Does anyone know how radiation is removed from the air? Does rain help? I understand that the radiation itself does not disengrate except over much time - but how to keep it from spreading across the globe? I had always thought that if an end of the world was to come it would be by the instigation of a chemical or nuclear war, but it seems there are more ways than that...

As tragic as the disaster is, nuclear power plants will continue with little interruption. France has no choice. China is planning to build 28 more even though they have issued the usual political correct statements.
Uranium stocks such as Uranium One, Paladin, and Rockgate Capital Corp are on sale...
The hype against nuclear energy is unfounded. A 9.2 earthquake near Hoover Dam would likely cause severe damage. Should we then ban hydoro-electric power? Was offshore drilling banned as a result of the BP oil spill last year? Because coal miners die every year should we stop looking for coal? The answer is and was no...
6 months from now the media will be on to something else...

Here is an email from another friend of the family who teaches in Tokyo. We hadn't been able to catch up to her until yesterday.
We are fine. Tokyo is unscathed. Not too worried about the radiation here in Tokyo-- negligible. The earthquake and tsunami have devastated the northern coast of Japan. Those people are without enough supplies, kerosine, medicine, though they are managing. Also, worried about those people within the 50-80 kilometer range of the nuclear plants. Got all 700 kids and 90 staff out to the tennis courts on Friday, March 11. No injured in any of the international schools, I believe.
Hideo and I are going to Kyoto today - for a "vacation" and to distance ourselves a bit from radiation, though no threat in Tokyo, and to rest and do my US income tax. This is our spring break. School is scheduled to open March 28 but I'm expecting delays. Not many of our teachers are left in Tokyo; some have left Japan. There may not be a lot of students either. I'm praying most for those suffering from the effects of the quake and tsunami and for those people involved in cooling down and controlling the nuclear reactors. The US military and embassy are helping Americans to leave; right now airports may be crowded but I think that situation will improve as the first wave of foreigners leave. Most of the Japanese won't be going anywhere. This is their home.
Thanks for your concern. Dudley and Donna L. will have information about us, though they are in Florida until around March 25.
Please pray for Japan and the Japanese people; they are stoic. Pray that God will be working among them during these trying days.
Love, Suzanne
