China and Greenpeace vs scientists. I’ll believe the scientists everytime.

I was there during the disaster and I’ll just say that radiation is terrifying. You know that it’s all around you, but you can’t sense it in any way. That’s a special kind of fear.

You’re talking to a disabled person. You’re just doing a different sort of fear-mongering.

I know all of that, but thank you for sharing it anyway. To be honest, you did. Your wording implied that I wasn’t one of those so severely impacted or that I somehow didn’t understand the gravity of the situation for the elderly and disabled.
I know that wasn’t your intention, but it’s an emotional subject for me.

if you ask these people what background radiation is they mostly just stare at you with huge bambi eyes.
To make it clear: it’s common practice to put water for cooling nuclear plants back in the watersource. The “feared” molecules Tritium and carbon-14 are common in this waste water. In lower concentrations, but thats the reason they dilute the water. That’s something China and South Korea do every day!
“Alot of people [who dont know what they are talking about] are not happy”
well… there are these huge floating fortresses in the ocean right now… every day the people working on the reactor they will do a complex math problem… everyday the answer is the same… dilution is the solution… and proceeded to dump contaminated water into the ocean.
gotta love the war machine
