I grew up in the 1950s when the US was still doing atmospheric nuclear tests in Nevada and I’m sure many in my generation absorbed as much or more radiation in our milk without killing us off.

Excellent way to out this in perspective!

On Google Earth, go to "Sedan Crater, NV". Zoom out a bit, and pan southward down that valley until you reach the dry lake at the southern end.

Try to count all the craters in that valley. You can't -- there are too many... Here's a small sample:

Every one of those craters is the result of a nuclear (or thermonuclear) bomb explosion -- right here on the soil of the good ol' US of A.

If your "entire food supply" is not already "radioactively contaminated indefinitely" from all the radioactivity released from the Nevada Test Site, do you really think that a nuclear powerplant on the other side of the Pacific is going to do so?
