Comparing ingestion to a CT scan is NOT a valid comparison! ..and if your really want some facts then know that 1 in 270 people who get a CT scan each year will get cancer as a direct result. (look it up) It was proven in 1970 that x-rays of the pelvis of pregnant women caused an huge increase in childhood leukemia’s. So we don’t do that anymore. Before 1970 it was standard procedure paid for by insurance. We know better now. We will soon know even more, unfortunately, thanks to Fukushima. People don’t need to panic, they need to become angry at people who talk down to others with their arrogance!

So okay, lets say you ONLY eat spinach. (probably not healthy) What if you have dairy products too along with your seafood. Sooner or later this adds up. If it’s on the spinach then it’s in the surface water too. EPA is NOT doing their job!

The half life of Cesium is 30 years which means in reality it remains ‘hazardous’ for 200 plus years.

btw – I have a degree in Physics too.

Quite simply, there isn’t presently any technology to dispose of nuclear waste or reprocess the spent fuel, so it is typical for a facility to retain all of this on-site. As it happens, about 60 percent of the spent fuel from the entire 40 year history of the 6-reactor Fukushima site is packed into a single Common Storage Pool building behind reactor #4. It’s a tenth facility that is only now being discussed, and is certainly not an acceptable risk lying so close to one of the world’s great cities.
