This is why nuclear energy is dangerous.So is
coal...
So is
oil...
Your point? Or are you just afraid of Nuclear power?
You do realize if a major meltdown happens like Chernobyl (which Fukushima is heading towards), the effects can last decades, centuries, or even millennia, there's already radioactive clouds appearing and one US Navy ship has been exposed to a cloud.
Right. And the Gulf Coast is clean *WINK*.
Just don't
look under the water.
Also, as for the radiation:QUOTEThe officials added that American helicopters flying missions about 60 miles north of the damaged reactors became coated with particulate radiation that had to be washed off.
There was no indication that any of the military personnel had experienced ill effects from the exposure. (Everyone is exposed to a small amount of natural background radiation.)
