More concerned about the cascadia fault line. That is gonna be a major event. One of the main reasons i wanted to move away from the oregon coast. Im still in the danger zone for the big earthquake but i feel better being out of the Tsunami zone. Tsunami's are my worst fear. I still regulary have nightmares about them.

Radioactive Tsunami-Quake. D~Funk lives in a SyFi-Original disaster movie confirmed.
Hell, three dudes at Chernobyl dived into an irradiated pool to drain it of water (lest the core fall into it and explode.) They not only survived, but two of them are still alive. One did die of a heart attack, 19 years after the event.
Actually, all three of them died very fast of radiation poisoning. They even got lead coffins.

The bubbler pool could be drained by opening its sluice gates. However, the valves controlling it were underwater, located in a flooded corridor in the basement. So volunteers in wetsuits and respirators (for protection against radioactive aerosols) and equipped with dosimeters, entered the knee-deep radioactive water and managed to open the valves.[88][89] These were the engineers Alexei Ananenko and Valeri Bezpalov (who knew where the valves were), accompanied by the shift supervisor Boris Baranov.[90] Upon succeeding and emerging from the water, according to many English language news articles, books and the prominent BBC docudrama Surviving Disaster
I love living in Ohio. Fresh water everywhere and very few natural disasters. Just a few months of snow to deal with, and it kills all the bugs and allergies anyhow.

Weirdo.
I lived in Texas for 8 years. 100 degrees for 41 straight days and almost 70 days total for the year over 100. Sucks terribly. Too many people, too far to drive between stuff.

Do you really feel like that the much more in-depth explanation you posted here actually jives with what you posted earlier "at face value"?

No thanks.
Added to the fact that you are a moist individual as it is, that must have been unbearable!
Anyway, my point was that if three dudes can WADE through radioactive water in the middle of a nuclear powerplant in active meltdown and still live, the amount washing ashore after going through the Pacific Ocean probably won't be as bad.
I completely agree.
I would be surprised if anybody outside of Japan really has anything to worry about, at all.

No, That Old Au Guy is correct. For sure, I'm positive two men died the same night they went diving in the irradiated pool to drain it. FYI the type of radiation going on turned the water into pure hydrogen peroxide. The third man died 19 years later of a heart attack. Maybe you're thinking of the liquidators clearing radioactive debris off the roof of Reactor 3? Many survived that, but their health was reduced to that of old men, they practically lived in hospitals afterwards.
Don't forget all the firefighters who gave their lives to battle the fires right after the core exploded. Within a few hours to a few days, every firefighter died of extreme radiation sickness.
I find it troubling how few of you actually read up on the accident. A LOT of people died during the Chernobyl disaster, thousands easily. The numbers were greatly played down by the USSR government. Those who didn't die, wished they did.
They didn't dive in it (as Arch pointed out), they waded in it to find the valves. And two are still alive, Andrew Leatherbarrow tracked them down for his book Chernobyl 01:23:40 and verified them still kicking around.
I was born 225 miles away from Chernobyl, 361 days after the disaster. Drank milk half of my life right from radioactive zone, drove through radioactive zone at least 5-6 times. I am 31 now with no signs of any sicknesses, doesn't mean shit but you get the point. However, in my homeland Belarus oncology places don't have space for cancer patients because there are simply too many of them. The real effect of such disaster takes about 20 years after and this is when get people get sick...The irony is Belarus used to be a black zone on Japanese maps, kind of sad seeing how things turned out later.

Im in pacific northwest
I do too, but you're more likely to develop health issues from processed food, than radiation exposure.

You're more likely to die of a volcano in the PNW than radiation.

Japan seems to be doing OK.
Their population is declining steadily. Not enough babies get made when you're marrying body pillows I guess.

hahaha...
It is true the population is declining, but that's been a relatively long time coming.
