so my students were saying that a new radiation scatter pattern was discovered, which follows along a lesser known wind pattern that makes a small clockwise circle from japan->chinese shores encompassing shanghai->then finally back to *gasp* seoul...

i'm wondering if there's any english written source for this info, or i should just shrug it off as another conspiracy theory, as i hope.

they also said that an ocean current was also discovered that trails the same path as this wind pattern and that the radiation is spreading very much the same way along it. anybody have any thoughts on this?

There is so little radiation that even the amount released at the plant was less than two xrays. AT THE PLANT ITSELF.

The amount of radiation workers at the plant initially got was about 2 green squares on this chart:

That said, there is nothing to worry about. Stop listening to fools.

are you sure? what about the countless news articles saying that the sea around the plant has 3000 times the government allowed limit? or the two workers dying from 'exhaustion'? there's no doubt to me that an unspeakable amount of radiation has been released from the plants. the question is where and how it has dissipated. if mostly through the sea, i can forgo sushi for several months. but can't really do the same with air if all that fallout was in the atmosphere.. Sad

Really, you're in 'no doubt'? And there is no such thing as an 'unspeakable' amount of radiation, it's a completely measurable phenomenon and we have a pretty good idea what amounts are harmful and what are less harmful/not harmful at all.

unspeakable so far, unless you alone have accurately measured how much has already leaked out. and because any amount greater than none is horrific in my book. and yes, i have no doubt about the accident as much as my media saturated reality permits. was that term so inappropriate?
