Fukushima Has Farted

Dude, that's funny..... But then, M wierd too!
 
:surprise: At first I thought that was squallumz then I thought it was something else being smelt.

Now I can breathe easier knowing it was just Fukushima.:drool2:

Why did you say "Fuck You to Shima" and why did he fart? :facepalm:

It takes very little plutonium to kill you if you breathe it in. Microgram amounts can cause cancer when airborne plutonium is inspired. Some will stay inside the lungs and irradiate the individual over time. Death is not immediate, but is certain. And it usually isn't a very "clean" passing - if that can be said of any form of death. As plutonium isn't metabolized well, little of it would be absorbed if it was eaten, but airborne materials are a primary hazard at manufacturing facilities where this stuff is worked.

Still misinformed WTCWTF.

Fukushima now worse than Chernobyl by a long shot. There is plutonium released which kills instantly.

Sir, how has the Chernobyl disaster negatively affected your life?
The truth of the matter is, no source of energy is completely safe because within each disaster/mishap, mankind learns better not what to do for the next generation of nuclear power plants. Before long I think that we'll have this genie secure in its bottle, don't you?

Have you read about Bill Gates and his huge investment in the future of nuclear energy resources? I suggest that you do if you haven't.

Also: Search ''Thorium Reactor'' in you research if you so dare. :cool:

Obviously you haven't researched the amount of cancer and contamination from the fallout of Chernobyl. Nuclear power is unsafe and has been proven unsafe over many disasters, Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, Simi Valley California, Fukushima just to name a few. You believe the lies of the nuclear industry? The truth is with new clean coal technologies the coal plants are so clean they can basically clean the air around them. Coal is the way but it is demonized by the lies of global warming (carbon tax) fanatics.
 
Get real ... even the New York Times spelled it out ...

As I posted in another thread, the May 3rd New York Times article (which is hardly a right-wing paper) is quite absolute on how much people should know (and God do I hope they do) ...

Well, if you read the New York Times (not exactly a hotbed of right-wing material, quite the opposite), you'd know what most of us who paid attention in physics already know ...

"Drumbeat of Nuclear Fallout Fear Doesn’t Resound With Experts"
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/03/science/03radiation.html

And if you're too lazy to read the article like you were too lazy to study in high school physics (or study enough to take it), this graphic is a great "cheat sheet" to the reality of the world we live in.
"Sources of Radiation"
http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2011/05/03/science/03radiation_graphic.html

If you can't read graphs, can't help you there. There's only so many ways things can be presented. ;)

As always, three (3) things to take away:

1. Medical exposure and, in the case of waste disposal, by-product are, by far, the biggest danger to most everyone. This includes several, accidental deaths of serious conditions to individuals who came into contact with improperly disposed medical equipment. The mass number of devices out there are also another reason why more long-term, nuclear storage facilities are required, but often go even less properly addressed than for nuclear power (see #3).

2. Past nuclear weapons airburst testing is, by far, the most intentional release that continues to cause all sorts of issues and complications for the planet. And there is still a gross under-reporting of accidents, conditions and even deaths due to weapons research.

3. Nuclear power is hardly the main issue from both a release and waste standpoint, given the low radioactive nature of the materials and by-products compared to weapons or even nominal, medical usage or aging devices that need to be disposed of. They can be safely encased for long-term storage, and places like Yucca Mountain were designed for such (now embroiled in a "states rights" argument where Nevada took the money and ran behind the Constitution).

But yes, in select ranges, background radiation is actually helpful more than harmful. This was shown in the case of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, at a select distance and exposure. But in reality, the range is very narrow, as the body can only take in a select dose, which neutralizes just the right type and amount of organisms that the body can (and in many cases, should) do without.

I mean, there are reasons chemotherapy and other treatments are used. The body's ability to absorb and repair itself from all sorts of chemical and radiological intake while other cells and organisms in the body are targeted are why the treatment exists. The problem is always how much the body can take while it is selective targeted, which varies from individual to individual, sickness to sickness. Radiation is used because it works, doing exactly that, killing, selectively.
