What do you want me to do? Divine how dangerous the radiation is by staring at a damaged building? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?
There are Geiger counters hooked up all over Japan to the Internet. You can check out how much radiation there is in Japan by searching "Japan Geiger Map".
Nowhere outside the exclusion zone has anything significant. Of course you'll need to learn what a Sievert is.
A small amount of alcohol is harmless, too much will kill you. Same goes for radaition.
This really is just an argument scraped off of the pavement. It's a parrot like argument with little understanding of the facts.
Civil nuclear power is safer than fire, electricity, gasoline and water. Loads of people drown every year. People are killed in fires, people get electrocuted, people get killed in road traffic accidents. These hazards are all around us. Exclude Soviet RBMK reactors and Nuclear doesn't kill anyone. Include them and it's still exceptionally safe.
@Azazaazazazza Fair comment, but again, what do we do with the waste? store it in the reactors as Japan was doing?
Nuclear power is a killer industry and those who run it know damn well the outrageous risks they are taking with peoples lives. There is absolutely no safe dose of radiation period.
Nuclear power is so risk averse that more people die from coal and hydro electricity. In the 70s a damn collapse killed over 100,000 people. Nuclear is up to 4,000 including Chernobyl according to the United Nations IAEA.
No safe dose of radiation? How about the amount your exposed to now, naturally? Seriously, go read about these things before commenting. In particular there is growing feeling that Linear No Threshold Radiation Model isn't accurate.
They stand fine as comments, but they're not true.
Seriously, there's a world of knowledge and information out there if you can be bothered to go research it. There's lots of reliable and unbiased information about deaths for different power sources. There's also information about radiation. I can't recommend enough about hearing an expert talk about radiation.
Search for "Horizon Nuclear Nightmares" on youtube and watch what the Docs and Professors have to say about it.
@Azazaazazazza Go take a look at those craters in japan and i mean a close look. Come back and tell me radiation is safe. Common sense will prevail or we will sucumb to the next so called safe nuclear reactor that is destroyed by a natural or other disaster.
@PacificCircle1 Look at the link in the video description. You'll see the proof that modern reactors automatically cool down when power is lost or a meltdown scenario occurs.
What you are referring to is the theory of how nuclear power is "suppose" to work. Scientist's around the world are very careful to never use the words "ALWAYS" and "IMPOSSIBLE", because the science behind nuclear power is jus as unpredictable as mother nature itself. The problem with people is that we create these uncertain certainties in the world - then realize we put our eggs in the wrong basket when its too late. Google "Jaque Fresco" and get certain about our only future.

I would advise those who would like to know about the nuclear power industry and the insane people running it to read this Canadian report.

Nuclear power is not intrinsically safe, period.
Ask yourself this,
What do they do with the waste from these so called safe plants?

@Azazaazazazza You have made your point and I rest my case. My comments stand.

Offer no proof. Any producing heat can over heat.

Where on earth did you get the idea that nuclear science is unpredictable?? I'm just astonished.
