UN: Radiation to Hit U.S. By Friday

     A United Nations forecast of the potential path of the radioactive plume coming from crippled Japanese reactors shows it churning across the Pacific and touching the Aleutian Islands on Thursday before hitting Southern California late Friday.

     However, the weather (more importantly the wind) has been just as volatile and inconsistent as the markets themselves.  Over the next few days wind will be one of the most important variables being factored into the markets.

     According to the New York Times, A forecast by the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization shows how weather patterns this week might disperse radiation from a continuous source in Fukushima, Japan. The forecast does not show actual levels of radiation, but it does allow the organization to estimate when different monitoring stations, marked with small dots, might be able to detect extremely low levels of radiation. Health and nuclear experts emphasize that any plume will be diluted as it travels and, at worst, would have extremely minor health consequences in the United States.
