Worst case scenario, if the Japan nuclear reactors have a complete meltdown, then there is a possibility that the radiation can travel in the Jet Stream to the western coast of the U.S. To protect yourself from the radiation, iodine supplements are available at your local drug store.
coz if nuclear meltdown it can explode
The only nuclear reactor meltdown in the US occurred at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979. It was a partial meltdown caused by a combination of equipment failure and human error.
The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942, and the first nuclear meltdown in US history occurred in 1979, marking a span of 37 years between these two events.
Very good question. It probably happened in the 1950s on an experimental reactor on the INEL site in Idaho. I know that their EBR-1 reactor was damaged by a partial meltdown in that time period, but I don't know if it was the first. I have considered making a FOIA request to them on that subject.
a nuclear reactor had a nuclear meltdown
None ever recorded but I may happen soon. We'll see >:)
Under the worst possible conditions, a meltdown can occur in a nuclear submarine. It is an event of low probability, however.
when there is a nuclear meltdown in an area with some what of population of animals and humans if not evacuated it is most likely that the animals and humans will get radiation which can cause cancer and kill them.

Chernobyl, Russia
yes
Human stupidity
