Should we be worried? (Re: Radiation fallout)

And decades of research proving a strong link between obsesity generally, and consumption of junk food (lack of produce, excess processed fats and grains) and development of cancer (as well as heart disease, diabetes, and more) turns out (according to you) to have been a massive conspiracy to decieve created by the all powerful Nuclear Industry.

I mean, just look at the Nuclear Industry. How powerful. How many new plants have been built. They are an unstoppable force that is steamrolling all democracy and will crush and poison all before it.

Thank you for showing me the light. I can't believe I was duped by listening to SO MANY so-call experts. MARIS knows all.

 

So much dis-information here it's futile to try to bring you up to date. Rather than continuing to defend a dead horse, try getting yourself up to date on what has transpired. You could also do some research into the actual dangers of nuclear power, since you seem to only know the standard BS diversions and fairy tales the industry provides.

 

I don't expect the government to save us from exposure. Obviously that's impossible. This is not deliberate endangerment like the US tests of the 50's and 60's, which exposed our entire 160 million citizens to radiation over and over for years.

But they could be honest with us, which they are not. They could admit Americans in the future will probably die from cancers due to the contamination which will fall on our land and be consumed by livestock and then by people through their food.

They could provide accurate information instead of parroting the industry nonsense wrongly stating that getting the equivalent of a year's dose of radiation in one hour is no more harmful than getting it spread out over a year. Try applying that logic next time you cook dinner or get a suntan.

Maybe you need to look under your bed for the boogeyman, because he's real in this instance, and he's your boss. It's clear this government serves the military industrial compex, and nobody else.

 

Military industrial complex = japanese power plants?

 

You know what's comical; leading edge research into mind-body process is proving that individuals can really be "scared to death" and that emotions play an important part in much illness.

So, while nutjob conspiracy spewers, and politically motivated scaremongers, may think they are "saving the world", it is not so far fetched to make the claim that they are the true danger; they are the ones causing real harm, real damage, real illness and death.

Good for them if that was their goal.

 

Here's a current example of how decisions are made to determine what is "safe" exposure:

Workers struggled on Tuesday and Wednesday to keep hundreds of gallons of seawater a minute flowing through temporary fire pumps into the three stricken reactors, Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Among the many problems that officials acknowledged on Wednesday was what appeared to be yet another fire at the plant and indications that the containment vessel surrounding a reactor may have ruptured. That reactor, No. 3, appeared to be releasing radioactive steam.

The workers are being asked to make escalating — and perhaps existential — sacrifices that so far are being only implicitly acknowledged: Japan’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that it was raising the legal limit on the amount of radiation exposure to which each worker could be exposed, to 250 millisieverts from 100 millisieverts, five times the maximum exposure permitted for nuclear plant workers in the United States.

The change means that workers can now remain on site longer, the ministry said. “It would be unthinkable to raise it further than that, considering the health of the workers,” the health minister, Yoko Komiyama, said at a news conference.

They just measure the exposure and set a limit that is higher. They literally just make this garbage up as they go along.

Tokyo Electric Power, the plant’s operator, has said almost nothing at all about the workers, including how long a worker is expected to endure exposure.

The few details Tokyo Electric has made available paint a dire picture. Five workers have died since the earthquake and 22 more have been injured for various reasons, while two are missing. One worker was hospitalized after suddenly grasping his chest and finding himself unable to stand, and another needed treatment after receiving a blast of radiation near a damaged reactor. Eleven workers were injured in a hydrogen explosion at reactor No. 3.

The plume struck Portland 2 hours ago, at 2 am New York Times time. Here it is right before.

 

Now that was a deep thought. You're right, radiation is good for us.

Reagan said, always think of the silver lining. Think of the Japanese who got their cancerous cells killed by all the radiation in the air. Maybe you should patent this new medical technology.

Most experts interviewed on the news networks worry about the same things as Maris.

 

LOL

 

Japan has now raised the threat level to 5.

Down to their last hope of preventing world-wide destruction on a scale never before known.

They will try to bury it.

Japanese citizens are now certain their government is lying to them and they are attempting to flee the country.

 

There are currently 100 workers at the plant who are performing what everyone admits is a suicide mission. They are expected to die for their futile efforts. To prevdent lawsuits and incriminations, the government has arbitrarily raised the supposed "safe" level of exposure 500%.

The bigger danger is the widespread fallout polluting the entire Earth and the millions of deaths in the upcomming decades.

 

Yeah, well, there has long been thought to be a slightly positive effect of low dose radiation exposure.

Low dose = healthful for many
Moderate dose = harmful for many
High dose = harmful for most

Is that so hard to comprehend?

In health, medicine vs. poision is in the dose.

Why can't we see noticebly increased cancers in very high elevation towns? Or towns with extra high levels of radon? Or among pilots?
