I live in eastern WA State. Cannot find measurements for my location. I wonder why these have never been published. If you have other sources, please post to this thread.

Those numbers are ludicrous.

I’d check with real physicists and engineers before believing anything from one of our medical pubs.

I would think 14,000 deaths might even be high in Japan where people were actually exposed to radiation. However, this number is ludicrous in the US where radiation attributable to the Fukushima disaster was hardly measurable. If this low level of exposure to radiation can cause thousands of deaths, you would think that several western states would have experienced millions of deaths as a result of atmospheric A-bomb tests in the 1950s.

Come on...this simply does not pass the smell test. 14,000 deaths from radiation here in the US?

That could not be covered over. Too many relatives, Drs, nurses. Burial services, etc., etc.

This is simply Bravo Sierra and hogwash...sensationalizing and attention grabbing by absolutely meaningless and vague reports.

It would be HUGE news if even ONE American died as a direct result of radiation from Japan...but there has not been a single report of any any illness even...much less a death...or 14,000 of them!

Come on!

[Toddsterpatriot]

Estimated excess deaths during this period for the entire U.S. is about 14,000.

Wow! Ex-Texan was right. 750 RAD.

They should have stayed out of the fallout, man!

[nobdysfool]

Sounds to me like the logical fallacy of post hoc, ergo propter hoc, or "after this, therefore because of this". Another way to say it is, "since some people died a few days after the Fukushima disaster, it must be the disaster that caused their deaths"....

RPHP was established as a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization in 1995, after many years of work by its founders--Jay Gould and Ernest Sternglass--as part of other nonprofit environmental and public policy organizations.

Where in the world did you find this group at???? Sheesh. Think you need to go back to DU.

Just read their press release page a few minutes and you can see that this Mangano character is a rabid anti-nuclear zealot hiding behind a non-profit.

Buy a web domain and suddenly you speak with the voice of God!

Sheesh. You're just spreading lefty propaganda with this one.

[yldstrk]

I call BS. This is just frickin nonsense

[TigersEye]

And not a single news report on a single one of them.

[MaxMax]

Is this Nuke Biased propaganda? So everyone who dies of cancer now
will be placed in this category?

Reminds me of gun death propaganda.

Radiation PUBLIC Health Project, eh?

Gee, I wonder where they get their funding from.

Somebody go check Hawaii and make sure hussein is not snorkeling in zombie waters given they are way closer to Japan than the left coast is according to my world atlas.
