1925: The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has said it does not foresee harmful levels of radiation reaching the US from the damaged Japanese nuclear power plants. "All the available information indicates weather conditions have taken the small releases from the Fukushima reactors out to sea away from the population," a statement said. "Given the thousands of miles between the two countries, Hawaii, Alaska, the US Territories and the US West Coast are not expected to experience any harmful levels of radioactivity."

1. I think they left out the part about...

"don't worry your pretty heads," and be sure to "go out and shop," and "doesn't TMZ have a new Charlie Sheen post up?"

In all seriousness, I think they are quite right on the current assessment, but that hardly suggests there is not continuing concern.

6. Keep an eye on the ash cloud from the erupting volcano.

If that gets here it's a good bet the radiation did too.
