Kelp may be all that is available (and it is going fast) for iodine
supplements to protect against radioactive iodine, which is supposed to
arrive here on the West Coast from Japan today. Most pharmacies here are
sold out of potassium iodide.
The most serious effects of radiation are to children, whose tissues
are still developing. Us geezers will die from something else, before we
can get cancer from the fall out.
Information and logic would seem to counsel us that the fall-out from
Japan will be light, but the drama in Fukushima isn't over yet. A larger
explosions, would send greater amounts of radiation.

This next is the referring page for the above, as I don't know if the
above link is a static link for only that time, or realtime
http://www.zamg.ac.at/aktuell/ My german is not so... 'tisn't hard to
figure out by clikking through.
Also http://www.radiationnetwork.com/ ...this site is great, imo,
another of the wonders of the intertubes and citizen activism (read
the message)...some monitors already in locations that just might
interest you, old feller.

Goodly, and timely little piece of research there. Thank you.
Probably nothing for most Americans or Canadians to worry about, but
some where, someone is going to pay, especially among those working on
stabilizing the Fukushima power plant, now.

I see that more monitors are coming online... damn good piece of work
by Tim. Europe has been added, though nothing showing from there yet.
If ya don't trust the TPTB, do it yerself!

Meant to add... google "potassium iodide saturated solution radiation
dosage drops" or such ....DIY for little cost.
Lugol's solution or DIY using crystaline KI, available from your
favorite aquarium supply house or chemical distributor.
Window of effectiveness is small and critical and remember that KI is
not effective against the other forms of long-lived radioactive
isotopes....cesium, etc.
Looks like I am going to have to stock up on my Tillamook cheddars
really soon....california, and west coast cow juice may begin to glow
in the near future.
