By ‘this alarmism’ you mean ‘medical studies of Hiroshima victims’?

“65 pounds of plutonium disappeared form Rocky flats weapons factory in fire upwind form me when I was a kid and no problems” THIS gives you confidence??? Well hey let’s just let the nuke industry story radioactive waste in open buckets! That’s how well they keep track of plutonium!? And you brag of it??

Ok the ‘we depend on radioactive decay’ to warm the earth bit is pathetic. I guess we should just say THANK YOU to the nuclear industry incompetence that has lead to the spread of radioactive waste - they were just keeping us warm! Say...why aren’t the folks in the Chernobyl region just a little more grateful than the rest of us???

I have studied radiation and the effects of Hiroshima. Which study are you referring to and where is it. Lets look at the original information and not at a hit piece of a study. I suspect the writer has no background in radiation. Radiation is a natural process like the sun. Deep in the earth is radioactive decay that warms the earth also not not the spread of radioactive waste.
