Accurate information is missing about ionizing radiation in Washington state.

Accurate information is missing about ionizing radiation in Washington state.

The othe day I read: University of California (Nuclear Engineering Department) at Berkeley Campus finds significant levels of radioactive iodine from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe in San Francisco Bay rainwater, tap water and milk (http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/node/2278).

I do not think we are being told the truth in Washington state about the level of ionizing radiation affecting our surface water supplies and food. We do have a right to accurate information.

Please do all you can to accurately report what is happening.
