EPA raises limits for radiation exposure. Canada turns off fallout detectors.

Natural News points out the obvious:

Fukushima, you see, is doing to the Pacific Ocean what BP and the Deepwater Horizon did to the Gulf of Mexico last summer. Except that in the case of Fukushima, that radiation doesn't just disappear with the help of millions of gallons of toxic chemicals. Nope, that radiation sticks around for decades.

So what to do? If you're the United States Environment Protection Agency, there's only one option: Declare radiation to be safe!

And not to belittle Mr. Adams outrage, but that radiation doesn't stick around for decades. Some of it is gone in days, weeks. But some of it... the kidney losing kind... is here for hundreds of thousands of years. Or to put it another way - A FUCKING REALLY LONG TIME.

Damned if you do, Damned and groped if you don't

Daring Fireball

Peter Rez, a physics professor at Arizona State University in Tempe, did his own calculations and found that you are equally likely to die from the scanner radiation as from a terrorist airplane attack.
