  I work in the nuclear industry- inside operating plants ( two so far this year)- the plutonium naysayers had better never suffer a personal contamination event from even one teensy particle of plutonium. I hope you have lung cancer insurance. Eating/drinking anything that is contaminated by even low level fallout of certain isotopes could invite an early death from cancer. Would you move to a state that has cesium 137 contaminated food/milk, if it was above the safe FDA levels?

  05/02/2011 06:22 3.45 0.52±0.05- highest level of Bq/L Cesium 137 measured in organic milk from Bay area of California after Fukushima plant explosion
  [MDA=0.10]

  04/09/2012--0.141±0.015
  [MDA=0.045]

  The radiation has gone up almost 3x higher in a year.- that organic milk you bought a few weeks ago at Trader Joes in San Franciso could now be almost 2x above the FDA limit where you need to take "precautions"= don't drink it, to be safe.

  Jgnat- those moderate presentations fail to account for human behavior- the stampede of people from radiation dangers would collapse the local economy and in turn ruin the profits of corporations. You won't find the moneyed fatcats living near that radiation, but they will try to convince everyone else that it is safe to stay in the area and keep working for them in their factories and businesses.

  Translated commentary from a Tokyo TV news story a few weeks ago about the dangers of an earthquake before the spent fuel can be moved- (completed in 2015, if you believe the optimists)

  TAMAKAWA [4:57] What if a destructive earthquake strikes during those years?

  KOIDE [5:03] That will be the end. TAMAKAWA: The end? KOIDE: Yes. You see, that will be the end.

  [5:04 - 5:07] Reaction shot of news presenters]

  PRESENTERS [5:08] Unbelievable. Unbelievable. [5:12] This is a serious problem.

  TAMAKAWA [5:14] TEPCO knows this is the most pressing issue. Yesterday, as if to make it in time for our program, TEPCO announced the latest schedule. [5:22] It says they start retreiving the fuel rods of Unit 4 in January next year at the earliest. [5:27] So if a large earthquake should strike from now until that January... [5:35] No, it doesn't have to be that large. Unit 4 has been shaken many times already.

  PRESENTER [5:39] If the pool got cracks after another earthquake and the water starts to leak out, Dr. Koide says that will be the end.

  TAMAKAWA [5:49] The end for a wide area including Tokyo. ( a three hour drive away)

  Do you ever wonder IF there was/is a God this would even be a discussion?
