You have NO ABILITY to distill information and present it in your own simple words? I realize that few do. Especially today in our age of cut and paste.
Yet I can and will do so. Why did the MIGHTY SUPERBEINGS of the IAES rate TMI a 5 rather than the 4 — at worst — it deserved based on their own fact-based standards? Because they allowed their standards to incorporate IMAGINATION They use the phrase “potential consequences”. Wonderful!
In other words they ruled TMI a 5 because of politics. They imagine the situation was worse than it was, because their politics are that of emotionalism against the US. Envy, jealousy and hatred.
I suppose I am to listen to you, OH EDUCATED ONE WHO CAN FORMULATE YOUR OWN WORDS, rather than the number of organizations that have rated TMI a 5. Nevermind the fact that your theory - and that’s what it is, a simple-minded theory - is self-defeating. Why would a nuclear agency wish to create a fear around nuclear power, thus defeating the industry which they work in? I’m sure your tinfoil hat may be able to dial in a broadcast which will let us know.
But what do I know, I’m not a nuclear physicist like yourself. I realize that most aren’t as smart as you, so I’ll defer the last word to you and your self-proclaimed brilliance.
