Frustration!

I just looked at the Wall Street Journal poll asking:

How concerned are you about radiation from the Japanese nuclear disaster reaching the U.S? 

Then the bar chart is shown which shows 68% are unconcerned, 16.7% somewhat concerned, and 16.5% seriously concerned. 

This data is in the news feed today March 28th. The date of the article is March 18th. My questions is why this old news in the feed today. I had to really look to find the date of the article. It was way at the top in tiny print.

We are getting bombarded with articles about people who love nuclear reactors. Media and the industry are still equating the level of radiation with the health danger. The industry knows full well people, children especially and women, will not begin to have serious health issues for a year to five years. Then exposed individuals for the next twenty years will drop like flies from cancer.

It is not the amount of radiation that is just one measurement that is important. At distances low level radiation is the harbinger of deadly radionuclide particulates that kill if they find their way into the lung, and create major health issues if ingested.

Today it was released that plutonium was found around the site. This is not surprising considering the explosion involving spent fuel rods from 2 reactors. What is surprising is that the "authorities" are only now releasing the information.

Tons of material containing varying amounts plutonium were involved in the first two explosions. It is accepted that a 1/4 lb of plutonium broken down in its smallest form and placed in the lung has the potential to kill every man woman and child on the face of the Earth.

Ingested radionuclides and exposure to radiation is passed as a cumulative poison from one generation to the next. It binds to DNA and settles in the reproductive organs.

What anyone does, is their choice. However nuclear electrical generation is a deception played on the public to utilize stores of war materials at this point. It makes no sense. Unless it is your intention to seriously thin out the human population and weaken the human species which is most susceptible. 

Personally I think of it as a trespass. The nuclear industry is releasing manmade lethal (for centuries) radio nuclides into the air and water. My children and your children are being exposed. They are not working on a sub or in a generation plant they are sleeping in their beds breathing air.
