Answer:

Obama: Experts say Japan radiation will not reach U.S.
President Obama told a Pittsburgh television station today he is not worried about radiation from the damaged Japanese nuclear plant reaching the United States -- "no, I'm deeply worried about radiation effects in Japan."

Obama told KDKA-TV of Pittsburgh that experts have assured him that a nuclear release from Japan will dissipate by the time it gets to Hawaii, much less the U.S. mainland.

In the wake of the Japanese crisis, Obama said, the U.S. needs to "examine how we can further improve the safety and performance" of nuclear plants in this country.

The United States is providing Japan with "all the support we can," Obama said, in the wake of an earthquake, tsunami, and now a nuclear accident.

"A triple whammy," Obama said.
