Once the fuel rods that contain radioactive Plutonium and Uranium begin to melt within the inner six-inch thick stainless steel vessel, tremendous amounts of nuclear material are released into the air surrounding the nuclear plant. This graph indicates that any air over Japan will come to the United States within days. It is for certain that nuclear monitoring stations on the west coast of the United States will be closely monitoring the atmosphere for any nuclear particles.
Unbelievable Japan built a power station so close to a volcano and a fault line. Its a miracle that this did not happen years ago or was not any worse. Its time to lok at alternative energy sources. Cleaner and safer before we all go up in a puff of smoke
Contains graphics and photos of human body - which places get affected by radiation, and a chart of exposure in mSv. Before and After affects on radiation from the nuclear powerplant.
