"Government health officials say there is no reason for alarm."

That is very reassuring.

Idaho...Potatoes....Don’t eat the chips!!!

[dragnet2]

We get a ours from a local source. Thanks!

Well since idaho has been a uranium producing state and is surrounded on all sides by uranium producing states...stands to reason it tests for uranium

But the planet does have a fever and carbon trading is already enacted and we must save the planet (tax America), and it must happen now ... no ... yesterday.

Glowing green is just so ... conspiritorial, like birthers and tea partyers and conservatives and ...

and the rain goes into the soil, and the grass grows in the spring, and the cows eat the grass, and then—the cow’s milk is radioactive!

Best to get your milk from local dairies where no radiation has been detected. Call your state DER to get latest stats.

Hormesis anyone?

Well, the EPA labels raw milk ‘toxic’, now they have a reason.

Nuclear cheese!

Air quality managers on radiation in Idaho say: Don't worry about it

BOISE, Idaho - Radiation leaking from the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan is turning up in Idaho.

We know this because a very specific nuclear particle called Iodine-131 has made its way to Idaho Falls and Spokane.

Don't worry about it...lol

[familyop]

The piece got our attention, then, “But public health officials say there is no reason for alarm.” Iodine-131 decays out pretty fast. We’ll see real exposures after our big default, when Iran and her Islamist friends launch on us, followed by China and Russia.

What if known scientific reality also says there is no reason for alarm?

From the article:

Rainfall in Boise on March 22 contained 242 picocuries per liter of iodine-131, a radioactive isotope of iodine resulting from nuclear fission.

I’m still waiting for dispersant death from the gulf.

How does the EPA “allow” a certain radiation level in rain?

[ColdOne]

Rainfall that fell on the city of Boise two weeks ago registered the highest levels of radioactive contamination in the United States from the ongoing nuclear-power-plant crisis in Japan. But public health officials say there is no reason for alarm. Then why say anything???
