How Dangerous is the Plutonium from the Japanese Nuclear Plant?
So like radioactive cesium and iodide - which I discussed yesterday - plutonium doesn't exist in nature in any significant quantity, and so "background radiation" is a meaningless concept.
Plutonium stays radioactive for a long time. Pu-238 has an 88-year half-life, Pu-239 has a 24,000-year half-life, and Pu-240 has a 6,500-year half life.

New air missions attack Kadhafi troops: Pentagon
Editor's Note: Who knew the purpose of a "no-fly zone" is to actually air bomb ground forces?
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States used low-flying combat aircraft against Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi's ground troops, the Pentagon said Monday, but denied it was directly supporting the rebels.
"We have employed A-10s and AC-130s over the weekend," US Vice Admiral Bill Gortney, director of the US military's Joint Staff, told reporters, without giving specifics about targets.

EPA To Change Radiation PAGS?!?
In the wake of the continuing nuclear tragedy in Japan, the United States government is still moving quickly to increase the amounts of radiation the population can “safely” absorb by raising the safe zone for exposure to levels designed to protect the government and nuclear industry more than human life.
It’s all about cutting costs now as the infinite-growth paradigm sputters and moves towards extinction. As has been demonstrated by government conduct in the Gulf of Mexico in the wake of Deepwater Horizon and in Japan, life has taken a back seat to cost-cutting and public relations posturing.
The game plan now appears to be to protect government and the nuclear industry from “excessive costs”… at any cost.

Rainwater and Air Across U.S. Contaminated With Nuclear Radiation is Linked to Japan
* Public health officials say drinking water is safe
* Flaws in U.S. radiation alert network has left parts of west coast without real-time warning system
Low levels of radioactive iodine believed to be from Japan’s disaster-stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant have been detected in the atmosphere in South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida, environmental officials said today.
There is no current threat to public safety, said Progress Energy spokesman Drew Elliot.

Gingrich fears ‘atheist country … dominated by radical Islamists’
Newt Gingrich is a particularly evil man with no shame. Here's what he said to a group of demented Christian Zionists:
"I have two grandchildren: Maggie is 11; Robert is 9," Gingrich said at Cornerstone Church. "I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."
Christian Zionists are the most easily duped fools on the planet. They're selfish, scared and extremely stupid. Unfortunately, they're 70 million strong--about 1/5 of the population of the US--and the largest and most coveted voting block in America.

Radiation detected in US rainwater
The low level of radioiodine-131detected in Massachusetts rainwater samples is comparable to the amounts found in California, Washington and Pennsylvania.
But Ann Coulter says radiation is GOOD for you! (Ahem) The media appears to be focusing on the iodine because that is the isotope with the shortest half life and also the one that is easiest (cheapest) to deal with. But there are other materials from the reactor which are longer lasting, such as cesium-37 and strontium-90, and harder to remove from the body. Plutonium, being an alpha emitter, is very hard to detect and harmless outside the body. But a single particle inhaled into the lungs will remain, constantly irradiating the unprotected tissues, until cancer results. Plutonium can also decay into far more deadly materials after it has been in your soil and water for a while. Plutonium-241 can decay into Americium-241, which is a gamma-ray emitter.
