Santo Domingo.- Environment minister Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal yesterday affirmed that airborne with radioactive particles pose no risk to the country, but did caution against what in his view is a high seismic risk.
In press conference together with Health minister Bautista Rojas, the official announced that both departments are on the alert to control and handle substances which may contain dangerous levels of radiations, moving with the waters of the Caribbean Sea, as the treaties of Basil and Cartagena stipulate.
The officials affirmed that there’s no need for alarm in the population from the crisis in Japan’s nuclear reactors sparked by the quake and tsunami.

in case you have not notice, there is something call the atmosphere which we share we our fellow human beings, if radiation is the atmosphere chances are that radiation might end up in DR and the Americas.
Please review Chernobyl Data
We are not prepared for an earthquake nor a tsunami nor for contaminated air so it is ludicrous to suggest we are ...I imagine in such an event it would be everyman for himself and his family and all government officials would be running for their dear lives
Doesn't kill as fast, or make you look funny as do nuclear rads, but will still kill you.
We can't even deal with the jalopies that have invaded our roads and pump out tons of pollutants day in day out; still they talk about handling radio-active substances.
I can´t agree that ¨all government officials would be running for their dear lives¨
Many at the top are already on their overseas rort.
"Please review Chernobyl Data"
And how much radiation from Chernobyl reached the D.R.?
Nothing worse than an "internet expert"!
Many at the top are already on their overseas rort.
They would be running for dear life, if all the money and cocaine lands in the ocean they would nose dive to go get it.
What the hell dose he know about radioactive particles. I will bet anything that the DR dose not even have a radioactive particles monitor.
BUNCH of freaking Clowns....
One can not do a great deal about atmosphere pollution at times (EXCLUDING AUTOMOBILES) but one of a more serious nature exists right in the D.R. medical facilities. Exposure to radiation due to the fact most units are not housed in lead lined walls. I saw a chest x-ray unit with the film holder attached to the WINDOW of the room in a local PUBLIC HOSPITAL. Every time a chest xray was taken and anyone was outside the window/wall got FRIED I do not think there is a full understanding of radiation dangers in the D.R. and thank God there is no Nuclear power plants.
