A study on Fukushima was published in the May 20 2011 issue of the journal Science, it said: " Radiation exposure levels for most people were elevated so minutely above background that it may be impossible to tease out carcinogenic effects from other risk factors, such as smoking or diet." We know from studies of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki A-bomb survivers that those who got 100 millisieverts of radiation had a 1.05 increased risk of developing some form of cancer at some time during the next 70 years of their life, but in Fukushima nobody except plant workers received more than 40 millisieverts, and only a few who lived very close to the plant got even that much. > you come across as Dr. Strangelove > The true Dr. Strangelove are environmentalists who claim they can keep the 7 billion people on this planet alive even after abandoning nuclear power and fossil fuel using nothing but hummingbirds and moonbeams and wishful thinking.
