So it didn't scatter any fallout? No radioactive dust of any kind? What about all of the other above ground testing that occurred in the 40's and 50's? Come on man! This is alrmist and you know it! I guess we'll see here in a few months when nobody dies. lol!
i'm not worried about a nuclear fallout killing everybody.What are you talking about? Nuclear fuel used in a hydrogen bomb, or nuclear fuel rods used in electrical power reactors? Look, it is scary shit, but this crap about everybody in the western third of the U.S. receiving irradiated fallout significant enough to cause death is not very likely at all. A nuclear explosion, like in an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb is completely different than the fission chain reaction that happens in a reactor, as is the actual fuel itself. It's virtually impossible for nulcear fuel rods to go critical in a meltdown. You cannot have a nuclear explosion as a result of this, therefore you won't have tons of debris sucked up and scattered like you would in a thermonuclear explosion. There will be and has been a lot of radiation localized. Some irradiated particulate and dust (this is essentially fallout) will get blown around and will make it to North America, but it will be dilluted by then and shouldn't be significant to cause health issues. Again, nobody really knows what the longterm consequences could be and that is the really scary part IMO.
Who is saying nothing is wrong??????????
I know all too well about radioactive decay and understand the long half life that some radioactive isotopes have. Yes, this is going to have an effect on the planet. Is it going to kill us all? No. That's all anybody is saying. Nobody is disputing your premise that there is something wrong here. Again, what do we do about it? It's a done deal man! It's too late to unring that bell my friend! I'd like to hear your plan for dealing with this stuff.
nothing's wrong. everything's gonna be alright..........
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa??
We have no choice but to hope for the best.. I believe the kinds of damage to people will be related to radiation such as Cancer.So it didn't scatter any fallout? No radioactive dust of any kind?

The fuel used in reactor number 3 is MOX (mixed oxide) which is a mixture of plutonium and uranium. Plutonium is nasty stuff which doesn't exist in nature, and there may be some in any cloud which may be released from reactor 3. I am unaware of any reports of Plutonium being discovered in the atmosphere. They started using MOX back in September and are 1 of only 3 plants in Japan to use this fuel. The radiation levels are rising and this is not over by a long shot. There are a few things that can be done to help prevent problems. They are telling the people near the plant who cannot be evacuated to seal themselves in their houses as a precaution. This disaster has already exceeded 3 mile island in scope and severity, but is nowhere near the severity of Chernoby. That may change though.

Still waiting on that plan of yours............
Dude is your mouth permanently attached to the US Governments shaft or what? You basically just said that anything that isn't officially sanctioned by US Government is a total and deliberate attempt to deceive. YOU. DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. A. HOAX. IS.
And you sir, are a complete moron.
Here in the states??
World wide- but yeah in Hawai and on the west coast it's sold out....
