IT RADIATES FROM CONTAMINATED PARTICLES!!!!!!!!!

Why ask a question to critique a response? That is just looking for conflict. I try to go the constructive route, after all I don't need everyone to view me as a divisive foe.

Getting into these semantic arguments is a waste of time, especially when the information presented remains relevant in the end.

Fallout from fushushima is the worst the world has every seen. To deny that it will cause long lasting biological effects is to assume that everything we know and understand about radiation and biology is completely WRONG.

It's kind of like the Australians following the British testing of nukes in Australia. "NO IT COULDN'T HURT YOU. NO THAT CANCER IS ABSOLUTELY NOT FROM OUR TESTING, NO NO NO ITS A DEAD ZONE BECAUSE THE SPAGHETTI MONSTER DEEMED IT NECESSARY, TOTALLY NOT LINKED TO OUR TESTING"bLA BLA BLA BLA BLA.
