Nuclear radiation

[Kris Cho]

Nuclear Radiation from Japan is now here. Is it not so serious that we don't have to be careful, and go autoxing?

[Steve Ekstrand]

Might as well die happy. Besides, the gamma rays make the tires stickier.

Um, says who?

This is a pretty reliable source for what's going on in Japan.

http://www.mitnse.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has good analysis and explanation targeted to people who are not nuclear reactor engineers.

I saw a reference to a group that has made data from an array of radiation sensors throughout California freely available over the web, but I have not sought it out because I don't expect anything significant based on those other sources. If you're worried, you can look into that.
