ORIGINAL: pahunkboy I dont know. Maybe we could study how rain forms- radio active isotopes. Chernobyl did some damage. This accident is alot worse. It is on you to take responsibility for your health. There is alot to learn about how nukes spread risk. A volcano takes down flights- blizzards crippled cities- this is before the poisons are in the air. Chernobyl did damage in the immediate vicinity and down wind. No significant radioactive material got into the jet stream. The Icelandic volcano also was strictly a local wind pattern affair. The dust made operating jet turbines hazardous. Nuclear power plants can only cause radioactive harm if the core's containment is breached, the primary coolant is vented or the spent fuel is exposed to the environment. None of those by itself will put radioactive particles into the jet stream. There are legitimate things to be concerned about but you won't hear about those from Jones. Jones is strictly in business to make money off people who are easily scared.
