Fukushima Four Years Later

Public Events Featuring WHOI's Ken Buesseler

On the West Coast
March 9, 11 & 12, 2015

Four years after the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident in Japan, the country is still recovering and rebuilding from the disaster.
In 2014, WHOI marine chemist Ken Buesseler launched the
Institution's first-ever crowdsourcing campaign, Our Radioactive Ocean, to monitor radioactivity as it made its way across the
Pacific Ocean toward the United States. In November, he detected the first traces of radioactive material 100 miles west of Eureka, California, with the help of citizen scientists.
