you can thank the zioturd "hyman" rickover for telling fermi to stuff his thorium *clean* reactor in his proverbial, and sticking humanity with the uranium-cycle death devices.

Not to worry, 10 years from now,

uppity serf

the nuclear workers union will demand info on the health effects of over the top radiation exposure to humans. Then we'll "take a look" at the effects on the people. For now it's fine, the Japanese equivalent of the EPA is telling their people, "The air is fine to breathe, the food is fine to eat. Not to worry, we just raised the level of acceptable radiation exposure... at ease, little people."

(Referring to the article posted earlier today -
"Police union demands info on 9/11 toxic debris")

"Well you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand. The things you think are precious I can't understand."
