Apparently lots of FReepers have forgotten that the US detonated dozens of A and H bombs in the Pacific about 60 years ago. Shouldn’t we all have died from that?

Do you really think that no one has died from that? Just because it doesn’t happen at the snap of your fingers. Reactor meltdowns are far worse in terms of fallout than nuclear bombs however. Compare Chernobyl to Hiroshima. Obviously there is very little comparison since people are living in Hiroshima.

Russia and the United States also have several nuclear powered submarines at the bottom of the oceans completer with their reactor cores slowly corroding away.

There are more than a few nuclear warheads down there too.

How many times are we dead now?

Between 1945 and 1998 there were 2053 Nuclear Explosions around the world. Heck, from 1945 to 1955 the US alone detonated 69 nuclear explosions.

A Time-Lapse Map of Every Nuclear Explosion Since 1945 - by Isao Hashimoto

Going by public perception of what Nuclear explosions do to the environment, most of the continents and a certain parts of the ocean should all be glowing at night.

Most of the US explosions were done on the WEST COAST of the US. Everyone there should be dead.

Not to mention the 974 nuclear explosions my state endured.
