PORTLAND (AP) — A Seattle energy consultant accused of forgery in con- nection with a major Oregon solar power project is seeking to have the charges dismissed on grounds of prosecutorial misconduct. Martin Shain was the lead consultant on Oregon’s $24 million “Solar by Degree” project. Prosecutors say he created a fake invoice from a fictional subcontractor to help secure nearly $12 million in tax credits from the Oregon Department of Energy. The Oregonian reports that last year, investigators per- suaded a witness in the case to make a secretly recorded call to Shain in hopes of get- ting him to incriminate him- self. Shain didn’t incriminate himself, and in a motion filed last week his lawyer argues that the call constituted pros- ecutorial misconduct — an attempt to question him with- out counsel. Fukushima radiation detected on Oregon shores SALEM (AP) — Researchers say seawa- ter samples taken from Tillamook Bay and Gold Beach indicate radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster, but at extremely low levels not harmful to humans or the environment. Citing the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, the Statesman Journal news- paper reports the samples were taken last winter and later analyzed. Massive amounts of con- taminated water were released from the crippled nuclear plant following a 9.0 magni- tude earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Woods Hole chemical oceanographer Ken Buesseler runs a crowdfunded, citizen- science seawater sampling project that has tracked the radiation plume as it makes its way across the Pacific Ocean.
