There is some degree of risk, no matter how small, that substantial amounts of radiation may leak from one or more of the Japanese reactors, make its way into the upper atmosphere or down into the water, and ultimately affect the United States and the rest of the world. The amount of exposure to citizens outside of Japan would ultimately be small; but unfortunately, in the case of some types of radiation, small amounts of radiation exposure — from meat, dairy, water — can still have health consequences, particularly for the vulnerable. In this Part II Podcast series on Japan’s Nuclear Reactors, learn what you can do to protect yourself from nuclear fallout.
