Stop eating banannas and brazil nuts before holding your breath about radiation that might be carried over from Japan.

Dude, the only thing that will even make it this far is radioactive nitrogen, which is in such small quantities that by the time it gets here it'll be so dilute that the background radiaition levels will be higher. Even in Japan, the radiactive species that were released are so short lived that by the time you say NUCLEAR DISASTER they have broken down into smaller, harmless, non-radiative elements.

I'd advise people to stop smoking before worrying about the nuclear stuff from Japan shortening your life span, you'll live longer.

Banannas!

No really, BED people. Think of this in terms of Bananna equivalents, and the amount of radiation you MIGHT see here (or currently in Tokyo for that matter), is really quite trivial.

That sites says they evacuated a six mile radius. A six-mile radius is a safety precaution. I love the "We're all gonna die" infographic. If that actually was the case, everyone in Japan would be dead.

God, I love media!
