I don’t know anything about nuke reactors, but this sounds like 100% BS.

Christina Consolo is a former clinical researcher supervisor with NIH credentialing; a former Member-at-Large for the Board of Directors, Ophthalmic Photographers’ Society; A peer reviewer for the Journal of Ophthalmic Photography; She has written, published, and contributed to numerous scientific research in retinal imaging and ophthalmogy for the past 24 years; She is also an award-winning biomedical photographer and maintains several websites

In other words almost no credentials regarding the subject at hand.

“Nuked Radio”
Sounds Legit.

I wish I knew what to believe about this accident. This is the most dire article to come out about it. But others claim no one has died directly from the radiation, and few are expected to die. The article references Arnie Gundersen, who has limited credibility about the nuclear industry. Yet almost all hysterical Fukushima articles reference him. Are his opinions causing the hysteria?

People have and will die as a result of Fukushima. The suppression of the immune system at doses distributed in some populated areas are sufficient to supress immune response as it has in other regions of the world. When Chernobyl occurred, a pro nuclear international study was done reporting “all diseases increased”. I did a double take and had to read more carefully - the human body has to repair the ongoing damage caused by radiation exposure and cannot continue to maintain the fight against other diseases so all instances go up. When that happens, some people die from diseases they would have survived with a functioning, unimpaired immune system.
Exposure to ionizing radiation does cause cancers and leukemia along with other diseases and this is known because of medical studies going back to the 50’s in the US and then studies on the exposed populations of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Ukraine etc. And the latest state-of-the-art research in the US continues to indicate that there is no safe threshold and people will sicken die. What the nuke industry hangs onto is that, while leukemia and cancer and other diseases increase in exposed populations - there is no test to show which patient died from cancer they were going to get from other sources and which patient would have been fine if not for radiation exposure from the nuclear power industry. You can say cancer increase x percent as a result of radioactive contamination - so far there is usually no way to group the deaths that would have occurred anyway and separate them from the Fukushima group. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is viewed by the nuclear power industry as full exoneration. This is the reason they insist that the only Fukushima deaths are the ones that are caused by Acute Radiation Sickness (heavy exposure and relatively fast death) and they wash their contaminated hands of ALL the other death and destruction of quality of life as people battle with endless illnesses and debility.
SO either the Japanese are not human or they are experiencing rising death (immune suppression) and will experience rising cancer rates etc.
People were right. Chernobyl is still killing people today because radioactive wastes remain damaging for many many generations. There are people living in contaminated regions today that are ill and will raise ill children because radiation exposure is damaging. It never was theoretical - it always was directly observable and damaging.

Someone upthread said “we’re all gonna die” to ridicule those of us who know what nuclear power is doing to the future of the US, of Japan and other countries. Radiation from Fukushima was soon detected in south America. Venting large quantities of materials proven to cause cancer, leukemia and a host of other illnesses (early dementia) on the world’s population is fine with the nuclear power industry because there is money in it for people and they have find lying and accusing people of being hysterical “works” to give them what they want. Their incompetence is vast but they aren’t held accountable. They think it’s “good work if you can get it.” Routinely threads like these reveal that no one in nuclear power ever bothered to learn actual effects of exposure to radiation but they sure are willing to invest in shouting down and ridiculing anyone who does study the medical science involved.

Fukushima is very bad, but an article from RT(!) saying that millions wil die makes it funny.

Chernobyl, anyone?

You make FR look like a joke by posting material from RT.com.

Maybe Obama could start a war with Japan. After all, they are causing millions of deaths.
