Bo Jacobs"Fukushima Pollution Solution: Spread <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Radioactivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Radioactivity</a> Far and Wide""Japan’s oceanic radioactive pollution was supposed to have been banned with the 1972 Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter. This monumental international law against disposing of hazardous and radioactive wastes at sea prohibits dumping 'from vessels, aircraft, platforms or other man-made structures.'Yet the use of major undersea pipelines at Fukushima-Daiichi in Japan, at La Hague in France, and at Sellafield in the UK have been granted exemptions — as if the massive pumping systems were not 'man-made.' On a yearly basis, the <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/LaHague" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaHague</a> plutonium processing system discharges some 1.4 million barrels worth of liquid radioactive waste into the North Sea, Greenpeace reports.And the UK’s <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Sellafield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sellafield</a> site pumps 24 million barrels of radioactive liquids into Irish Sea every year."<a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/Fukushima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fukushima</a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nuclear</a> <a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/02/24/fukushima-pollution-solution-spread-radioactivity-far-and-wide/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/02/24/fukushima-pollution-solution-spread-radioactivity-far-and-wide/</a>

Ele Willoughby, PhDShe died in 1934 from aplastic anemia brought on by exposure to radiation, including carrying test tubes of radium in her pockets during research & her WWI service in her mobile X-ray units.Her pioneering work explaining <a href="https://spore.social/tags/radioactivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radioactivity</a> earned her the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband Pierre Curie & with physicist Henri Becquerel.

Lauri SiltalaFor fun and curiosity, I have few random sensors logging data at my home 24/7.Earlier this month, I saw multiple events where my Geiger counter detected significant (not dangerously so) temporary increase in <a href="https://solarsystem.social/tags/radioactivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#radioactivity</a> for some reason.Today I think I got an explanation! The Finnish radiation authority <a href="https://solarsystem.social/tags/stuk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stuk</a> posted that that they have measured Cesium-137 levels over 20 times higher than usual in the air early this month, likely coming in from the fires raging in <a href="https://solarsystem.social/tags/Chernobyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chernobyl</a> So cool!
