The media focusses on Iodine 131 and tends to ignore Cesium 137 which is much worse because it has a long half life. Wild boars in Germany still have to be tested before being eaten because some of them are too radioactive from Cesium 137 (Chernobyl) to be consumed.
If Cesium gets in your body it is much much much worse because it is an internal emitter vs an x-ray which is an external emitter and can be walked away from.
One spec of Plutonium will (not might) give you cancer.
Our governments and media are not even telling people to stay out of the rain. Rain is what brings the fallout down. Pregnant women are not even being warned and we know that fetuses and infants are exponentially more susceptible to radiation effects than adults.
