High radiation found far from Japan nuke plant

An expert has stated that radiation levels as far as 25 miles away from a plant in Japan are too high. Japan as urged people to evacuate from a 19 mile zone, but that distance could increase. Another problem that this dangerous radiation has caused is international trade. Some cabbages transported from Japan to Singapore were found to have nine times the radiation level recommended for international trade. Radiation is in the seawater, the soil, it's everywhere. Since this is such a serious situation and nobody wants it to happen again, people are doing their best to figure out methods of prevention. This was a terrible crisis and there definitely needs to be a way figured out to prevent it from happening again. I feel so bad for the families that had to leave their homes due to radiation levels. To just pack up and leave a place you're so familiar with and go stay somewhere else would be scary. I'd constantly be wondering about when we'll get to go back or if we'll ever get to go back home. It's also going to be very hard for them to prosper with agriculture when their soil is so dangerous. How will they manage growing things or being able to trade and make money with other countries? I hope their economy does well and doesn't tumble in this crisis. It makes me thankful to live in Minnesota, where I never need to worry about tsunamis or earthquakes. http://http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42324795/ns/world_news-asiapacific/
