Radiation Risks

This is an informative article for anyone wanting to know more about the radiation risks coming from the Fukushima plant. The Japanese have evacuated people within 20 km and have advised people to stay inside up to 30 km. The US in "an abundance of precaution" have advised evacuation of US citizens within 80 km. We are over 300 km from the plants and should be way out of harms way should the worst happen. I hope this article will help put some of the risk into perspective. It is helpful for me to get facts and information without all the hype that is designed to increase ratings.

How Far from Fukushima Will Fallout Pose a Health Risk?

Amid conflicting evacuation recommendations, radiation experts say that exposures to date have been relatively low outside the power plant and that people in the U.S. will not face any danger.
