Not trying to sound paranoid, but just because the nightly news tells you everything is ok, does not make it so.

Quite the opposite. The nightly news is clueless. Their constant spewing of misinformation is only causing people more worry than necessary. Are you aware that you receive 3.6 millisieverts every year from the sun, rocks, and soil around you? My God! How frightening. Seriously, instead of taking precautions go read a book on nuclear physics.

It's just sad how many people (like my dad) are freaking out and going to buy KI pills. Seriously, what the f*ck? Stupid sensationalist propaganda bullsh*t.

I work less than 50m away from a nice big radar spitting out radiation for 9 hours a day. I've been doing it the past 8 years. And when I was deployed, 24/7. So yeah, I'm not too worried about Japans ractors harming me any more than what I've already absorbed.

I have worked, and will work again near radar nose cones of varies aircraft on and off, and will probably only reproduce girls...

plus the nukes here don't help either Lulz

KI pills do limit the uptake of radioactive iodine in the thyroid glands. BUT the adverse effects of KI pills mean they should only be taken if there is a serious risk of high dose. And it's even worse for older people.
