Btw, you mentioned a figure of 500 deaths, what reality & experience do you base that on?

...gizmo is an apologist for the criminal corporate slave system that deludes him.

They can do NO wrong

Their CEO's are angels with perfect moral wings

Now according to gizmo's world, TEPCO is doing the rigth thing in filling the ocean with 11.500 tonnes of radioactive water

gizmo may dismiss the 985,000+ deaths from Chernobyl, and prefer the coroporately moral 500 figure bUT the New Yoirk Academy of Sciences cant

Read the report - its a nice summary of 6000 articles over many decades.

Surely youre not suggesting its cherry picking? LOL

Also today, TEPCO announced that samples taken from seawater near one of the reactors contained 7.5 million times the legal limit for radioactive iodine on April 2. Two days later, that figure dropped to 5 million.

As I stated before the "10 million" figure that TEPCO publically released was an actual reading - thats why teh Authorities rebuked the measurement to avoid creating panic

The lunatics are running the asylum

I base the '500 deaths' prediction on several things...
1) Foolosophy 'qouted' 2.73 million.....so based on her earlier claims of 985,000 for Chernobyl (when it's actually 9,000) that gives us a rough estimate of 1/100,000th of whatever Foolosophy 'claims'
2) And then there's the fact that very little radiation has leaked from Fukushima, so the only people who are really at risk are the crews working to control the reactors..

So right at this moment, the only people who 'may' die from radiation are the disaster and repair crews..and there's only 712 of them, so a 'predicted' mortality of about 3/4 sounds a little over the top...but I decided to err on the pessimistic side..

The 2.73 million resulting from Fukushima over the next few decades is just my guess

The 985,000 deaths from Chernobyl is based on a 2010 report by the NY Academy of Sciences - in which they translated about 6000 articles from Russian and other languages into English.

gizmo - youre an apologist for corporate fascism rigth till the end - well done

Only you dont have to validate yourself in here - you need to do it to your children (if you have any) or your familiy members

The libbos always only include the instant death count at the time of the disaster. The ones that die a slow lingering death due to radiation induced complications such as CANCER are always conveniently ignored in their count Sad

In other words, you have done the same as you have done in many, many posts, you have used your imagination, instead of the reality of facts, without proper information and you have done so in the absence of any real experience.

In short, your providing support for somethings that are real & apparent dangers and your doing so with fudged information, the question is why?

'Catastrophic water dump means Fukushima really out of control'

Has anyone taken the time to see why the tides are taking this water, after it leaves Fukushima?

If it is initially going up & down the Japanese coast and the waste is being deposited into seaweed, shellfish & fish, then I can see a FEW problems, in Japan & that's before we look further afield?
