Fukushima is still releasing cesium-137 and has passed the West Coast of the U. S. reaching as far as Idaho and beyond...We don't even know the truth about what is really happening to this day and people here insult you telling you that Chernobyl was worst...The pacific ocean is filled with radiation killing everything swimming in it but no, the Fukushima event was almost perfectly safe according to them.
None of that helps if you get even a little bit of direct exposure. Either way, radiation fucks shit up. There's no such thing as a percentage of lead in the body that is beneficial, and the same thing goes for radiation. If you get too much exposure, plan to throw up until you die. Maybe have one last smoke like the guy in the first episode did. Not much reason to fear lung cancer at that point.
Dude, Chernobyl was way worse, the fuel ejected out of the building like a bomb. Fukushima kept meltdown contained. Way less radioactive release into environment.
We live in Alaska, we are seeing a die off of gray whales,salmon as well as mutations in starfish. Tons of super heated radioactive water is dumped in the Pacific. In humans we have seen a major spike in various throat related cancers in the last 8 Years!
It absolutely does not. Fukashima had its fuel in a containment structure. Chernobyl did not. When the reactor core exploded in Chernobyl, intensely radioactive material was completely exposed, like a giant dirty bomb. Took 7 months to fully contain and several emergency efforts had to be made post explosion to prevent an even worse explosion.
Exactly correct. Fukashima pales in comparison to Chernobyl. I'm very glad this outstanding HBO series was made, because I think many did not fully understand the scope of this catastrophe. The total impact in terms of illness and deaths has not been accurately described and quantified. And yet without the heroism and sacrifices made in the containment and cleanup efforts it could have been so much worse for the entire planet and many millions in the immediate area could have been killed.
The show is such a complete and total indictment of communism, totalitarianism, and socialism. It presents a hyper-accurate portrayal of the failure of that system. The show producers try to paint this as a "failure of people" and in fact they totally misunderstood what they created. It was a failure of a system from top to bottom, with underlying stories of people overcoming impossible odds and adversity to do great things to benefit others.

Pails in contrast to Fukashima. That damage is continuing today along with worldwide denial.

I still eat my Pacific seafood with relish. Seafood is full of selenium, that means they have radiotherapy built in.
Secondly there's also a known phenomenon of the beneficial, hormetic effects of low level ionizing radiation exposure. Kicks off DNA repair programs.

This explains the idiocy coming out of California.

You're right, the propaganda media truly is terrible, and trying to make things seem like the world is ending. Why would you believe the media?

Nobody said it wasn’t bad. But in comparison to Chernobyl....

Let's build a nuclear powerplant in a area prone to tsunamis. But keep that seawall short, don't want to spend too much money.
