The most successful government conspiracy was the Global Warming conspiracy. Took a heck of a lot of effort from many people to begin to uncover that conspiracy. And of course some help from Russian hackers was required when they released emails from the main conspirators. And yet they are still millions that believe that humans caused Global Warming (AGW). Prior to AGW, the previous most successful conspiracy run by the government was the Ozone Hole Scare. Completely bogus. The suns UV output controlled the ozone density. We know that now, but that conspiracy was successful for the government).

The problem with determining the amount of radiation released by Fukushima and comparing it to Chernobyl is that most of the radiation from Fukushima is bound up in liquid. The oceans and the storage tanks for cooling water. We have no idea what those levels have been in total. Also, the release is still occurring and will continue to occur for many years. Three complete meltdowns occurred at Fukushima, and the media seems obsessed with one of the reactors that did not meltdown (#4).

Still waiting for a weight of nuclear material lost from containment... The most ‘horrific’ descriptions I can find online cite a ‘secret, hidden’ government report that states that 50 grams were lost from containment. Let us compare that to the smallest above ground nuclear explosion in Nevada in the 1950’s. That was 30,000 grams. Six hundred times as big, and probably 2,000,000 grams of radioactive dust spread across the United States.

Let’s take a very very ‘worst case’ scenario and say that 1,000 grams were released. That is still 1/200th of the nuclear material released from Chernobyl during the fire.

I’m more than willing to live a year within 3 miles of the Fukushima plant, growing and eating all my food from the ground there.

But hey, let’s take it to the ultimate worst case scenario, that every milligram of nuclear material stored at Fukushima went critical and was lost from containment, and compare it to Chernobyl... You’re still talking about 1/25th of the disaster.

As for your points about the global warming...err, climate change scam - it’s been running in academia for the better part of a century, alternating between threats of the next ice age from soot production from coal to global warming from release of carbon dioxide. That’s not a government conspiracy, that’s a scam and swindle.
