Oh my..this is not good. Even if they say "slightly radioactive".
That sounds like " a little bit pregnant". And not to worry...radioactive vapor will not effect the environment or humans ?
Like the BP spill didn't effect sea life in the Gulf ?
Japan to release of radioactive vapor at nuke pant - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110311/ap_on_bi_ge/as_japan_quake_power_plant - broken link)
"Japan's nuclear safety agency says pressure inside one of six boiling water reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant had risen to 1.5 times the level considered normal.
The agency said the radioactive element in the vapor that will be released would not affect the environment or human health."

Hmmmmm. I don't trust that statement either. But I'm not sure what other alternative there is. There is a high risk of it exploding, isn't there? I heard that the U.S. is sending some type of cooling mechanism help but not sure that will do it or arrive in time?

Then I have bad news for you:
YOU are radioactive.
I hope you are not also pregnant.

Since the environment is already naturally radioactive (I was gonna say "slightly radioactive" but you seem to dislike the term) what effects do you have in mind?

There is background cosmic radiation, and radiation emanating from the earth. And radiation exposure from medical studies is on average 2x more than the natural radiation. It is conceivable that the amount of radioactive vapors may get dispersed and mean nothing. Hope they are able to contain it.

Very sad situation in Japan. I hope and pray that this horror can end as soon as possible. I can't Imagine the trauma the Japanese people are going through right now.
