There is more foolish from the loony left. Even Chernobyl only killed a handful of people and there were no long term side effects.
No mention in the article mentioning what they are talking about. How much radiation, what is the half life. Where is the proof?
There is background radiation and the stuff from Japan falls well with in it. Besides they have found that a little radiation is actually good for you.

Correct, radiation does have benefits.

We live within about 2 miles of a nuclear generation plant and find our electric bills about half of what can be expected for a home the size of ours.

Since everything in the house glows in the dark we almost never need to turn on the lights.

Not to mention that in the early days, the Russian workers processed plutonium by hand wearing paper uniforms ... most lived, and all would do it again for the Motherland.

“...Chernobyl only killed a handful of people and there were no long term side effects.”

You are correct.

Michael Crichton wrote an excellent, scholarly paper on this very thing.
