Reply #80: Radiation in California?

[divvy]

Detected radiation in California? EPA says no... others say yes. Doesn't matter. I am sure that at some point the radiation will be detectable almost everywhere. It will be in tiny concentration due to the natural dilution in the atmosphere. Nuke bomb testing was detectable, too. Yes, there should be monitoring, but don't panic. I believe what Obama said in his speech yesterday... I am glad they thought to look at protectorate islands in the pacific ocean. If the situation changes due to a large scale explosion, there would be days of warning for a release to reach the states.. and sheltering would be the worst case protective action... and as I said, that isn't very likely. Nothing is impossible, though. You could get hit crossing the street, too. I would think that there is much better things to worry about.
