(28,688 posts)92. You do seem to rely on those straw men, don't you?
So you can forget all the radiation still spewing from Fukushima due to a bad graphic
Nope. The incredibly tiny amount "spewing" can certainly be ignored by people living outside of the immediate area (though no because of a bad graphic)... but that obviously wasn't the point. It was that readers can safely disregard as unreliable any source that continues to pump the intentionally fraudulent hoax that the graphic represents. The author is either a knowing part of the fraud or is so ignorant on the subject that his opinion is worth less than zero (that is... it hurts your understanding rather than helps it)
Doesn't work for me.
Of course it doesn't. You couldn't believe the nonsense that you continually pump on the issue unless you had such sources... because those types of sites are the only ones pumping the FUD that you feed on.
Nor does the official censorship on the subject.
Just like the aliens/chemtrails/HAARP/etc. nonsense. The truth is out there... it just isn't being covered in the mainstream media because the government is covering it up. Right? In fact... the lack of coverage is itself proof that the (CT of the day) is actually happening!
That was from the day of the earthquake
Right... and it actually remains closer to the truth than the nonsense that Gundersen/Caldicott/Busby/etc. were pumping at the time (and continue to pump). The difference is that the NEI updated their analysis as events proceeded. Let's take a look at some material from the same source that you neglected to paste:
Do you remember Grossman correcting any of that nonsense? I certainly don't.
Still waiting on those massive steam explosions. Surely those cores won't take more than five years to burn down to the water table that's just below the plant, right?
meltdowns which weren't even admitted for months.
Which, of course, is nonsense. "Meltdown" just means that fuel has been damaged. They "admitted" that virtually instantaneously. I remember that I was correcting that error a least back to a couple days after the earthquake.
It is undemocratic and immoral to stop discussion of this vital information.
Nobody is doing that. What's actually immoral is allowing ignorance and lies to rule the day when the facts can be easily corrected. That's all I've done since day one... but you can't live with that. Can you?

In such an accident, the core of nuclear fuel, which in less than a minute can reach 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, burns through the cement bottom of the nuclear plant and bores into the earth. This is what U.S. nuclear scientists have dubbed the China syndromebased on a nuclear plant on their side of the planet undergoing an accident seemingly sending its white-hot core in the direction of China.
In fact, the radioactive core doesntin any locationgo to China but it descends to the water table underlying a plant. Then, in a violent reaction, molten core and cold water combine, creating steam explosions and releasing a plume of radioactive poisons.

OP
this could be all of us unless we figure out much better ways to generate electricity soon.

although the Reagan is a nuke carrier it does not say that it was a result of the ship itself

You're arguing with someone who lacks even a 6th-grade grasp of physics.
