Radiation Dispersal Update

Canadian detectors will track radioactive particles from Japan
"A forecast from a United Nations agency suggests super sensitive detectors on the West Coast of Canada and the U.S. may soon be picking up radioactive particles from Japan's crippled nuclear reactors.

Experts say the amounts will be so minuscule they'd pose no health risk, but the monitors could help show how the radiation disperses around the planet in coming days and weeks.

Maps generated by a UN agency that monitors for clandestine nuclear tests show the plume of radiation wafting across the Pacific, hitting the Aleutian Islands before sweeping down toward the West Coast by the weekend."
Can we please stop the hysteria now?
