(13,685 posts)Go back and look at what the readings are for plutonium from Fukushima all the way around the world in Lithuania.
You claim from an anonymous link that is almost 2 years old there was just 2 grams of plutonium released from Fukushima, and I showed you a REAL SCIENCE based article that says plutonium released from Fukushima was so much that it showed up half way around the world.
Yeah, we know you think radiation releases are trivial. So trivial that you argue Denver is as radiated as Fukushima. Yet Art, who lives near there told you you don't know what you are talking about and you just ignored him like you ignored the plutonium in the REAL SCIENCE article I posted.

"For example, here, about 500 feet above sea level 100 miles south of the Dai-ichi complex, the natural radiation level is about 0.09 to 0.1 microsievert per hour. Converted into millisieverts per year (the usual unit used for Denver), that would be approximately 0.7-0.8 millisievert, compared to 10 millisieverts of radon as an annual dose in Denver. However, this map and accompanying graph, which were compiled from February 2013 data, show that there are many hotspots in Fukushima that have much higher radiation levels than Denver (shown with red or darker squares in the map). The hottest spot is the Ottozawa district of Okuma Town, which is still registering more than 30 microsieverts per hour-- which is more than 300 times higher than the ambient radiation level in my city, and more than 26 times higher than the annual dose in Denver."
Plutonium from Fukushima found in Lithuania, Pam. What do you think about that?
