Asking myself why i keep on about this, the answer comes to me...

There are things we as a society can do, and things our government can do, to prepare.

The EPA has a link about cesium which seems to be the most possible radiation if the pool were to drop. In this link is some info about how it can be detected. It takes special diagnostic equipment that is, at present, scarce. EPA Link:

http://epa.gov/radiation/radionuclides/cesium.html#environment

If we all become aware of the problem we may just be able to do something about it. Like make diagnostic centers available for everyone.
