Default thanks for posting news link

Don't think we're getting all the info about contamination in the Bay Area. If trace amounts of some radioactive material, what about plutonium molecules which are dangerous in any amount.

"Thousands of times less than what we see every day in the environment,"

"A person would have to drink 500 liters of creek water to equal the radiation exposure of one, round trip cross country airline journey."

I'm freakin' terrified.

I saw something a few weeks ago about radiation found in some food in Japan. They said if you ate that food every day for a year you would absorb less radiation than a single CAT scan.
