While the Fukushima nuclear disaster will always be a big problem for the Japanese, it is definitely NOT the threat to the US or other countries that certain internet outlets are trying to make it.

Good article:

So how much is the NRC paying these days?

Yeah I dunno. As far as I can tell this is a closed-loop biosphere. And seeing as some (read: lots) of radioactive shite was/is/continues to be expelled into the biosphere via both air and ocean current, and that the expelled contaminant has a half-life upwards of 100,000 years…

That's going to create problems. Probably not ELE type problems… but big f*cking problems. What kind of loon would suggest different?

Oh yeh.

big shock. A dude with a vested interest saying "nothing to worry about".

Hey do you think he heard the one about the Italian nuclear scientist losing his knee caps?

Lolz. Laugh? Yeh I'm still f*cking laughing.

Get some f*cking knee armor, dood.

f*cking crackheads.

Everyone always has an opinion...

Only time will tell. Jhikpghf

Hi Birdie, The Japanese are so secretive about their business. I am not sure how anyone is getting any information regarding the status of the nuclear fall-out in Fukushima. It doesn't make sense that whether it is a bad situation or not how anyone can make an assumption with out the facts. As a scholar with a science degree, I know that radiation can travel through the ocean and the air. That doesn't take rocket science to understand that concept.
We don't know how much or what types of radioactive material is burning. It does not seem fair to debunk something where there is no solid facts. I agree that the internet scare regarding the "ticking time bomb," is out of line, however, saying that the US is not affected or will not be affected is also an unrealistic & unknown fact. Only time will tell because Tepco and Japan are not sharing any information at the moment. I do feel that it is very selfish of that country to withhold information when we all share the same ocean and planet.

Excellent post for it being your first. Welcome to LOP.

My hubby is a former nuclear engineer who operated a nuclear reactor (he is now a physician). When the tsunami and Fuku first happened, I was like.."Crap! SHould we be taking radiation pills or something?!" He was not in the least bit concerned. He explained all about nuclear power, and spent fuel, and why it is NOT a problem for US. I stress the "for us" part. We are just too far away, and so the dilution and time that degrades the material that takes place will not present a threat to us - where we are.

Obviously, it is a different story for the Japanese. It is a huge problem for them.

Basically, dosage and proximity is what matters. Here, we have neither.

I wish you were right....but you're not. It won't be long now...

Nuclear Engineer is not Nuclear Chemist.
What kind of physician exactly?

Nobody has the right to pollute the planet like spent fuel does, not even the smallest spot.

**Kill the Matrix**

God, the shillery is so strong.

Why didn't any of these engineers come forward when that "scientist" was lying about Fukushima and spamming an article across 35,000 websites? I don't seem to remember any of these pro-nuke people speaking out about the pro-nuke people who were blatantly spreading lies. It's always the same message, "It's really not a problem."

If it isn't a big deal, then why all the efforts to lie and coverup the disaster? Why isn't the data readily available to the public? If there's no concern for the health and safety of Americans, why are the monitoring stations offline? Ooops. . . it doesn't seem like these are the actions of people who think it's really no big deal.

You know, if you or your husband does this for money, whether directly or indirectly, I can't imagine the f*cking karmic retribution for this. I wonder what would be an appropriate payback, like watching one of your children die a slow agonizing death from cancer or getting thyroid cancer yourself? Seriously, is your career, money, a f*cking minivan more important to you than people's LIVES just because you don't know them?

Are people who shill for the nuke industry really that soul less? Seriously, do you not feel the could grip of evil every time you post these lies?

You do realize that all people who are engaged in these types of deceptions will soon be revealed. How do you think your family, your friends and your neighbors will react knowing you lied about the dangers of children getting cancer for f*cking money?

Thanks Birdie. Just stay away from this place... Banana Doom is the biggest threat to mankind today. Tissue
