i do agree much of the hoopla regarding Japan's radiation contamination is VASTLY exploited by the "disaster" websites & news channels of the world. but as an engineer/physicist studying & working with radiation for years when i was younger, i also think it may be somewhat more of a future hazard all around Pacific ocean, than many are willing to acknowledge.

you are all fine now. hopefully it stays that way in future years.
radiation exposure is at times, not an immediately damaging problem.

radiation is a very resilient contamination, and a very destructive item to humans & human tissue & cells.

if present, it is typically much worse than ANYTHING many of us did to ourselves with drugs/alcohol/partying in our younger days.
