<!--Widget Area: [Content Item] Right ~~~ --><!--The content itself ~~~ --> <CENTER>http://www.patriotfiles.com/forum/im...2012/33100.png</CENTER> <CENTER>Image: What the Media Told Us</CENTER> The Chairman of the UNSCEAR has announced that the health effects from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster will be relatively small because radiation was leaked into the sea instead of the air, and because evacuations of residents were carried out promptly: The fact that some radioactive releases spread over the ocean instead of populated areas also contributed to limiting the consequences, said Wolfgang Weiss of the U.N. Scientific Committee on the effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR).More information from the American Council on Science and Health: (Weiss) remarked that the situation in Fukushima was not at all comparable to Chernobyl — the nuclear reactor whose specter has created unduly fearful expectations in many people.A few weeks ago, Dr. Bloom wrote a great piece addressing some fear-mongering pseudoscience: “Garbage In, Anti-Nuclear Propaganda Out: The 14,000 Death Fukushima Lie“ http://www.japanprobe.com/2012/02/02...-to-chernobyl/ |
