History @ a glance, As early as 1825, the new settlement was destroyed by a storm, only to be rebuilt immediately. After this reconstruction, ca. 1830, it received its modern name after the Spanish general and governor José Cienfuegos, literally (‘One Hundred Fires’, and/or 100 gunshots). The bay of Jagua, on which Cienfuegos is situated, was discovered by Columbus during his second voyage in 1494. The name originates in Indian mythology, with Jagua being the daughter of the first pair of humans.

Atmospheric radionuclides transported to Fukuoka, Japan remote from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex following the nuclear accident.
Abstract
Radionuclides were detected from the Fukushima nuclear accident at Fukuoka, Japan, 1000 km west of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex. Iodine-131 was first detected 3 d after the accident, indicating that it was probably transported dispersively because of local meteorological conditions, and not global air circulation.
The maximum concentrations, were recorded in particles collected on April 6, 2011.

Distribution of oceanic 137Cs from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant simulated numerically by a regional ocean model
Abstract
The measured (137)Cs concentration in a seawater sample near the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant site reached 68 kBq L(-1) (6.8 × 10(4)Bq L(-1)) on 6 April.
By analysis of the (131)I/(137)Cs activity ratio, we determined that direct release from the site contributed more to the measured (137)Cs concentration than atmospheric deposition did.
We compared the total amount and concentration of (137)Cs released from the Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors to the ocean with the (137)Cs released to the ocean by global fallout.

Abstract
High-volume aerosol samples were collected at the Mt. Zeppelin Global Atmosphere Watch station, Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard (78°58'N, 11°53'E). Iodine-131 and (134)Cs and (137)Cs were observed from 25 March 2011 onwards. The maximum (131)I, (134)Cs and (137)Cs activity concentrations were 810 ± 20, 659 ± 13, and 675 ± 7 μBq/m(3), respectively.
The (134)Cs:(137)Cs activity ratio recorded in Svalbard was high compared to earlier incidents. The ratio was close to 1 which is in agreement with other studies of the Fukushima releases.

Neutron Leak
Evidence of neutron leakage at the Fukushima nuclear plant from measurements of radioactive 35S in California
http://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/citation/21844372/Evidence_of_neu...
Abstract
Here, using measurements of radioactive (35)S contained in sulfate aerosols and SO(2) gas at a coastal site in La Jolla, California, we show that nearly 4 × 10(11) neutrons per m(2) leaked at the Fukushima nuclear power plant before March 20, 2011. A significantly higher (35)SO(2-)(4) activity as measured on March 28 is in accord with neutrons escaping the reactor core and being absorbed by the coolant seawater (35)Cl to produce (35)S by a (n, p) reaction. Once produced, (35)S oxidizes to (35)SO(2) and (35)SO(2-)(4) and was then transported to Southern California due to the presence of strong prevailing westerly winds at this time.
Our model predicts that (35)SO(2-)(4), the concentration in the marine boundary layer at Fukushima, was approximately 2 × 10(5) atoms per m(3), which is approximately 365 times above expected natural concentrations. These measurements and model calculations imply that approximately 0.7% of the total radioactive sulfate present at the marine boundary layer at Fukushima reached Southern California as a result of the trans-Pacific transport.

Fukushima Fallout similar to Chernobyl
Evidence of the radioactive fallout in the center of Asia (Russia) following the Fukushima Nuclear Accident
http://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/citation/21745703/Evidence_of_the_radioactive_fallout_in_the_center_of_Asia_(Russia)_following_the_Fukushima_Nuclear_Accident
Abstract
It was recently reported that radioactive fallout due to the Fukushima Nuclear Accident was detected in environmental samples collected in the USA and Greece, which are very far away from Japan. In April-May 2011, fallout radionuclides ((134)Cs, (137)Cs, (131)I) released in the Fukushima Nuclear Accident were detected in environmental samples at the city of Krasnoyarsk (Russia), situated in the center of Asia. Similar maximum levels of (131)I and (137)Cs/(134)Cs and (131)I/(137)Cs ratios in water samples collected in Russia and Greece suggest the high-velocity movement of the radioactive contamination from the Fukushima Nuclear Accident and the global effects of this accident, similar to those caused by the Chernobyl accident.

Fukushima Fallout in Hanoi & Saigon (HCMC)
Atmospheric radionuclides from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear reactor accident observed in Vietnam
http://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/citation/22200554/Atmospheric_rad...
Abstract
Radionuclides from the reactor accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant were observed in the surface air at stations in Hanoi, Dalat, and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) in Vietnam, about 4500 km southwest of Japan, during the period from March 27 to April 22, 2011. The maximum activity concentrations in the air measured at those three sites were 193, 33, and 37 μBq m(-3) for (131)I, (13)(4)Cs, and (13)(7)Cs, respectively. Peaks of radionuclide concentrations in the air corresponded to arrival of the air mass from Fukushima to Vietnam after traveling for 8 d over the Pacific Ocean. Cesium-134 was detected with the (134)Cs/(137)Cs activity ratio of about 0.85 in line with observations made elsewhere. The (131)I/(137)Cs activity ratio was observed to decrease exponentially with time as expected from radioactive decay. The ratio at Dalat, where is 1500 m high, was higher than those at Hanoi and HCMC in low lands, indicating the relative enrichment of the iodine in comparison to cesium at high altitudes. The time-integrated surface air concentrations of the Fukushima-derived radionuclides in the Southeast Asia showed exponential decrease with distance from Fukushima.

Fukushima Fallout measurements in Chiba Metro Area
Radiation measurements in the Chiba Metropolitan Area and radiological aspects of fallout from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants accident.
http://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline/citation/22119284/Radiation_measu...
Abstract
Large amounts of radioactive substances were released into the environment from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plants in eastern Japan as a consequence of the great earthquake (M 9.0) and tsunami of 11 March 2011. Radioactive substances discharged into the atmosphere first reached the Chiba Metropolitan Area on 15 March. We collected daily samples of air, fallout deposition, and tap water starting directly after the incident and measured their radioactivity. During the first two months maximum daily concentrations of airborne radionuclides observed at the Japan Chemical Analysis Center in the Chiba Metropolitan Area were as follows: 4.7 × 10(1) Bq m(-3) of (131)I, 7.5 Bq m(-3) of (137)Cs, and 6.1 Bq m(-3) of (134)Cs. The ratio of gaseous iodine to total iodine ranged from 5.2 × 10(-1) to 7.1 × 10(-1). Observed deposition rate maxima were as follows: 1.7 × 10(4) Bq m(-2) d(-1) of (131)I, 2.9 × 10(3) Bq m(-2) d(-1) of (137)Cs, and 2.9 × 10(3) Bq m(-2) d(-1) of (134)Cs. The deposition velocities (ratio of deposition rate to concentration) of cesium radionuclides and (131)I were detectably different. Radioactivity in tap water caused by the accident was detected several days after detection of radioactivity in fallout in the area. Radiation doses were estimated from external radiation and internal radiation by inhalation and ingestion of tap water for people living outdoor in the Chiba Metropolitan Area following the Fukushima accident.

Abstract
We present measurement results of airborne fission products in Chapel Hill, NC, USA, from 62 d following the March 11, 2011, accident at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. Airborne particle samples were collected daily in air filters and radio-assayed with two high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. The fission products (131)I and (137)Cs were measured with maximum activity concentrations of 4.2 ± 0.6 mBq/m(3) and 0.42 ± 0.07 mBq/m(3) respectively. Additional activity from (131,132)I, (134,136,137)Cs and (132)Te were measured in the same air filters using a low-background HPGe detector at the Kimballton Underground Research Facility (KURF).

Fission Products in National Atmospheric Deposition Program

Fission Products in National Atmospheric Deposition Program—Wet Deposition Samples Prior to and Following the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant Incident, March 8–April 5, 2011
By Gregory A. Wetherbee, Timothy M. Debey, Mark A. Nilles, Christopher M.B. Lehmann, and David A. Gay, U.S. Department of the Interior, KEN SALAZAR, Secretary, U.S. Geological Survey, Marcia K. McNutt, Director, U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, Virginia: 2012
Abstract
Radioactive isotopes I-131, Cs-134, or Cs-137, products of uranium fission, were measured at approximately 20 percent of 167 sampled National Atmospheric Deposition Program monitoring sites in North America (primarily in the contiguous United States and Alaska) after the Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant incident on March 12, 2011. Samples from the National Atmospheric Deposition Program were analyzed for the period of March 8–April 5, 2011. Calculated 1- or 2-week radionuclide deposition fluxes at 35 sites from Alaska to Vermont ranged from 0.47 to 5,100 Becquerels per square meter during the sampling period of March 15–April 5, 2011. No fission-product isotopes were measured in National Atmospheric Deposition Program samples obtained during March 8–15, 2011, prior to the arrival of contaminated air in North America.
Fission products were detected in whole-water precipitation samples from 35 individual NADP sites (tables 1 and 2). Active NTN and MDN sites not listed in tables 1 and 2 did not collect sufficient sample volumes for analysis. Table 1 lists all 167 sampling sites and shows those for which no fission products were detected in whole-water wet-deposition samples. Table 2 provides a summary of the results for fission products detected in the NTN and MDN wet-deposition samples collected during March 15–April 5, 2011 from 35 individual NADP sites.
I-131 was quantified and adjusted for decay to the time of sample collection for five whole-water wet-deposition samples from California, Colorado, and Washington. The activities of the quantified I-131 ranged from 29.6 to 1,090 pCi/L, and calculated deposition values ranged from 211 to 5,100 Bq/m2. Several weeks transpired between sample collection and analysis of the I-131 in the water samples, which were prioritized for analysis from west (high priority) to east (low priority). Therefore, I-131 activities likely decayed in most of the samples before they could be measured.
Cs-134 activities were quantified for 23 samples from Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. The Cs-134 ranged from 0.40 to 55 pCi/L, and deposition values ranged from 0.47 to 180 Bq/m2. Cs-134 values reported for all but one site (CO90 near Nederland, Colo.) have substantial error because they were manually estimated from the gamma-ray spectra. Cs-137 activities were quantified for 33 samples from Alaska, California, Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnessota, Missouri, Montana, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. These samples ranged from 0.70 pCi/L to 39 pCi/L, and calculated deposition values ranged from 0.78 to 240 Bq/m2. Cs-134 and Cs-137 activities were not adjusted for decay to date of sample collection because radioactive decay during the 2-month period between collection and analysis was negligible for these isotopes.

We report results of air monitoring started due to the recent natural catastrophe on 11 March 2011 in Japan and the severe ensuing damage to the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear reactor complex. On 17–18 March 2011, we registered the first arrival of the airborne fission products 131I, 132I, 132Te, 134Cs, and 137Cs in Seattle, WA, USA, by identifying their characteristic gamma rays using a germanium detector. We measured the evolution of the activities over a period of 23 days at the end of which the activities had mostly fallen below our detection limit. The highest detected activity from radionuclides attached to particulate matter amounted to 4.4 ± 1.3 mBq m−3 of 131I on 19–20 March.
Figures and tables from this article:
Fig. 1. Comparison of the gamma spectra from the measurements of air filter PH1 (red, 16–17 March) and air filter PH2 (blue, 17–18 March) showing clearly the additional peaks due to the arrival of radioactive fission products at the US west coast. The dominant peak at 364 keV is from 131I. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
Fig. 2. Plot of the 5 strongest gamma lines of 131I, 132I, 132Te, 134Cs, and 137Cs for the air filter PH1 (red) and air filter PH4 (blue) measurements. The change in 214Biactivity is due to fluctuating radon levels during the time of measurement. (For interpretation of the references to colour in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
Fig. 3. Activities of the five fission isotopes 131I, 132I, 132Te, 134Cs, and 137Cs in air for the exposed air filters covering a period of 23 days. Results for 131I are scaled by a factor 1/3 in order to improve the visibility of the other radionuclides. The exact values can be found in Table 2. The errors show the statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature. Points are shown with small horizontal offsets to increase visibility.
Fig. 4. Ratio of the activities for the isotopes specified in the legend. The error band shows the statistical error only as the systematic errors cancel to a large degree in the ratios. The fits to the ratios as a function of time were performed with fixed decay time constants. For a discussion see text.

Table 2. Detected activities and upper limits for the measured radionuclides attached to particulate matter. The numbers are given in μBq per m3. The errors give the 1σ values for the systematic and statistical uncertainties (in that order). In case of upper limits we give the limit from statistics only at 95% C.L. and quote the influence of the systematic error separately at 1σ. The upper limits strongly depend on the fluctuations of background radiation at the time of counting.
SO???
There's really no informational content in the above; it is just a litany of papers published on the subject. So what do those papers say? What conclusions did they draw, and what evidence supports those conclusions.
I did note that one of the papers in the litany was the Mangano / Sherman paper.
That paper was discussed previously on this forum and is WIDELY DISCREDITED.
It was shown here, as in other scientific journals, and even some popular political journals; that Mangano / Sherman "cooked the books". They dishonestly "cherry picked" the stochastic data.
The death rates are stochastic; they randomly fluctuate since the deaths are random events. Mangano and Sherman "cherry picked" data before / after the Fukushima accident so that they could draw a conclusion that Fukushima was responsible for many deaths.
However, the conclusion is invalid; because they "cherry picked" data that supported their conclusion and threw away data that didn't support their conclusion.
If one is willing to stoop to that level of dishonesty; you can "prove" anything you want.
Rude Dog Bites
So sayth, barketh the sht-eating Rude Dog
270 scientific papers dissed in one stupid rant
Rude Dog is 100% TROLL and 100% unscientific dumbarse
And PROVES it with EVERY blog-post
Rude Dog is without doubt, the gawdamn GLOBAL village idiot
Mangano/Sherman = bad science
I am anti-nuke, and I have been here since near the beginning of the 3/11 fiasco, but I must chime in and note that Mangano and Sherman's work on post 3/11 mortality was crap.
BTW, I have read more than half of the listed papers...wasted days and wasted nights, lol....

Retrospective Studies
Retroactive Studies such as the Mangano and Sherman study have statistical validity, based upon the POWER of the study.
The preliminary release, of statistically significant death increases, for proposed investigation, WAS attacked without merit.
The first follow-on release, the ACTUAL STUDY, has sufficient statistical POWER to merit serious public health review.
The early attacks, on a proposed study, were asinine and scurilous, the continued attacks are utterly groundless.
IMHO
Unfortunately your opinion on
Unfortunately your opinion on this paper is, no matter how humble, worthless.
I reviewed their work and went back to the original source data. They used a downward fluctuation in the data just before fukushima to manufacture an effect. If you compare the death rate in their post-fukushima window to the same window in previous years there is no effect.
Nice list of papers. So what? What's the conclusion that we're supposed to draw? That a lot of people around the world measured the fallout from fukushima?

Fetal Demise due to Fukushima Fallout
Your Review is without merit. The Fukushima Radioactive Fallout DATA is accumulating.
Several Radioactive Hot Spots have been conclusively identified. These include Boise Idaho and Kansas, due to the vagaries of wind and rain. There are others.
The negative impact of 'Black Rain' on public health has been documented for decades. The Radioactive Hot Spots in the USA and elsewhere, will show a statistical SPIKE in all the radiogenic maladies, consistent with the dosage and elapsed time.
The miscarriages, infant mortality, cardiac events, thyroid disorders, leukemias and cancers will bloom. Lying and obfuscation are not going to 'cut the mustard' in the USA or elsewhere.
Perhaps we should pile a few thousand babydolls at the dump, to illustrate the impact on the USA Fetal Demise statistics.
EVIDENCE????
The above poster states
Your Review is without merit.
On a scientific forum, mere unsubstantiated pronouncements are worthless.
Do a search on this forum for the thread on the Mangano / Sherman paper.
Mangano / Sherman cited the death rates in two time windows before / after Fukushima. One window was 4 weeks and the other 10 weeks as I recall. Why the unequal windows?
They originally published their paper at counterpunch.com. The counterpunch statistician also wondered why the unequal windows. So he went back to the original data and found that if you use equal 10 week windows before / after Fukushima; there's no effect.
As stated above, Mangano / Sherman used a statistical fluctuation in the data to manufacture an effect. They had to use unequal time windows in order to manufacture their effect.
It was widely discredited on this forum.
Anyone who attempts to defend this discredited work is also discredited / dishonest. Please continue to defend Mangano / Sherman; because your credibility will go into the dumpster with theirs if you defend their proven dishonesty.
Evidence Will Continue to Accumulate
The EVIDENCE of Fukushima health effects in the USA is accumulating and will CONTINUE to accumulate for DECADES.
The pitiful ATTEMPTS to discredit one paper, and the tacit threat to ruin the reputations of HONEST scientists and exacting researchers; amount to ZIP.
Kiss my ruddy red
The DATA accumulates in the American Fallout hotspots 24/7/365.
The mournful threats and hollow denunciations of a DYING industry are not particularly impressive, In The Real World.

Luckily Mangano and Sherman
Luckily Mangano and Sherman have no reputations as scientists to ruin.
That one paper more than adequately demonstrates that they are not scientists.

The original discussion
The original discussion on this forum is at:
http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/node/4726
The original CounterPunch article discrediting Mangano / Sherman is at:
http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/06/17/definitely-bachmann-over-weiner/
One of the CounterPunch critics pointed out that using four weeks before and ten weeks afterwards “looked like cherry-picking the data.” To overcome this potential bias, Sprey collated the death numbers for the ten week period before, then did the calculations comparing infant deaths for ten weeks before and ten weeks afterwards for the same eight cities. His result was a statistically insignificant difference in deaths per week before and after? an increase of infant deaths of only 2.4 per cent. To further guard against the possibility of some seasonal effect due to comparing a period earlier in the spring with one later in the spring, Sprey also compared the ten weeks after Fukishima with the identical weeks in 2010. He found exactly the same result: a 2.4 per cent increase in infant deaths over the prior year which, given 128 deaths in the ten week sample, is entirely insignificant statistically.
Team Nuke Calumny
Team Nuke calumny is kinda running out of STEAM.
Calumny is NOT proof, evidence, data or science.
NPP cheerleading ... rings hollow.
Go Screw Yourself!
Tick Tock --- The Fukushima evidence accumulates.
Team Nuke successfully pulled this kind of crapola following TMI.

More High Standard Academic Discourse
In keeping with the high standards of an academic forum like this one; hosted by this emminent University; we again see the high standards of rhetoric maintained by the above poster.
In addition to the classic academic discourse of talking about "cancre pus" and "fleas", the above poster now treats us to a new high in academic rhetoric, the always popular, "Go Screw Yourself!".
Yes - with academic retorts such as "fleas", "cancre pus", and now "Go Screw Yourself!" we are really priveledged to see a truly intelligent and logical academic mind in operation.
Whiny & hypocritical
Do NOT 'SLAM' a credible retrospective study, and then WHINE when 'called-out'.
WE ALL have come to FULLY understand WHO the LIARS and FRAUDS are.
Team Nuke is, well somewhat inconsistent, in their standards for science, evidence, data, mathematics, models, accuracy, civility, decorum, comity ... and truth.
The standards of Team Nuke bring to recollection the actions of the Jesuits in many regards.
Viscious, pietistical, hypocritical, vain, contradictory, powerful, deadly and pretensious.
Team Nuke ... modern day Grand Inquisitors.
Birds of a feather, so to speak.
