Go back to school take, years of science including chemistry, physics anatomy and physiology and then take a specific degreed course in medical uses of radiation as it pertains to humans....then come back and MAYBE I’ll consider you knowledgeable enough to hold a rational discussion. You would still be a green roomie however till you put in a few decades of working with ionizing radiation. Otherwise you are just noise vainly attempting to mask signal.

Well I did take years of science, physics, anatomy and experimented with CS-137 but it wouldn’t matter if I had zero formal training in science and radiation - the average American can participate knowledgeably in discussions regarding Fukushima. “specific degreed course in medical uses of radiation as it pertains to humans” is not impressive. I debated numerous “nuclear engineers” and “radiologic specialists” before I realized that neither had ever realized that their dosimetry calculations are irrelevant to the impact of ionizing radiation on human health. The fact that running dosimetry calucations using bananas and comparing those same calculations using plutonium always resulted in the false appearance of bananas being safer than plutonium. The “experts” never wondered how that could be possible or if maybe the formula was wrong. Some of the engineers were sincere - they learned “dose is dose” and they repeat it by rote. While that might be true when talking about external exposure to nuclear fuel with similar energy levels, its completely false when talking about isotopes like Strontium and Cesium etc.
