There is, obviously, a certain level of radiation everywhere on earth. While I do see that the Pacific currents flow straight east from Japan, it is beyond comprehension to think that radioactive water from Japan, mixing into the vast ocean, could be a health hazard on the US west coast. While I am much closer to Japan, I see no concern here. Maybe someone on here can explain.
Yes, I think I can explain. The vast majority of people and the media are completely ignorant about the hazards of radioactive material, chemicals, and nuclear power in general.
Back around 1958, there was found the bomber LADY BE GOOD in the Lybian desert, where it crash landed after a raid in WWII.
The people who found it saw the bomber still had lots of items left over from the war in it. They also found one of the RAREST ITEMS in the world there.
The canteens aboard were filled with WWII water and was NOT RADIOACTIVE as all water was after the nuke tests.
The discoverers made coffee with the water.
