Scientific paper

We have observed fallout from the recent Fukushima Dai-ichi reactor accident
in samples of rainwater collected in the San Francisco Bay area. Gamma ray
spectra measured from these samples show clear evidence of fission products -
131,132I, 132Te, and 134,137Cs. The activity levels we have measured for these
isotopes are very low and pose no health risk to the public.
