Keee-recht! The headline implies that wildlife once WERE NOT teeming there because of the reactor explosion. Which is not true.
Nothing to see here; move along.
The Enviro-Socialists CAN'T STOP LYING about nuclear power.
I've seen two different BBC dramatic series in which a character mentions the two people who were killed in the Three Mile Island disaster. Except that is A LIE. Not only was no one killed at TMI, the amount of radiation that leaked out was about the same as a chest x-ray (which is 1/100th of the radiaton received from a CT scan). No one was so much as treated for radiation sickness.
The US Navy is the world's most prolific nuclear operator. It has been operating nuclear propulsion systems for more than 60 years and currently has more than 200 reactors in operation, most of which are on floating platforms, and some of which are on platforms that both sink and surface on command. And they have NEVER had a single serious radiation-related nuclear incident. In all those 60 years they only had one incident in which seamen were examined for possible radiation exposre and in that single incident, no treatment for radiation exposure was necessary.
Since 1955, there have been 13 reactor workers killed in workplace/industrial accidents in the US (electrocution, steam leaks, falling objects, etc). None of those deaths were radiatio-related. In fact, in that same period, zero (0) people in the US have died from causes related to accidental release of radiation from a reactor incident.
On the other hand, according to the US Mine Safety and Health Administration, there have been 517 coal miners killed in workplace-related accidents IN THE 21st CENTURY ALONE!
You tell me which is safer.
More people were killed in Ted Kennedy’s car than at TMI.
