VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 29 (UPI) -- Radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear reactors is showing up on Canada's west coast, but isn't hazardous to humans, researchers at Simon Fraser University say.
Nearly three weeks after the March 11 magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami battered Japan and the six-reactor nuclear plant in Fukushima, researchers in Vancouver say the jet stream has carried radioactive iodine-131 to British Columbia, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
