14. Is Fukushima radiation 'natural'?

It has only been a few months since the fires at Fukushima went out of control. And the fires are still burning. And, like the radiation from sunshine, the 'F' radiation has traveled and will continue to spread over the earth.

Radiation levels across the N. hemisphere are higher now than before Chernobyl and Fukushima. Particles of the heavy metals from both places are now scattered from Japan around the globe to China. And there they sit with half-lives of sometimes 30-200 years.

Surely you are not suggesting that radiation from nuke explosions is as safe as sunshine, are you?
