You can't seriously be quoting infowars can you? Those guys are pathological liars. Worse than anything in the media.

In short, the Fukushima Daiichi plant contains over 600,000 spent fuel rods

By the way, radiation in California by Friday.

The radiation from these plants will be negligible by the time it reaches the US, if it reaches the US. This is a very serious situation for Japan, but try to get a grip on reality.

Math is right on and others are finally starting to report this.Quote from piezoe:
The 600,000 number is obviously a misprint. Each fueling last about 5 to 6 years depending on burn-up. These plants are maybe 40 years old at max. You do the math.
BTW, multi-week release of radioactive material of several types as a result of both active and stored fuel rods WILL have particulate matter here in US (sad to say).
Are you high on potassium iodide?
That has got to be the dumbest post of the day....do you have anything to contribute at all???Quote from athlonmank8:

Now back to REALITY!!! :eek:
"The Japanese government's radiation report for the country's 47 prefectures Wednesday had a notable omission: Fukushima, ground zero in Japan's nuclear crisis. Measurements from Ibaraki, just south of Fukushima, were also blanked out."

Scientists Project Path of Radiation Plume

Published: March 16, 2011
A United Nations forecast of the possible movement of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors shows it churning across the Pacific, and touching the Aleutian Islands on Thursday before hitting Southern California late Friday.

U.S. Officials Alarmed By Japanese Handling of Nuclear Crisis
U.S. Officials Fear Fukushima Could Become 'Deadly For Decades'

U.S. officials are alarmed at how the Japanese are handling the escalating nuclear reactor crisis and fear that if they do not get control of the plants within the next 24 to 48 hours they could have a situation that will be "deadly for decades."
"It would be hard to describe how alarming this is right now," one U.S. official told ABC News.
President Obama has been briefed by nuclear experts (...and now out shooting hoops!).
The Japanese have evacuated most of the reactor personnel from the Fukushima nuclear complex and are rotating teams of 50 workers through the facility in an attempt to cool it down.
"We are all-out urging the Japanese to get more people back in there to do emergency operation there, that the next 24 to 48 hours are critical," the official said. "Urgent efforts are needed on the part of the Japanese to restore emergency operations to cool" down the reactors' rods before they trigger a meltdown.
