(CBS News) A plume of radiation from Japan's stricken nuclear reactors is
expected to reach the U.S. Friday. Computer models show the jet stream
carrying those radioactive tars touching the Aleutian Islands before
hitting the California coast.
Scientists say the plume will lose its radiation concentration and won't
be a threat to people in the West, something President Barack Obama
reiterated in a White House statement Thursday. On Friday, deputy U.S.
Energy Secretary Daniel Poneman echoed those assurances and downplayed
concerns about trace amounts of radiation detected on flights arriving at
U.S. airports.

As for the specter of radiation in the U.S., the president is relying on
Department of Energy experts and the independent Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Poneman said. "We expect no harmful levels of radiation to
reach the West Coast, to reach Hawaii, Alaska, or any of the pacific
territories."
