Phuck-You- Shima Dai'ichi Disaster

Alarming to be sure! What's interesting about virtually all exposures to radioactive waste is that there's NO safe dosage. The only distinctions to be drawn are between LESS harmful and MORE harmful exposures. The leakage into the sea of 300+ tons of highly lethal Strontium-90 and Cesium-137 contaminated water from the three damaged/destroyed Fukushima Dai'ichi reactors represents a global calamity with no apparent solution. To say nothing of the much more dangerous Plutonium-239 contained in deadly abundance within the reactor cores, and no doubt still being widely emitted into the atmosphere. The overall ecological impact is much like what happened at Chernobyl in 1986 and afterward. Thus, there's no need to worry, since worry, in the absence of a potential solution, is the most futile of all emotions. Best to just wait for eventual radiation sickness, eat a lot of miso, and smile at Death as he makes his gradual way across the Pacific. And oh, make sure to stay away from that Pacific blue-fin tuna. Anybody who tries to tell me that nuclear fission generated electric power is an indispensable part of our energy equation has, figuratively speaking of course, a corpse in his/her mouth. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2013/08/22/national/rate-of-radioactive-flow-to-pacific-alarming/ https://www.commondreams.org/headline/2013/08/10-0
