I get sick thinking about this. There is nothing we can do about Fukushima except be aware of what can happen so that we don't get surprised.

Part of that awareness is becoming active to make sure our government doesn't push it all under the rug. If they can, they will do nothing to prepare for any increase in radiation.

There are many actions that can be taken to be prepared for an increase in radiation: medical, food source, and shelter actions.

Then there is the fact that we have 30 Fukushima type reactors in the US that are all susceptible to similar outcomes as Fukushima. We need, as a country, to begin eliminating that possibility. Even the last head of the government commission, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission - NRC, has gone on record as stating that these plants are unsafe and must be closed down ASAP. He ought to know and he knew he had to speak up, so he did. And they ran him out of office!

It is our duty to make sure people know of the dangers, and to make sure we safely close and secure our own Fukushima type nuclear power plants. That is what we can do.
