That's got to be the funniest comment of the year so far
You should spend some time reading the thousand plus page thread, TEPCO have been proved to be lying many, many times. I would believe a politician before I believed a TEPCO spokesman (I never thought I'd say that about anybody)
TEPCO spokesmen occasionally slip up and say things their bosses think the public shouldn't know, this gets deleted and buried FAST.
They fudge numbers, they remove links to relevant information and change the units of radiation midsentence to make the readings look lower .
I think you must be either very naive or paid to post.

I read an article a number of months ago that was saying the entire West coast of the North American continent was receiving fall out. The rate was something like we were ingesting on the average about 30 particles a day. I facebooked it for other to read so I will see if I can still pull it up for citation purposes.
The article attributed an incline of birth mortality rates in California to the fall out. Ever since then nearly every day I think and wonder to myself what is in the air that we are breathing. I have looked online for some kind of site that monitors this sort of thing. I have found nothing.
PERHAPS ALL TOGETHER we can combine efforts and do a search to see if there is any form of monitoring system or air quality tracking system that could give an idea of what the West coast of the U.S. is experiencing.
I agree the reason that nothing being said about this in the main stream media is because there is nothing that can be done. Simply put...just people go on living their lives with out the fear and panic this would cause. We have a right to know !!!edit on 29-8-2011 by miner49r because: (no reason given)

ditto , and wow what a shock: radiation is out of control after almost 6 months...apparently human engineering isn't all we think it can be.. and clearly nuclear energy cannot ever have a problem that pollutes an entire hemisphere for months and months and months and months and...

Japan is well known for its automotive and electronics industries throughout the world, and Japanese electronic products account for a large share in the world market, compared to a majority of other countries. Japan is one of the leading nations in the fields of scientific research, technology, machinery and medical research with the world's third largest budget for research and development at $130 billion USD, and over 677,731 researchers. Japan has received the most science Nobel prizes in Asia (see List of Nobel laureates by country)
The Hiroshima bomb claimed most of its victims in the intense heat wave and neutron rays from a midair nuclear explosion and the highly radioactive fallout. No one has died from radiation leaks from the Fukushima plant, where an explosion from hydrogen buildup damaged reactor buildings
Wikipedia
The Tsar was a three-stage Teller–Ulam design hydrogen bomb with a yield of 50 megatons (Mt)[3] This is equivalent to 1,400 times the combined power of the two nuclear explosives used in World War II (Little Boy (13–18 kilotons) and Fat Man (21 kilotons), the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki)

But I know some people who are currently living in Japan and, they don't seem to be concerned?
Austria was the first country to begin a phase-out (in 1978) and has been followed by Sweden (1980), Italy (1987), Belgium (1999), and Germany (2000). Austria, and Spain have gone as far as to enact laws not to build new nuclear power stations. Several other European countries have debated phase-outs. As of June 2011, Germany and Switzerland are phasing-out nuclear power.[2][3] As of June 2011, countries such as Australia, Austria, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Norway remain opposed to nuclear power.[2][4]
