The way I understand it- is people age 50 and over will be fine.    not that - it is any consolation.  It is sad.  Now there is a plant in Nebraska that is a no fly zone, flooded with a level 4 rating.   --as of this week--

Agreed.

Tho someone said that the gauges on the plane could be effected by this and the safety of the plane would be in question.  ( a comment posted on one of the articles I read)

That's pretty ludicrous. Airplanes get exposed to much higher amounts of radiation by simply flying high.

A nuclear spill in NE would be bad for the east coast.    (well a serious event would be)

2) the plant has been shut down since April
3) the NOTAM is for altitudes below 3500 feet, not exactly heinous
4) there are high-tension distribution lines right there, and if the flood hits that stash o' equipment I think life could get downright exciting!
5) Wiener
6) Budget ceiling
7) new al-Quaeda leader

CNN reported the fire at the plant on the 8th, the flooding occured, but most news stations were told it was temporary.

Status: offline 		I judge the hotness of a news topic by how it is trending on the internet. I do not have cable television currently, so I would not have caught CNN newscast on it.

It seems to be this should be at least as newsworthy as Weiner's crotch shots...

I did not say that I agree with what the internet says is "newsworthy" but it is a rather good gauge as to what the cable news outlets will be talking about, and what people are paying attention to... not perfect though.

I look through the top news stories on google just to see what is trending on there. I read news from all over the place.

And what would you propose we do to stop a Ring of Fire sort of disaster, Julia? You can only take the building codes up so far. I'd rather not live in a concrete and construction foam igloo, thanks.

A friend and I had a great day once, getting lost on the roads and coastline of this part of Japan. It's a beautiful place. Anybody know the half life of the contamination?
