Japan Radiation - No news is good news?

[Four Litre]

As with every news story the main event has unfolded and the crowds (media) have moved on. Whats the PH consensus on the fallout of radiation that has been traced all over the US and further afield. Has it all been played down and is it seriously a non story now? Apart from the severe local problems to Fukushima?

Dont want to get back into the whole "Is nuclear energy safe" etc just if were going to be seeing 3 legged fish in the next few years!!!

The US has been exposed to more radioactive fallout from all the nuclear testing over the years.
I think any radiation picked up from japan would be extremely small.

This is the per capita Thyroid exposure routes from all atmospheric nuclear tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site from 1951-1962.
