As Fukushima fallout circles the globe, nuclear sleuths sift it for clues

As #Fukushima #fallout circles the globe, nuclear sleuths sift it for clues - The Washington Post:

"Fallout from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has landed on 30 exquisitely sensitive detectors on desolate Arctic islands, on the tops of tall buildings and in other windy locales across the Northern Hemisphere, according to the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, which maintains those sensors. Sniffing the air like silent sentinels, the 63 shack-like stations (with 17 more planned) are capturing tiny radioactive particles in filters much like those on a home furnace."
