Soil layer update (10/18/2011)

10/18 (3:40pm): The final two layers of soil from Oakland have been tested, and the results are posted on the Food Chain page. As with all the layers but for the very top, Cesium-134 was not detected but Cesium-137 was detected. This Cs-137 is from atmospheric nuclear weapons testing fallout in the 1950s and early 1960s, not from Fukushima.

Perhaps. Some cesium from chernoble as well?

Yes, some Cs-137 is from Chernobyl

Yes, some Cs-137 is from Chernobyl. But the cesium that got to California after Chernobyl was less than the what was deposited from Fukushima. Thus the large majority of the Cs-137 in older soils in our area is from global weapons testing fallout.

So as far as cesium deposition for California Fukushima Daiichi has provided us with more than chernoble ever did.
