No, I'm not questioning the logic of dilution. (Although we are now learning that the solution to pollution is not dilution).

If that is what you were referring to as "internet hysteria" then I sit corrected.

And no I do not think that the concentration of uranium (or cesium or plutonium, etc.) in a rod is the same as a cloud.

However, it does not take the radiation levels concentrated in a rod to wreak havoc in a body.

Unless I misunderstand, you are claiming that Arnie Gunderson et al are spreading "internet hysteria." I have asked for your source that their claims are internet hysteria. What specifically are they stating that is incorrect?

And I ask you again to provide for us the distance cesium would travel in a cloud, since as I wrote above, I do not have training in that field.
