I'm well aware of what these are, but how do they relate to the subject of the thread? Radiation fallout would be a TERRIBLE way to cull to population, IMHO. It's like something biological-they people who "make" it are NOT immune.
The levels of radioactivity found in the region around the plant are already "well above background levels"-- the natural levels of radiation measured at a location -- and "high enough to be of concern," said James Smith, an adjunct professor of environmental health at Emory and the former associate director of the radiation division at the Centers for Disease Control.
Jacquelyn Yanch, professor of nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said background levels vary quite a bit around the world, and that the levels seen now in Japan are comparable to the natural levels seen in some parts of China, India and Brazil.
"The radiation levels to the public [in Japan] are relatively low, they are certainly higher than background, but people live at these levels around the world," Yanch said. "We don't have any data that show that living in these areas increases your chance of getting cancer or shortens your life."
"There is the potential for bioaccumulation for some of these radionuclides through the food chain," he said, which occurs when chemicals collect in the tissue of organisms, such as fish, increasing the concentration of that chemical.
The two contaminants scientists are watching most closely in this crisis are Iodine 131, which dissipates quickly and has a half life of eight days, and cesium-137, which has a half-life of about 30 years.

They won't even have to stay long in their bunkers.
They are hiding, or will be hiding shortly; because they know what's coming. TPTB. They are irradiating the globe just long enough to destroy our genes, to weaken us, but not enough to stay around for a long time; and they will just come back out, things are good, go about your lives.
It's Eugenics.
The Elite are making their move.

According to the video, the entire world is covered by a very tiny harmless amount. Why are you not buying that, exactly? The only alternative is that it's much worse than this incredibly tame scenario.

It must not be coming up right on my computer. All I see is grass and rocks.
