Radioactive iodine—
Anyone know if this kind of nuclear reactor would be releasing I-131? I have KI at home and so do others

“Historically, I-131 releases have occurred most frequently after incidents involving nuclear reactors (e.g., Chernobyl).”

See U.S. NRC Frequently Asked Questions About Potassium Iodide for info on K1.

If those fuel rods go all melty and start a fire that destroys the site we’ll need more than potassium iodide.

Who needs a killer asteroid with what is currently going on? I keep wondering if this could be it for a big chunk of human life. A cloud of radioactive particles coming out of Japan would be all over the Left Coast in a week or two I figure. I’m no physicist or weatherliar but I think this threat is worth being worried about.

FEMA will become a bigger nightmare than Obama and TSA if the worst happens. I wonder what the protocols will be in that scenario?
