Japan disaster death tolls:

Earthquake & Tsunami related deaths = 18,000

Radiation related deaths so far = none confirmed

Those 50 workers volunteering to work inside the reactor buildings are the bravest
patriots in Japan. My prayers are with them.

… According to sources, the U.S. team will also prepare for unexpected contingencies, such as a large-scale radiation leak from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

About 10 members of the U.S. Marine Corps' Chemical Biological Incident Response Force arrived at U.S. Yokota Air Base in Tokyo on Saturday as an advance party. They arrived on a U.S. transport plane from Maryland.

They will be joined by two similar units scheduled to arrive Sunday and Monday. In total, the response force will deploy 155 personnel to Japan.

Hi everyone, according to a report from enenews.com, "Nuclear fallout will "engulf" Taiwan starting April 6 — "People should stay home" or "Immediately take off their clothes and cleanse nuclear contaminants" (VIDEO) April 4th, 2011 at 01:34 AM" The report explains:

Radioactive fallout may hit Taiwan in two days, The China Post/Asia News Network, April 04, 2011:

[Emphasis Added]

… Boosted by the southward movement of cold air from the Chinese mainland, these northeast winds will push a cloud of strontium and radioactive iodine particles toward Taiwan from a distance of about 2,500 km, and then the weakening high pressure over Taiwan will draw in the fallout, which will engulf the whole island for at least two days from April 6 on. …

People should stay home while the nuclear fallout is here in order to avoid prolonged exposure, a specialist with the Veterans General Hospital said, adding those who must go out should immediately take off their clothes and cleanse nuclear contaminants from their bodies as soon as they are back home.

People should wear long-sleeved clothing and masks when they go out on a sunny day and carry an umbrella if it rains, said [Taiwan Atomic Energy Council]'s Lee Jo-chan, who also recommended cleansing showers, but not iodine tablets and table salt. …
