Actually scientists rely upon grant money and the government can and has stripped scientists of funding if they provide research that exposes radiation effects on human health. That’s why there are little if any legitimate scientific studies of the ways in which air travel (and passengers attendant exposure to radiation) impacts human health. What the government doesn’t want studied, the government doesn’t fund. It’s why no lab in Oregon, Washington, and California would analyze civilian collected samples of plants/soil for radiation following Fukushima - they don’t want to lose their federal funding. Berkely Univ. initially published reports showing they detected radioactive deposits (downwind from Fukushima) in neighboring land and milk cows feeding there, but that sure was shut down fast - within a few months, all milk and foliage samples were clean clean clean! It’s a miracle, I tell you!

Oh horseshit. The effect of radiation on health is broadly acknowledge in the nuclear industry and the nuclear weapons establishment. Processes and procedures to control exposures and spread of contamination are incredibly strict and cumbersome. The issue is that there is a point of view that thinks that it can create the evidentiary body that will shut it all down.

These are the folks that negotiated the regime in North Korea that gave us an out of control nuclear armed dictator while limiting the tools in Trump's arsenal to those that will visit a nuclear holocaust not just on the government and military of NK but innocent civilians as well.

It isn't just that these folks are lying slandering swindling idiots. We have plenty of them. It's the international consequences of this idiocy that should alarm all Americans.

You are just a liar. Government labs (e.g. Lawrence Livermore lab) collected those kinds of samples as a matter of priority and reported them as a matter of urgency to the emergency ops center set up in Washington DC. We had military aircraft also flying in the vicinity of Fukishima collecting those samples and having them analyzed.

You are pathetic. You don't even need money to do those studies. Many institutions already own the nuclear instrumentation required. You go outside, collect a sample of dirt, or sniff the air, or collect the sea water, and you put the sample in the instrument and count it. Now what you need to have had is a good supply of pre-Fukushima samples to compare it to so that you can subtract off the pre-existing natural background - which is a bit of an issue.

But stop lying and misleading.
