U.S. Recommends That People Defer all non-essential Travels to Japan, Plans on Evacuating Families and Embassy Personnel

Chartered airplanes will be sent by the US government to evacuate the family members and personnel of US embassy.  The U.S. government is also recommending that people do not take non-essential trips to Japan at this time due to the nuclear threat.

The battles by Japanese scientists to control the fire at Daiichi nuclear plant in Fukushima continue to provide no major positive denouement.  Heads of government are forced to think about their citizens living in Japan.  Evacuations are in order for U.S. citizens living in Japan and wanting to get out.  Chartered plans will go in to pick them up!

In California, fear of radiation runs rampant as people are buying up all iodine medications they can find.  They fear radiation leakages that may come from Japan.  Experts are saying such threats are overblown.

It is so unfortunate that at a time when volunteers should rush in to help the survivors of the quake and tsunami, the radiation threats are keeping them out!

Japan's Prime Minister: "Stay Indoors, Nuclear Leaks Now Dangerous to Humans" How about the Search and Rescue?

Volunteers who could go to Japan to help with the relief effors, rescue and clean up are thinking twice about safety and security issues on the occasion of a third explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi atomic plant releasing dangerous levels of radiation into the atmosphere.  Prime Minister Naoto Kan took to national TV to say that radiation has spread from four damaged nuclear reactors of the Fukushima Daiichi atomic power plant.
