Entering the Twilight Zone

Ok, I think I have just entered the Twilight Zone.  It is currently April 20th, 2012.  It's been a year since the Meltdowns of multiple reactors at Fukushima and I must say that they were right, there is NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.  Whew, what a relief.  I was sure that when the media stopped talking about the radiation levels and the EPA stopped taking measurements of the rain-water, milk, air and surface water, I was sure that everything was just fine.  After all, our leaders would not just hang us out to dry if there were really any danger now would they.  Look at a Geiger counter if you want confirmation of things being back to "normal".  Radiation levels are low again, no worries then, Right?

 

Well I guess that depends on whether or not you agree with the statement "ignorance is bliss", or not.  If you do, then it's right as rain.  It's a beautiful day.  The sun is shining and the birds are singing.  Oh, and there is no IMMEDIATE danger to human health from ionizing radiation. 

On the other hand, if you don't happen to be a believer in that whole ignorance thing then you best just love your family and do some digging for the truth.  Excuse me, I meant the WHOLE TRUTH.  The information required to make intelligent decisions and plans for the future is available, if you look hard enough.  A good place to start is NAP (National Academies Press)

If the research is too much for you then I suggest you take your family on a picnic and enjoy the beautiful weather, don't worry, be happy. 

And above all, remember;

There is NO IMMEDIATE danger.

PS look up iodine-129
