47. Again...

RobertEarl,

The information that I'm passing along is from Dr. Richard Muller, Physics Professor at the University of California - Berkeley and author of "Physics for Future Presidents". Professor Muller teaches the course at UCB that is Physics for non-science majors. He has an excellent way of getting technical information explained to non-scientists.

Neither Dr. Muller nor I deny that there are areas of Fukushima Prefecture that are higher in radiation levels than Denver. The area close to the plant is certainly higher in radiation than Denver.

What Dr. Muller points out is that there are areas of Fukushima Prefecture that have radiation levels that are one-third of what one finds in Denver. People in Denver are living healthy lives in those radiation levels. Dr. Muller isn't saying that all of Fukushima Prefecture should be open. He just points out that there are areas of Fukushima that the Japanese authorities have closed due to radiation levels, when the levels in Denver are 3 times higher and we don't close Denver because the radiation is all caused by Mother Nature.
