I believe that the media has been given orders to not sound the alarm over this in hopes of preventing widespread panic over radiation fears in the US.

My parents went to visit family in another state last week. I asked my dad if Japan or Fukushima came up in conversation during a visit that lasted a week. It wasn't even discussed.

When will you to visqueen seal your windows? And for how long? And what's the purpose while those Reactors are spewing poison... and is expected to do so for years, or decades? I have four 100' rolls of plastic in my shed but I/we still have to breathe the air.

How about stockpiling food. I have several years supply if I don't share with others who didn't... or die of radiation first... But when it's gone what do I/we do? The world's food supply will still be totally contaminated for years and decades (or longer)... and eventually I/we must eat it too.

You start using the visqueen when the radiation count goes to unsafe levels. You use it as long as unsafe levels of radiation exist. Just like you filter air into a bomb shelter. Minimize exposure to maintain quality of life.

If you can't find uncontaminated food, switch to aquaculture under a greenhouse environment. You have to use uncontaminated inputs or purify those inputs. Every environmental issue you ignore can and possibly will harm you.
Long story short ...... if you don't take care to minimize ingestion/inhalation, you will most likely live a short, miserable existence.
The largest corporate producers worldwide, with plants in numerous countries, are BASF, Bayer, Braskem, Celanese/Ticona, Degussa, Dow, DuPont, Eastman Chemical Company, ExxonMobil, INEOS, Mitsubishi, PPG Industries, SABIC and Shell, along with thousands of smaller firms.

Concern for the us right now. Quit being a chicken little and chill out.
