The fate of America's only nuclear plant under construction will be decided Thursday

Okay, I asked you an earnest question, and you wanted to get tough instead.

I said I don’t care about you, but that I’d prefer you not start plaguing me with your A.D.D. and keyboard macho.

I’ll say so long now, and won’t so much as read a post of yours, all right?

Beyond that I will start hitting the abuse button, unless you can suggest some other way to shut you up.

Again, best to you.

Maybe you should stop eating fish caught at a nuclear accident site?

But I can't help but notice the fish was alive when caught.

The article also goes on to say that only two other fish were above the safe limit and:
The rest of the fish were reportedly within safety limits.

You also fail to mention that the other two fish weren't even over Europe's safety limit.

So you go on hyperventilating over three fish caught where no one in the right mind would be fishing anyway. No one should take anything you say seriously.

Some worship technology even if it has bad results. They just can’t imagine that the human mind can invent and create something that they really should not have.

I guess.

It’s sort of a religion type thing with some people.

The nuclear industry set the false safety limit - not the medical profession. According to cutting edge medical research, there is no safe dose. Exposure is cummulative, ingestion means continuous exposure and even small amounts increase risk of cancers and the countless other nuke related illness. The nuke industry set the dosage higher to suit its needs and when Fukushima blew up and melted down, they raised safety limits to match those of annual rates for nuke workers.

I think they worship the sense of power it gives them. The government will protect the nuke industry and that’s a cozy spot to be in. The government will give them money and cover for them. I went to the US nuke industry website in the days after Fukushima and it was superiority “Tsk tsk tsk....now the benighted ignorant public will be even more confused....”
In return the nuke industry poses itself as “the enlightened” so yes, your wise insight is correct - it’s their religion.

If you had read the article you would know the facts. The levels are not dangerous.

No safe limit? Ever get an x-ray? Fly? Ever hear of cosmic ray’s? Don’t go to Guarapari, Brazil. In fact, has it ever occurred to you to check the natural background radiation of the places you frequent?

You seem to think the earth is a pristine, radiation-free zone except for the activities of man. It isn’t, you are constantly taking a bath in radiation and couldn’t survive without it.

You are delusional, inventing your own little world that has nothing to do with reality so you can carry on with your sad little crusade and feel self-righteous.

You think everyone else in the world is wrong and only you can see the truth. You need therapy.

No safe limit? _______________ Right. Ever get an x-ray?______________ Yes. I'm required to sign a medical waiver stating that I understand the exposure to radiation will result in an increase of medical risk (cancer) and that I must weigh the benefits of the x-ray with the "cost" of medical risk. Fly?___________________________ Yes. Stewardesses on international flights have increased breast cancer risk per a study but generally such studies are suppressed. Some flyers are aware of increased medical risk of flight and now of TSA screening equipment Ever hear of cosmic ray’s? __________________ Yes. Unavoidable. But nuclear industry digs up radioactive material that start off far enough away underground to be of extrememly limited background risk, refines it to be far more concentrated, and then blows it into the environment via water, air and land. Once in the environment, the nuclear industry has vastly increased the hazard posed by isotopes, particularly now that they can be ingested. So nuke industry took an unavoidable background risk and put it in our food, water and air in vastly greater concentrations. ____________________Don’t go to Guarapari, Brazil. In fact, has it ever occurred to you to check the natural background radiation of the places you frequent? Background radiation is unavoidable and I can, if I choose, look up regions with higher radiation and choose to avoid them. The nuclear industry creates unacceptable hazards which are 100% avoidable. That take it from deep underground and put it into the air, food, water we ingest which makes it far more hazardous. Far more hazardous. ________________You seem to think the earth is a pristine, radiation-free zone except for the activities of man. Never said it, never thought it. ________________It isn’t, you are constantly taking a bath in radiation and couldn’t survive without it. Humanity would live longer and healthier lives if the nuke industry hadn't been blanketing the earth with refined radioactive waste. __________________You are delusional, inventing your own little world that has nothing to do with reality so you can carry on with your sad little crusade and feel self-righteous. Stock straw-man tripe response provided by nuke shills who insist I say and think things I do not say and think. What is most intriguing and disgusting is the total lack of conscience and accountability and competence shown by the nuke industry and their shills. _____________You think everyone else in the world is wrong and only you can see the truth. You need therapy. Again stock straw-man ad hominem attacks that are standard issue in the nuke industry (you're just phoning it in). Objecting to nuclear power plant waste being flushed into the atmosphere at 300 tons per day after 3 nuclear plant melt downs is deemed "crazy" by those who literally profit and take their ego from the nuclear power industry. Bizarre insistence that I couldn't live without it...well that's near the bottom of the lows although there was one nuke shill who hinted we should be grateful for free radiation treatments - really!
