In your case...
Go back to sleep already
Your so worried about death that your going to stop living all together.
Tomorrow, just walk outside, enjoy the day, have a milkshake, stand in the rain, etc...point being, if your going to die, your going to die, but that doesn't mean stop living until you die.
Wear your seatbelt, stay fit, and be as happy as you can until you die...be it next year, or in 70 years...
If you find you are all but dead from paranoia, then your missing the whole point of being aware and awake to begin with. So, my suggestion is to simply dismiss it all and enjoy life once again.

Tell me please, are the Japanese all dead yet?
No, Hmmmm.
Please get back to me after the first few die from radiation exposure.
How many have died yet?

S&F to you. There isn't nearly enough info/ updates on this topic (even here on ATS). I would like to stay as informed as possible on any threats to my family and myself. Kinda wierd the media has no interest in something that could potentially kill us all if it blew. I wonder if they would even tell us if it did?

Stochastic effects are associated with long-term, low-level (chronic) exposure to radiation. ("Stochastic" refers to the likelihood that something will happen.) Increased levels of exposure make these health effects more likely to occur, but do not influence the type or severity of the effect.
Cancer is considered by most people the primary health effect from radiation exposure. Simply put, cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells. Ordinarily, natural processes control the rate at which cells grow and replace themselves. They also control the body's processes for repairing or replacing damaged tissue. Damage occurring at the cellular or molecular level, can disrupt the control processes, permitting the uncontrolled growth of cells--cancer. This is why ionizing radiation's ability to break chemical bonds in atoms and molecules makes it such a potent carcinogen.
Other stochastic effects also occur. Radiation can cause changes in DNA, the "blueprints" that ensure cell repair and replacement produces a perfect copy of the original cell. Changes in DNA are called mutations.
The damage takes place in only a fraction of a second, but other changes such as the beginning of cancer may take years to develop.

In layman's terms, it takes a while. You're most welcome to remain ignorant while you wait for us to "get back to you." Figured I'd try giving you a head start by pointing you in the right direction.

If every one is seriously worried about radiation and cancer, drink about 10-15 cups of green tea a day. Stay away from fast food and soda. Eat organic food. Eat lots of fruits and veggies. You should be fine, so long as you havent already devloped advanced stages. Your body has many incredible ways to fight cancer and radiation.

Hey Guy ....
I think your theory of " Eat organic food. Eat lots of fruits and veggies" is null and void when radio active rain comes down on them ....
That stuff ceases to be Fresh or Organic at that point

FUKUSHIMA = 2,000 Atomic Bombs

Killer Contamination Spreads Worldwide Without Opposition
(San Francisco) – Radioactive contamination equivalent to the Fukushima, Japan disaster in terms of the hated “Mushroom Cloud” Atomic Bombs is two thousand (2,000) 500 Kiloton Atomic Bombs.* Each 500kt Atomic Bomb is 33 times bigger than the American Bomb that destroyed Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.
The damage takes place in only a fraction of a second, but other changes such as the beginning of cancer may take years to develop.
