Well it’s on Top of the Drudge Report. What’s Mr. MIT expertise in since he is saying what you want to hear.

But of course, Matt Drudge is not offering expert authoritative advice either, he's also just reposting other anonymously written headlines in order to grab clicks.

"Radiation 'directly' into the atmosphere" meaning what?

If you posted a report that someone in Oregon was spewing water "directly into the air" with a water sprinkler, must I automatically assume it's a flood threat to Texas?

It means radioactive particles (alpha, beta, gamma emitters) have been released to the atmosphere. No one is suggesting people in Texas panic. But if I were in Japan I would take all necessary precautions for my family no matter what some MIT “academic” says. Everybody pings on the media, but “academics” aren’t much better..........OBAMA is an “academic” for Heavan’s sake.

My earlier post referred to "dozens" of atmospheric tests. The actual number is over 600 atmospheric tests. Each one giving off more radiation than this reactor will.

We're all going to die, this accident won't be the cause.
