April 2, 2012, www.whoi.edu | “An international research team is reporting the results of a research cruise they organized to study the amount, spread, and impacts of radiation released into the ocean from the tsunami-crippled reactors in Fukushima, Japan.”

 

“~ Fukushima Radiation Dispersal by Ocean Currents Lowers Concentrations to Below Danger Levels, may take a year or two to cross the Pacific. “Levels . . . ranged from below detection level to levels that, while elevated, remained within standards set for human consumption.”
Here’s the recently published research paper: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/03/26/1120794109.full.pdf+html?sid=72f048d5-5cdd-44cf-8dc8-a76c005518ee
