South Korea is unlikely to be affected by a radiation leakage from quake-damaged Japanese nuclear power plant, the foreign ministry said here on Monday.

That was dated 16:36, March 14 2011 before the explosion of reactor #4. And in view of the denial of authorities in Japan to release timely information I would not put too much faith in Korean Government Agencies either.

so far the winds are blowing in the opposite direction (away from Korea)

so far so good.

But seafood will get tainted

So next time someone scares you about radiation, remember that you are exposed to it all the time without harm, and some people even want more of it.

MOD EDIT

Greg Palast, a frm regulatory watchdog for the nuclear reactor industry is saying (gregpalast.com) that major radiation is spewing from the damaged reactors in japan. He states that the Japanes gov should be giving out iodine pills to the japanese citizenry - but is dangerous in failing to do so i a vain attempt to squash fear, bad image, etc.

The Korean media has signalled its first complicit remark by stating "the wind blows away from the japanese coast",away from japan and korea".(paraphrase)

In any event, a discussion needs to be furthered about taking iodine tablets. I am near busan and will start to aquire some as the cost benefit analysis dictates that, if I am overreacting - $30 or so will be lost getting tabs.

CNN lovers don't need to reply. We know you don't think even the japanese need iodine pills!!
