commission has now weighed in and said no, they do not expect that any harmful levels of radiation could reach the u.s. they say that the releases so far were small and appear to have been taken out over the ocean by the prevailing winds. and then they go on to say, given the thousands of miles between the two countries, hawaii, alaska, the united states territories and the u.s. west coast, are not expected to experience any harmful levels of radioactivi radioactivity. there could be enough of radioactivity that will register somewhat on some of the measurement gauges. but they say not enough to be considered harmful. of course, it s a more immediate concern for the people of japan. you have seen some people there diagnosed with radioactive exposure. you ve seen vags evacuations. the government is talking about distributing iodine to stem the
