Even so, I’d like to see an official disclaimer that says the Pacific Northwest is totally free of radiation from Japan. We’re certainly not free of debris from Fukushima washing up on our shores, some of which “may be radioactive.”
Would not mean anything. Many government employees have no problem lying if they think it is for the good of their employer. For example - A recent Alaskan official for the Public Health department claimed no radiation from Japan reached Alaska. That was a flat out false statement. Radiation was detected at Dutch Harbor, Juneau and Nome in March.
Yeah well, so is sunshine. And as a friend used to say, “You have to die from something.”
They can't because it is not. However, everything is a matter of degree. If I pee in a lake I have raised the level of the lake, that does not mean that I have caused a flood that will wipe out the Ohio Valley.
You got a tiny dose of radiation from what happened in Japan. Less then what you get from eating a banana.
