I'm still against nuclear for this reason.
Chernobyl, 3 mile Island (is that the right name)...now this???
I'm a big hydro fan....and I believe we can use a lot more gas than we do. My stove is electric. I always loved cooking on gas.
Tell us about "3 mile Island" ... Where is it? What is it? What happened there? When did it happen? What is happening there now?
You're "against nuclear for this reason" ... what exactly is "this reason"? What facts support your reason? How does "3 mile Island (is that the right name)" relate to "this reason?
You have the floor ... enlighten us.
You should educate yourself, really. Radiation is all around you. The air you breath is radioactive, as is dirt and many other items you come into contact with every day. Every banana you eat has far more "extra" radioactivity than this tuna. What they're detecting is an extremely minute trace amount.
As food for thought, you might reflect on the fact that the life expectancy of Hiroshima survivors has been longer than that of the average Japanese citizen. Even moderate doses of radiation aren't particularly harmful.

Hydro power has killed far more people than nuclear power. From Wikipedia:
The Banqiao dam and Shimantan Reservoir Dam are among 62 dams in Zhumadian Prefecture of China's Henan Province that failed catastrophically or were intentionally destroyed in 1975 during Typhoon Nina.The dam failures killed an estimated 171,000 people[1]; 11 million people lost their homes. It also caused the sudden loss of 18 GW of power[citation needed], the equivalent of roughly 9 very large modern coal-fired power stations or about 20 nuclear reactors, equalling about 1/3 the peak demand on the UK National Grid.
