Try to be realistic about the risk. By moving to Tokyo I would be more at risk from passive smoking. In contrast, Fukushima does not present a risk barring further calamities. Incidentally, I see no use for nuclear in Australia with its current economics, excepting medical isotope production and industrial uses, and I think that solar and storage technologies will be well advanced before gen 4s are developed. But if gen 4s live up to the hype then countries like the UK would be crazy not to use a technology which could provide electricity for centuries with current waste stockpiles.

That first realisation that a tonne of common granite contains the energy equivalent of several tonnes of coal is still a very strong motivator for nuclear energy. The Earth's fissile energy reserves are immense, and their successful exploitation has much to offer.

Ajay.....I dislike the Greens for their political communist philosophy but don't disagree with everything they believe.I'm not that tribal.......lol....your a funny fellow:) but each to there own.

Fester said...But that is just one radio-isotope. Tobacco also contains Potassium 40, Uranium, and Thorium. How many more radiation related deaths might they cause?

How about the fact that humans are causing their own demise with the uses of un-known/unclear technologies. However, that helps another great cause thats well known by us ( political communist philosophers ) and thats to raise the death rate of our species.

Fester, all those future deaths by the figures you've shown has just brighten my day:)

7 billion people and growing:)....Ignoring Fukushima at our peril will prove just how stupid we humans are, I mean, while our breeding will probably never stop even with the advantages hindsight.

Ajay, The youth are inheriting a toxic slime dump of a planet, enjoy trying to warn them.

I can see the Simpson's three eyed fish on the dinner plates of the people of the future:)

Hi Planet 3
Nobody knows what What the future holds. Human ignorance is the name of the game. Thank god that NASA and astronomers in many countries with telescopes: optical, Infrared, Xray , gamma ray some on earth: some in earthorbit, moon orbit, now taking pictures.

There are NASAs solar systems probes beyond Mars and Jupiter scanning the Asteroid belt looking for the big ones . And sending back data to earth bound astronomers. All funded by the US congress who shocked by NASAs first Asteroid risk management report a few years earlier. THis is why the US is using the new Russian Rocket to put US astronauts on the earths space station . NASA other rockets are unmanned and used to send probes first to the asteroid belt and into the outouerer edge of the solar system to the comets.

Our planet is exposed to various possible catastrophic destinies apart from the Reactors going critical there is a remote, but real possibility that Mother Nature may throw an asteroid at us which could reduce us to a patch of deep frozen solar gravel and shock waves that trigger of earthquakes and volcanoes and put many other Nuclear reactors worldwide at risk . Especially in Japan which has many reactors reactors aside a two earth plates that could move due an asteroid impact

Here you go, Fester,

The human penchant for acting stupidly with the spoils of their intelligence is astounding!

Interesting Poirot. My guess is a toxin of fungal origin. They might be better placed consulting a mycologist.

Yawn....is that the best you've got:) I'll take the job:)

See! I have the greater argument/debate/facts and that again, the insults show that your white flag surrenders any hope of recovery.

Have a nice day.
