1. Good points- I also worked with nuclear materials and don't fear radiation

But that’s my familiarity and my income derived from it so I had a vested interest in not being fearful ☺️. To your point about the computer time and energy spent discussing the relative dangers of Fukushima- it applies to all topics and I wonder how much effort I spend in a year reading DU, writing, recc’ing, doom scrolling on any number of sites.
Maybe I need to make it a resolution to reduce my screen time from a purely “green” perspective- let alone mental health! Not to give up DU at all because that is actually good for my state of mind and I do learn so much from people like you!
