with a four billion year half-life, there's still time to evacuate! the basic common sense rule of radiation protection is; time, distance and shielding. let's see, the accident happend a little over one year ago and the poisen will be here for another four billion years,,,four billion minus one= three billion nine hundred and ninety nine million, nine hundred and ninety nine. start packing! and of course this doesn't include any more surprises from four huge leaking unstabel demolished reactors in the most earthquake/tidal wave prone area in the whole world.
