I love Denver, but what about the jet stream direction/flow during the summer and early fall months? Just in case more stuff happens over in Japan...would Colorado be in the jet stream path? I think it stays North, but I am not sure.

The Jet Stream was retreating north during March and April in its annual sweep.
Texas coincidentally has enjoyed a massive spring drought, so the radionuclides have been minimal. Texas cattle are eating stored hay, so the meat and dairy have been spared the fallout. The Texas food crops will be mostly irrigated with well water, due to the drought.
Responding to Samoa News inquiries as to how many monitoring devices are being deployed to American Samoa, the USEPA's manager of the regional radiation program Mike Bandrowski said, "Unfortunately, none are being sent to American Samoa."
In a telephone interview yesterday morning from the USEPA regional office in San Francisco, he continued, "We don't expect elevated levels of radiation to reach the island. But as a precaution, some [monitoring devices] have been sent to Guam, Hawai'i and the Aleutian Islands [in Alaska.]".
Pago Pago also spelled (Panhg-oh Panhg-goh), is the capital of American Samoa. In 2000, its population was 11,500. The city is served by Pago Pago International Airport.
Pago-Pago is the last city in the world to enter New Year's Eve.

All crap. It's random and there is no certain way to know unless they test everything in every city. Even moving to the southern hemisphere won't help much. This stuff will travel the globe F.O.R.E.V.E.R.
Arnie Gunderson says he has car air filters that proves the randomness of the "plume". Some were not contaminated at all while others were highly contaminated. It could have went anywhere and everywhere depending on where the wind took/takes it.
If I had to choose a place in the US, I'd choose any beachfront house on the Atlantic Ocean. And I wish I was gutsy enough to go there the first few weeks when this junk was spewing out all over us here in CA.

The GE drumbeat … ‘fear is crazy’ 'Resistance is futile'
Psycho-babble
One prong of the General Electric attack/defense, much like BP, is to minimize the scope of the environmental Armageddon. Another prong is to minimize their involvement, such as a recent statement, ‘GE built the turbines’. There is the lunatic hormesis notion, advanced by the lovely and erudite constitutional lawyer, Ann Coulter.
My favorite however is the GE inspired psychobabble. Sometimes a ‘friendly GE shrink’ offers on a blog to ‘counsel’ the curious and/or wary. GE has used this ‘crazy’ approach for over a century, beginning with Thomas A. Edison attempting to brand Nicola Tesla, George Westinghouse and AC electricity as nutjobs and killers. TAE, the actual crazed killer, then proceded to electrocute: Topsy the elephant, dogs, cats, monkeys, zebras and convicts.
The apparently criminally insane GE management, attempted this ‘nutjob’ approach on former GE Nuclear Engineering Managers, DALE G. BRIDENBAUGH, RICHARD B. HUBBARD & GREGORY C. MINOR since their circa 1976 testimony, regarding GE Mark 1 containment design defects, before the AEC and congess.
“Most people don’t have a good handle on the risks,” Dr. Fred A. Mettler Jr., professor of radiology at the University of New Mexico and the American representative to a United Nations panel on radiation assessment, said in an interview. “They don’t know the magnitude of the sources, so they don’t know how to put the risks in perspective.”
Given what may appear to be chaotic or incomplete information, people may base their perceptions of atomic risk on a volatile mix of sensational reports and instincts.
“Risk resides mostly as a FEELING,” said Paul Slovic, a pioneer of nuclear psychology at the University of Oregon. “It’s a quick gut reaction often triggered by an image,” especially ones in the movies and on television.

Yuma,AZ has the least amount of fallout from the past and is good choice now. It gets less rain and is in the southern part of the western states. The East coast gets too much rain. Yuma is number one. Pack your bags!

whereever the storm, stream patterns push the jet stream from japan away. The south (LA, MI) did pretty well from what I observed from online research of models, from CTBT and Europe.
Otherwise I think So hemisphere is only hope.
Its like walking a mine field even if you are in Japan or West Coast. "Are you feeling lucky, punk, are you?"
Your neighbor might drink milk like ten babies and then you do some for a while but get yours from a hotspot. Different genetic makeups, so many factors...

No radiation news from Pago Pago, American Samoa, since mid-March. I think Samoa is 'golden' for the foreseeable radionuclide future.
