Russia says that there are problems with radiation that is over their safe limits. Plus there are a few reports in America that radiation has effected milk. Ladies and gentlemen this is not just a Japan problem anymore. :(

TOKYO — The Japanese government's nuclear safety agency raised the crisis level of the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plant accident from 5 to 7, the worst on the international scale and on par with the Chernobyl accident 25 years ago.
The emission of radioactive substances from the stricken plant is about 10 percent of the amount that had been detected at Chernobyl, the agency said on Tuesday.
However, an official at Tokyo Electric and Power (TEPCO) said later Tuesday that they are concerned that the radiation leakage could eventually exceed the 1986 disaster.
"The radiation leak has not stopped completely and our concern is that it could eventually exceed Chernobyl," a TEPCO official told reporters.

I already knew how bad it was going to be weeks ago, when I read Michio Kaku's column. Now it has gotten to the point that it can no longer be covered up.

If you knew, why didn't you warn the Japanese?
