You’ve heard the expression “the dose makes the poison”? Of course those working at the reactors are in danger because they are getting high doses. Those further away (including here in the US) are in absolutely no danger.
Sadly, many here on FR sound like Greenpeace activists saying there is no safe dose of radiation.
Coulter is correct.....too much hysterics about radiation....it's the dose that kills....not radiation per se.
What data do you have to support that?
You must have listened to Ann Coulter’s remarks, as I did...
She was indeed referring to the likely effects (miniscule to none) to residents here in the continental US, not to the emergency workers inside the power plant.
Along with the intensity of the source, three things determine total exposure...Time, distance and shielding...
Fukishima’s emergency workers are exposed to a strong source, close by, for prolonged periods...Thus the danger to them...
To us here in the US, not so much...
And what is sadder still is that most of them are not aware that sunshine is the product of a continuous nuclear reaction.
