As a result of the issues in Japan- the radioactive waves, plant explosions, etc, etc...
Korea will receive "Radioactive Rain" tomorrow... hmmmm....
In case you're wondering:
"Radioactive Rain" is a form of "Radioactive Fallout" which is:
the residual radiation hazard from a nuclear explosion, so called because it "falls out" of the atmosphere after the explosion. It commonly refers to the radioactive dust created when a nuclear weapon explodes. This radioactive dust, consisting of hot particles, is a kind of radioactive contamination. It can lead to the contamination of ground and the animal food chain.
So, essentially- you don't really want it...
Well... A letter from my school states:
Dear Parents:
The school has received inquiries relative to a perceived concern regarding the potential for radioactive rain to fall in Seoul tomorrow (Thursday). The school has researched both the US and British embassies, as well as Korean media outlets, and has received advice that any potential contamination from this rain would not present a significant health hazard to our children. Based on this information, the school will remain in session tomorrow.
In the event that it does rain tomorrow, the school will take appropriate measures to ensure that the children remain indoors, as may be appropriate.
(And here I'm thinking: "Man, if I only had the outside duty TOMORROW instead of FRIDAY! UGH")
