Japanese Radiation in the US?

Question:


Will people in Spokane Washington get radiated?

Answer:


Water is NOT radiation's friend. And with that simple fact in mind--given the almost daily moisture that inundates Washington, I don't foresee dire radiation levels there.

Hawaii and Alaska's western most coastal areas will surely see easily detectable radiation levels---but I don't think any that pose threats to those land areas, given the dense air moisture in the atmospheric jet stream AND between the mass ocean space between them and Japan.

Concerns are understandable---but I don't think fears are called for.
