Radiation from Japan Could Hit U.S. by Friday
A dire prediction -- the radiation from the crippled Japanese nuclear power plant could hit the United States by Friday. However, experts say there is nothing to fear.
The United Nations Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization predicts the toxic cloud will reach Southern California, then eventually push into Nevada, Arizona and Utah, according to London's Daily Mail, quoting a report in The New York Times.
In issuing its frightening claim, the group did not say how much radiation will be in that cloud. However, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said over the weekend that it does not expect any harmful radiation to reach the country.
It said given the thousands of miles over the Pacific that the cloud must travel, most of the radiation will have dissipated by the time it gets here. The NRC points out that is exactly what happened during the Chernobyl disaster 26 years ago.
But people panic just at the hint that radiation could be on the way. For example, there has been a run on anti-radiation pills in the U.S. They are selling out at pharmacies all over the country.

We have a veritable plethora of scientists and engineers in the field of nuclear energy / science . What is the consensus regarding the radiation being CONSTANTLY emitted from the japanese plant? 3 reactors are spewing and going to melt down - whenver you get someone spraying a reactor with firehoses, you know it's a LAST GASP effort. So, if the radioactive "cloud" is up in the atmosphere we know it will hit hte west coast. Question: how much radiation? Who is tracking it? We have military and N.E.S.T. teams/planes/aircraft capable of measuring the radiation and tracking it's focal points. What are they reading? We deserve to know. saying "we don't expect" harmful amounts is tantamount to admission that radiation above 'normal' levels will hit. So, let us each make informed decisions. Someone knows, let's get the info out there IN DETAIL without sensational headlines , please
I guess you live on the West Coast because you certainly aren't concerned about the tragedy that's taking place in Japan or the effect of the earthquake and the tsunami on those people and their nation.
