		<description>I read the whole article. Ron Wyden has a B.A. and a J.D. Tell me which one of those degrees lends him the expertise to evaluate structural integrity, the risk of radiation, or seismological risk assessment.

Can you provide a link to a source citing dangerous levels of radiation reaching the west coast of North America?</description>

		<description>Did you read the entire article? That was contingent on only 1 of the 1565 control rods going nova. Just one.

Consider this: detection of radioactive isotopes is spiking on the west coast of North America. Specifically in the Baja Peninsula, California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. A large amount of North America&#039;s produce currently comes from that region, and radioactive fallout from Fukushima has been found in North America&#039;s food chain, particularly in dairy, seafood and produce. I live in Ontario and a good portion of the produce I buy is from both California and Canada&#039;s west coast and I wager that a good deal of what you eat comes from that region as well.

I would call that I fairly effective and efficient distrubution system. And the fact of the matter is that it doesn&#039;t have to be particularly efficient because at the genetic level you don&#039;t really need a lot of radioactive damage in order for it to wreak havoc on the host organism.

Now also consider the sentaor&#039;s assessment that the situation is worse than the Japanese government is letting on (Which in all likelyhood is the case; if you were the Japanese Prime Minister, would you be telling the world the honest truth of what the sate of it really is? I don&#039;t think so.). Whatever the situation really is, his statement that even &quot;a very small earthquake could level the building&quot; is likely bang on the money.

What, praytell, is misleading about it? And to be honest, wouldn&#039;t you suppose that a large-scale nuclear disaster is something about which we are to be alarmed?</description>

		<description>I read that article. The 2.89 billion deaths would be the result of distributing the minimum lethal dosage perfectly efficiently to 2.89 billion people. It is an alarmist and wildly misleading statement.</description>

		<description>Here is a link an article from Natural News which speaks about Oregon Senator Ron Wyden&#039;s visit to the area. Just one of Fukushima&#039;s over 1565 fuel rods has the potential to kill nearly 3 billion people if it explodes.

 http://www.naturalnews.com/035731_Fukushima_radiation_America.html

Small wonder that &quot;many people are extremely distrustful extremely distrustful of official estimates claiming that there is little risk&quot;.

And rather than disseminating truth about the situation, Discover Magazine adds its voice to assist in the cover-up.

Shame on all of you.</description>

		<description>Apparently, no one at Discover even did the slightest bit of research about this.

If you go to the EPA&#039;s webpage regarding exposure pathways of radiation and it&#039;s effects, it says clearly that inhaled and ingested &quot;Alpha and beta particles can transfer large amounts of energy to surrounding tissue, damaging DNA or other cellular material. This damage can eventually lead to cancer or other diseases and mutations.&quot;

Obviously the writers and editor of Discover believe that we&#039;re all fools and idiots and that no one remembers the horrors of the aftermath of Chernobyl. The Fukushima disaster is orders of magnitude worse.

Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control again. Here, here&#039;s American Gladiator. Shut up.

Nice job, Discover. I&#039;m canceling my subscription because of your lack of journalistic and scientific integrity.</description>

		<description>For the true story of what&#039;s going on, I use Arnie Gunderson&#039;s Fairewinds.com  He tells it like it is and it&#039;s far uglier than our &quot;leaders&quot; are letting on, all to protect us, of course.</description>

		<description>Hey!  Spend the $$$ to help the people who were treated to nuclear fallout instead of publishing crappy &quot;news&quot; releases!  And, I live on the coast of California--when do I get my PTSD questionnaire?

Discover Mag:  you need to do some due diligence before you headline articles aimed at those who UNSCEAR, WHO, etc think are the stupid masses.</description>
