They all say the same thing. It is safe, radioactive materials are natural. Soon they'll be talking about bananas and transcontinental flights and X-rays.

Ignorance on display

They’ve since announced that the cause of the shutdown yesterday was a bad insulator in the power distribution plant:

I’m not Tina Fey, but I can see the Bryon nuclear plant from my house (well, the plume anyhow) and my heart is never troubled by it.

Exelon, in a news release, said tritium occurs naturally ...

That is a correct statement. It is a product of secondary cosmic rays, involving a high-energy neutron interacting with atmospheric nitrogen. Because of the very low emission energy of the beta particle, the radiation hazard associated with tritium, including internal exposures, is very minor. It has a relatively short biological half-life, about 10 days for a person with average fluid intake. It can be reduced to as low as 2-3 days by the relatively simple expedient of increasing fluid intake.

So everything is fine. But let’s all panic anyway.

Actually your retarded blog is just a reprint of the Rockford paper.

Skip the retarded blog and just go directly to the source.
