling kit each month which they use to collect seawater at their local shoreline. The sample gets shipped to the University of Victoria where it will be analyzed for radioactive isotopes from the disaster. To participate, sign up to volunteer with the InFORMal Scientists, and get more information.
