TEPCO – the owners of the Fukushima plant – announced this week that radioactive fallout from reactor 1 is higher this month than it was last month – indicating the situation may once again be getting worse.  In December – 60 Becquerels of radioactive fallout was measured around the reactor – but this month 70 Becquerels was recorded.  Nearly ten months since an earthquake and tsunami triggered a nuclear crisis at the Fukushima plant in Japan – the situation is still volatile.  The ongoing nuclear crisis sends a strong message to the United States – and our lawmakers including President Obama – who are committed to more nuclear power in America.  We can’t risk it – no more nukes!

speaking of this thom, i

speaking of this thom, i really think it is important for all of us to start monitoring our food. for instance my one year old son was introduced to dried seaweed today and LOVES it. i want to provide the great nutrients it offers but am worried about the potential of radiation from fukushima.  i know you have a radiation reader and wondered if you would mind telling me what kind. i want to get one but i don't know enough about them to be sure i am getting an accurate one.
