16. That would be implied with the word, RADIATION----RADIATE, I'm sorry you didn't pick up on that.

I apologize for the confusion, although, I never implied that radiation was like a bird, flying around on it's own accord.

NATURALLY, PARTICULATE WOULD FLOW WITH THE WIND.

Hence why I said it was carried up with steam, some other made it into the atmosphere after cooling water had been dumped into the sea where it would later evaporate.

THEN IT COMES DOWN WITH RAIN.

Not nearly as much as when the Chinese were testing Nukes? Hmmm, I'd have to look back and research if there were significant increases in miscarriages and deaths, LIKE THERE WERE FOLLOWING THE FUKUSHIMA DISASTER. If after I did that research I found a significantly higher increase in mortality and cancers, then I might agree with you. Until then I'm going to continue to be more concerned with what is happening today, and leave the past to the past.

You seem interested in Radiation, so I'm sure you are aware of the biological effects it can cause. Some phenomena being witnessed along the Pacific is similar to the effects we would expect to see in organisms following uptake of radioactive iodine.

Studies are being done on various species of Bears, fish, seals etc to figure out the cause. I'm not saying it is because of Fukushima, but because of the huge amounts of money involved in protecting the Nuclear industry, I wouldn't expect the MSN to be honest if it was in fact found to be due to Fukushima.

Yes I guess I got confused when you said, "Radiation was (and is being released) and rose with steam rhett o rick Oct 2013 #18
Radiation did in fact rain down, radio-contamination is in fact RADIATION. BethMomDem Oct 2013 #19
