What we found:
137-Cesium activity = 1.3 (+/- 0.1) Bq m-3 (Becquerel per meter cubed of seawater)
134-Cesium activity = Not Detected
Water Temperature = 10.5 C
The InFORM team collected a seawater sample in collaboration with citizen scientists in Victoria on Wednesday, Oct. 15 at the Ogden Point Breakwater (map shown below). The sample was processed and the amount of gamma emitting isotopes determined using a high purity germanium detector. We look primarily for radioisotopes of cesium (134-Cs half life ~2 years and 137-Cs half life ~ 30 years) for the following reasons: Continue reading First Seawater Monitoring Result From Victoria, BC: No Fukushima Contamination as of Oct. 15, 2014
