Richmond, California , posted on April 25, collected April 14:

Cesium-134 @ 8.9 picoCuries/liter

In the EPA�s previous four tests of California precipitation, there was no Cesium-134 or 137 detected.

Clearly the numbers are slowly rising. Why isn't there a concerted international effort to contain these reactors on the scale of Chernobyl? Seems the Soviets were far more competent than TEPCO. Yesterday, I heard the TEPCO CEOon the news say he was considering resigning!!
