(28,678 posts)I can't count how many times you've been told that:
1 - There was no spent MOX in the unit 3 pool. MOX had first been loaded to the unit at the last refueling outage and thus made up 1/3 of the core inventory... but would not have entered the pool as spent fuel for at least another three years.
2 - All spent reactor fuel has plutonium in it. That's where the stuff comes from. The spots with the highest amounts of plutonium would have been the joint cooling pool and the pool in unit 4 (now removed).
Why I bring this is up: This is information about Fukushima and plutonium that people have a right to know, yet is what the press and governments of the United States and Japan apparently want people to forget.
Nobody needs for people to forget that... it just isn't relevant at all to Fukushima. Another fact that you've been immune to is that there was virtually no release of plutonium from Fukushima (and none at all from the spent fuel pools) and the existing inventory of plutonium in the environment (from nuclear testing and, to a lesser extent, from Chernobyl) is many MANY times larger than the release from Fukushima. People should understand the dangers of plutonium (though they can safely ignore the Calidicotts and Busbys of the world on the subject), but they don't need to know it in relation to Fukushima.
You continually spam the same three sources despite being shown over and over again that they do not demonstrate significant levels of plutonium from Fukuhima. Hilariously... you also regularly claim that you're open to correction.
So let's give that another test since we wouldn't want your avoidance to effectively censor the truth - You've now had pointed out to you clearly that your multi-spammed source re: plutonium in birds was a study where all of the data was collected pre-Fukushima. Do you or do you not now accept that it was invalid every single time that you used it to demonstrate worldwide plutonium contamination from Fukushima? Yes or no?
