Watch Out for Nuclear Dust

oops, you can't watch them because they are nano-particles we can ingest in our air and food. Detected in the West Coast, by a scientist Marco Kaltofen's monitoring stations, this could be a hazard throughout the Northern Hemisphere. gee, some of the produce I buy is grown in California.

Where is all that Fukushima radiation going, and why does it matter? from Fairewinds Associates on Vimeo.

Action item this video suggests: pester your congress people and safety regulators to start monitoring for small radioactive dust particles. This is different from an x-ray or a plane flight... they last for a short time. In contrast, an ingested radioactive particle can continue to emit radiation to your body for the rest of your life.
I checked on google maps, and I am sorry to say that my nearest nuke is only 23.5 miles away:
This nuke, Shearon Harris, has a terrible safety record.
" Harris has been in violation of federal fire regulations since at 
least 1992, and ranks worst in the nation in at least two critical fire safety criteria. "
Zoom in, Durham, and wake up and smell the steaming potentially radioactive coffee:
The irony is that we wouldn't need the nukes if we went ahead with energy conservation and solar and  wind power generation, according to NC Warn.
