Radiation found in food supply. Saw a thing on the news this weekend where they interviewed farmers. Farmers being told not to plant.

Radiation found in the sea today.

May be old news but here it goes anyway, this accident at Fuku was worse than Three Mile Island a week ago even though the Japanese regulators just raised the level to that "official" level over the weekend.

I have a little knowledge in this area. Nuclear Engineering KSU 1975, I actually worked for General Electric as a test engineer at Tokai 2 nuclear plant 1977 - 1979, an hour and a half train ride south of Fuku. I spent a month working at Fukushima 2 refueling outage during my two year stint in Japan. This accident is not going to get up to Chernobal levels unless they completely screw everything up and multiple plants go to worst case. Japan is just such a small geographical area there just is no buffer area to be had when it comes to the potential contamination. Hope the wind is blowing seaward if it comes to the worst.
