Chernobyl had a single reactor failure that was capped, but is still a danger. Fukashima had three reactor failures that were never capped. They are spewing highly radioactive debris into the environment now at a rate that makes Chernobyl-level events seem desirable.
Nuclear power is too dangerous in the hands of the inept ... which seems to the hands of nuclear engineers and power companies.
Chernobyl was operated by communists who had physicists pushing brooms and political appointees making decisions.
Fukushima was an old reactor that they sought to replace for years.
” Fukashima had three reactor failures that were never capped. They are spewing highly radioactive debris into the environment now at a rate that makes Chernobyl-level events seem desirable.”
Now that statement is a total and utter lie.
“Fukashima had three reactor failures that were never capped.”
That is a lie, because the none of the Fukushima reactor cores ever became uncapped in the first place. The fuel cores melted down, but they remained contained in the reactor pressure vessel or the primary containment vessel in each case, as they were designed to do. What little radioactive contamination escaped the Fukushima nuclear reactors was due to the venting of radioactive hot water vapor used to cool the nuclear reactor and its power generation turbines. This contaminated water reached the basements of the buildings and worked its way into the soil and water table.
The level of radioactivity is very minor. At its very worst, the radioactivity levels are one-tenth to one-thousandth of where low level radiation poisoning begins with dermal itching as a symptom. That is also one hundred thousandth to one ten-millionth of the Chernobyl radioactivity levels. By comparison, a person just outside the Fukushima fence would receive an equivalent dose of natural radiation from the Sun and outer space by taking one to ten flights as a passenger aboard an airliner flying at altitudes of 20,000 to 35,000 feet above sea level. A person will also receive a greater dose of natural radiation by eating a normal amount of bananas per day or by sleeping beside their naturally radioactive spouse in bed.
So this fear mongering with totally fictitious claims about levels of radiation poisoning from the Fukushima reactors is outrageously wrong.
