If you think we're at risk then how come the whole of Asia isn't in a panic?
The SAD facts are that here in Japan 99% of the news media INTENTIONALLY play down how serious Fukushima is. Has NHK and the other TV news stations in Japan reported the jump in thyroid cancers in children in Fukushima Prefecture from like one a year before the tsunami to about 15 to 50 per year now? Answer: No.
Very quietly America has "raised" the allowable radiation in fish caught for sale in America. Headline news story? Answer: No.
Therefore: "No panic."
