U.S. coasts reveals Fukushima radiation arrival
Scientists at the San Diego campus of the University of California discovered radioactive sulfur from Japanese nuclear plant in Fukushima Daiichi in the U.S. west coast, without posing a threat. The team found an observatory near San Diego adjacent to two kinds of sulfur oxide, and both were considered radioactive sulfur 35, said Tuesday a dispatch from Kyodo.

Traces of radioactive substances as iodine, it is believed they came to various parts of the United States from Japanese nuclear plant problems.
