LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) — Risks from possible radiation exposure remain greatest for the workers scrambling to cool reactors at a Japanese nuclear power plant.
Those who have been evacuated from the site are considered safe, as are the 39 million people who live in the greater Tokyo region.
A plume of radiation from Japan is expected to arrive in Southern California Friday, but health and nuclear experts say there is absolutely no cause for alarm.
Los Angeles County emergency officials are prepared with radiation detection equipment, but the plume will be diluted over its journey across the Pacific Ocean. Officials say it will not be dangerous for California or the rest of the United States.
