Japan’s Fukushima plant faces danger of overheating

31. So? That was long after they shut down.

It's hard to accept that you still don't "get" this stuff after years of east explanations. A shut down reactor still has to deal with decay heat which, for the first several days, is more than enough in the absence of sufficient cooling,to cause the core to overheat and melt down - as well as putting out hydrogen that can explode violently in the wrong circumstances.

I can tell you love to get personal with people who are just concerned about their health.

Not at all. I love pulling people out of unknowing ignorance. Anyone in the US "concerned about their health" from Fukushima should be more concerned with improving their understanding of basic scientific/medical concepts and/or their mental health rather than physical well-being.

But to continue on and on and on, making excuses for the 'nukes are safe' position must be wearing you down?

Not at all. Rebutting your nonsense takes remarkably little effort. It isn't as though I'm the one that needs to invent entirely new realities to magically connect Fukushima to anything that happens to be in the news today. I just need to repeat simple truths and laugh at your attempts at spinning them. There isn't close to enough heat produced by even an active reactor to warm up the pacific (or any significant portion of it)... there isn't enough radiation from Fukushima in the Pacific to harm anyone (let alone mysteriously kill off starfish and larger sea life)... It isn't possible for the cores to still be active all these years later without producing massive un-hide-able amounts of radio-iodine - and since none has been detected, there are no active cores. Etc...etc...etc.

Not wearisome at all... quite simple really. It's your nonsensical positions that take such... well... let's just say "an active imagination".
