Yanno Watchman, I have MS and am very alergic to iodine, can't eat seafood anymore
I wonder why? maybe it's from 2nd hand smoke?
years ago, I read an article that blacktop was the worse thing you can walk your dog on...because of the toxic chemicals...you walk them, they come in and lick they're feet....plus the dies they put in mulch...so we can have nice gardens...they are extremely toxic....

to be quit honest with you, it's been in the milk and our food sources for a long long time....due to the bomb tested they experimented with many years ago...right here in the good ol USA....plus the Chernobyl accident...
I don't know what or why the Japanese are fooling around for, and why they don't start pouring concrete on those 4 reactors...like Russia did....
we learned that in junior high school...and I'm pretty old...
Really? So it's not safe for you to have the sun shine on you for one millisecond? How about that radiation being emitted by your son/daughter/dog/cat/mother? You do realize that any object that has a temperature greater than absolute zero emits radiation, right?
But hey, if you're that concerned, please turn off your computer/laptop/smartphone and stop posting here. You're being exposed to radiation from those devices. In fact, turn off your lights too.
oh and you forgot electric power lines....
and tires...
funny, but now, when a road is dug up, the EPA comes in and designates a dump site for that old blacktop??????...I find that quit funny, with all the thousands of miles of roads in our country? kinda lacks common sense?
“These types of findings are to be expected in the coming days and are far below levels of public health concern, including for infants and children," the press statement said. "Iodine-131 has a very short half-life of approximately eight days, and the level detected in milk and milk products is therefore expected to drop relatively quickly.”
They say there's no health threat because it's a very low amount.
Think about all the nuclear tests we performed right here in the U.S. back in the late 30's early 40's.
I would, but the US never conducted in nuclear tests in the "late 30's early 40's."
Those test were conducted from 1945 to the early 1960s.
Even so, there is no relation between them and what is happening in Japan.
You would expect to see Strontium-90 from the detonation of nuclear weapon, but you wouldn't see it from a reactor melt-down. You'd see Strontium-94 instead. And the difference? Strontium-94 has a half-life of about 1 minute, Strontium-90 about 30 years or so.
And the reason is because the fission reactions in a nuclear reactor are moderated, and those in nuclear weapon are not (obviously), that's why reactors produce Strontium-94 and not Strontium-90.
Actually, I think it's a waste of time. You people are so ignorant you don't even know what you're afraid of.
All of your food has radiation in it. Carbon-14 (just to name one of many). It just can't be helped. If you want to live on this planet, you're going to have to eat and breath radioactive Carbon-14.

well then, I stand corrected, you are right, about the dates...
and you had me until this....
"Actually, I think it's a waste of time. You people are so ignorant you don't even know what you're afraid of."
How extremely hateful and rude...
your name, Mercia, reminds me of one word...mercy...
Problem is, even if it were a problem there isn't a damned thing you can do about it. Well, unless you're superman and can go to the Pacific coast and blow real hard.
