Loading ...MORE ON FUKISHIMA AND FISH=INTERNAL RADIATION SOURCE vs. EXTERNAL. “sunshine rays” and “radon gas” is a typical industry false equivalency fallacy.
Cathering Nelson, your comment is wonderful. I would add one simple concept.
Internal radiation, i.e. eating a piece of tuna with several particles of plutonium—leaves you with the plutonium remaining in your body–to destroy DNA and tissue. External radiation exposures are different–they can be one time exposures that may or may not even damage any cellular structures. They can be chronic…which leads eventually to leukemia and other cancers.
Chronic external and internal exposures can be equally as lethal. At the end of the day, there IS NO SAFE LEVEL OF RADIATION EXPOSURE. Pulling anyone into an argument that ‘it’s only a small amount”—-you need to follow the money to the entities behind Woods Hole and these Japanese “experts”.
If you were in the hospital and had radioactive seed implants for cancer treatment, we would quarantine everything in your room, including your excretions—and these isotopes have very, very short half lives. Plutonium and Uranium have half lives in the hundreds of thousands of years. These people in Fukushima are literally pissing radiation. Now these folks want us to believe that eating just a few particles isn’t dangerous.
Well, google can be a good thing for the motivated.
