Actually, many did 'glow' a bit here...

National Cancer Institute Study Estimating Thyroid Doses of I-131
Received by Americans From Nevada Atmospheric Nuclear Bomb Tests

The NCI's 'worst case' estimate is that fallout from nuclear weapons
testing likely generated from 10,000 to 75,000 cases of thyroid cancer!

Executive Summary of that report here.

Also, remember, it's always the children who are at the highest risk of injury from radioactive iodine and eventually developing thyroid cancer from that exposure. Each year, more than 12,000 Americans find out they have thyroid cancer, though from various causes. About 1000 here in the U.S. die from it yearly.

Thank you.

First of all Potassium Iodide ONLY protects you from thyroid cancer. There are a LOT worse cancers that radiation can give you.

Second thyroid cancer is treatable.

Third, IF your chart is correct, then you have proven that the study you posted earlier is incorrect. IF the study you posted was correct then that chart should read three times higher than it is.

And finally, I disagree with the study you posted.

Sorry, I thought you were backhoe. But your chart does goes against the study backhoe posted.
