Oh jeez,
There's a photo of some people looking worried. Maybe they were told their overtime pay was being withheld or their horse didn't win the Japanese Grand National.
Can I just remind people of something I've said here before. The island is full of scientific types, many work at the summit of Mauna Kea and understand the physics of radiation, it's pretty basic stuff in all the courses they would have done as undergraduates and post-graduates.
When you see those people leaving the island in a hurry *then* you should be worried. In the meantime they are happy to remain living here. None of them are worried about radiation from Japan being a problem here.
Of course you are free to worry about it yourself but showing pictures of some people in suits looking worried is about the most pathetic attempt of scare-mongering I have seen in quite a while. If that's the level of evidence you need then I feel sorry for you, but why not just leave the islands yourself and then tell us what fools we were when we're all dying of radiation poisoning. In the meantime the rest of us will just get on with life.
