For those in Taiwan, China or other regions who are concerned about the possibility of radioactive fallout from Japan, be sure to read up on potassium iodide, which can prevent radioactive fallout from destroying your thyroid gland. Potassium iodide, however, does not "shield" your entire body from radiation. It merely prevents it from being concentrated in one place in your body.

Lethal in Japan - the real story on radiation
According to Dr. Katsuma Yagasaki, "DU dust-like particles can enter human bodies, and once taken into the body, they will become tens of millions times more hazardous. Newly released data indicate that low-level radiation is more likely to cause biochemical abnormalities than intensive high-level radiation. It is wrong to make light of the hazard of low-level radiation."

Why Is George Monbiot Shilling for Nuclear Power?
That said, I think the pro-nuke crowd, now including George Monbiot, is making two grave errors. 
The first is claiming that low levels of radiation are safe.
Monbiot seems just as political in supporting nuclear energy as Caldicott is in opposing it. In fact, this seems a common theme among many pro-nuclear ‘environmentalists.
