Now this should scare you
"Petkau Effect may be illustrated as follows:A long term exposure of extremely low radiation (i.e., one-ten millionth of a rad) was found to be 100 BILLION times MORE lethal than a short term exposure to exceedingly high level radiation (i.e., 10,000 rads per minute)."
In other words, a radioactive particle in your body - such that are raining from the sky now - can be much worse than a huge momentary blast. Last year they killed the Gulf, this year they're working on the entire northern hemisphere. People in Belarus are still sick from Chernobyl.
Supposedly reactor #2 is in full meltdown now.
