There is a lot of speculation about this. Is that really possible?
It is being proposed that after meltdown and release the nuclear material will enter the Jet Stream and be in west Coast US in a few days.
Personally I find it hard to swallow. I mean we exploded two nuclear devices over Japan in 1945 and did not experience widespread nuclear contamination in the US.. A core meltdown devastates the soil, water and local air.. for at least a few hundred miles, but by the time anything enters the Jet Stream, etc.. how powerful could it be?
I realize these are different scenarios, a nuclear blast and a core meltdown in a nuclear reactor.. (with the Atomic explosion MUCH MORE SEVERE).
So, is there any scenario whereby even if four core meltdowns occur and their radioactivity gets released, that the West Coast of US needs to worry.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks a lot
