16. Detecting a molecule is easy. Getting harmed by it, not so much.

To get harmed by radiation from Fukushima, you have to be exposed to enough material. How much did they detect?

Oh wait, you don't know. You're again spewing FUD.

And pray tell, how do we go about collecting all the plutonium that HAS been spread from Fuku?

We don't. It's been diluted so much it isn't harmful outside Japan. Much like we didn't dig up all the soil in Europe to collect all the radioactive material from Chernobyl.

And while you at it, tell us just how much plutonium may be in the spent fuel pools at Fuku?

So you can't use a calculator nor Google?

Anyway, your argument is against Senator Wyden

No, actually it isn't. See, you're claiming the disaster is a danger to the entire world, or at best large swaths of the planet. I'm not. Neither is Senator Wyden. He's concerned about the spent fuel pools, and apparently never realized how bad it was.

who I am gonna side with? You, or Wyden?

Perhaps reading Wyden's statement might help you figure that out...since Wyden and I do not disagree.
