This site (http://enenews.com)was posted in Zero Hedge. It seems to be one of the few places reporting regularly on radiation found in North America from Fukushima:
Canada: Local official advising residents not to drink rainwater after tests find increasing radioactivity — Under pressure from Gov’t to stop testing (http://enenews.com/canada-local-official-advising-residents-not-to-drink-rainwater-after-tests-find-increasing-radioactivity-govt-pressuring-him-to-stop-testing)
Cesium-134 and 137 found in US food supply; Organic milk bought in San Francisco Bay Area (http://enenews.com/cesium-134-and-137-found-in-organic-milk-near-san-francisco-first-time-radioactive-cesium-found-in-us-milk-supply)
This comment to the above article gave me a good laugh:
"the federal safe standard for drinking water is 3 picocuries per liter, there are ~27 picocuries in a bequerel. their results show that the contamination levels of radioactive iodine and cesium are beyond the federal “safe” standard. their absurd comparison to the background radiation you’d get on a flight is as insulting as it is ludicrous. when tasked with discovering whether there are too many toxic glowing turds in the punchbowl, they report back that there are indeed too many, but the smell from them is not as bad as the catbox on a warm day. they should stop embarrassing themselves and their university with their failboat attempts at social engineering and just stick to reporting the numbers."
