(39,166 posts)When you get past the thoroughly uninformed, ignorant, and righteous fear that is the basis for the current antinuclear movement, the emperor has no clothes: it is statistically, by far, the safest form of baseload energy generation. Thousands of times safer than coal and ready right now to start to slow the progression of climate change.
All of the events of the last two and a half years have resulted in exactly zero fatalities, and the hysterical public ignorantly slobbers at the trough of titillating stories generated by the press to generate clicks and sales. Can you tell me exactly what the severity of the workers' exposure is? What the tiny, tiny significance of a puddle of water .1 meters3 in volume is to anyone else in the world? That you'd have to (somehow) suspend yourself within 1cm of the puddle to get the full 1800 mSv/hr dose described in the article? Did you know that radiation in the water was concentrated by the decontamination effort itself, to hundreds of times the intensity of water in the reactor vessel itself, to produce clean water which has been returned to the ocean?
Of course not, because you've blindly accepted the bullshit posted by MSM, for which advertisers line their pockets. If I had this pointed out to me, I'd feel like a real tool.
