Of Fukushima: "The mountains and forests that cannot even be vaguely decontaminated, will serve as a permanent source of new contamination, each rainfall washing out radiation and bringing it down from the mountains to the flat lands." Birds move around. Animals eat and excrete radioactive plant life. Radiation gets swept out to sea. It is a cycle with no end. –  <http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=27675daaad&e=45743fde61> Mycle Schneider and Linda Pentz Gunter

However, this most recent leak contains a number of radioactive elements such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, and nickel-63, meaning it isn't limited to tritium contamination, according to the New York Department of State's Coastal Zone Management Assessment.

Many countries, such as Australia, Austria, Denmark, Greece, Malaysia, New Zealand and Norway, are opposed to nuclear power. Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are phasing their plants out. It’s time Canada joined them.
