where did you get that numbers. probably bad usage of the false no threshold linear law, that green abuse despite it is proved false since long.
the estimated death toll, taking into account - the fast response - the facts that even the worst evacuated zone don't cause more tha 30mSv/year and that small long term effect start from 200mSv fast dose for adult, and 100mSv fast dose for kids - the fact that only few workers get less than 1Sv (level where short terme effet appears, better cured today that in the 50s), about 600mSv - the fact that in tchernobyl the main health problem where family violence, alcoolism, suicide, caused by stress of moving, and fear or radiation, with a rate of 1000 suicide, plus violences... - the fact that the main radiation death were 10-20% of the few hundred suicide firemen that receive many Sv, yet survive (if you survive after 2 month, the only risk then are cancer, but about 15%more cancer per sievert) - then few of the thousands of kids with 131iode inudced thyroid cancer (amplified by late evacuation, and malnutrition ) is 0 in the population because of radiation (no effect, even hormesis to be expected) 0.1 in the workers because of the cancer induced (1Sv induce 5% death by cancer, 600mSv much less, few workers concerned) many thousands of suicide because of traumatic syndrome, linked to tsunami, death of all their family (28000 dead because of living near the sea. we should shutdown the sea), forced evacuation and moving,loss of their jobs and family history ans possesions... many more thousands dead because alcoholism and family violence. maybe the death toll, of fukushima but much even more of the tsunami, could be reduced by cleaning the zone, occupying the victims in that big heroic mission, and then letting them settle back when they feel safe. it seems to be what they are doing, cleaning , measuring dose, even thinking about robotized farming in the tsunami washed zone. when numbers will be published people will understand that the fear is over... anyway nuke will be dead, because lenr is cheaper. sorry to be rough, but here we can talk of scientific data rejected by the media, yet validated by peer review. 2012/1/28 Mark Goldes <[email protected]> > > ________________________________________ > From: Mark Goldes > Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2012 9:55 AM > To: Yamali Yamali > Subject: RE: [Vo]:Putting the nuclear debate into perspective > > The eventual death toll from Fukushima is estimated to reach as high as > one million.
