Having looked into it in some detail, I frankly couldn't care less. Radiation is simply a bogey man by and large. Wade Allison is someone who has spent his life studying it. Get a copy of 'Radiation and Reason'. I think he tried to tell the Japanese that there was no need to evacuate around Fukushima and he was completely right. The evacuation killed more people than radiation ever could have. Very very few people died of radiation in the years *after * Hiroshima. They either died then and there or a few weeks later. Ditto Chernobyl It was never 'cleaned' up before being rebuilt. There are no effects detectable from that. One of the more amusing things coming out of the Fukushima accident, was the Italian embassy evacuating its staff from Tokyo to Rome, where someone pointed out that Rome itself is and always has been, more radioactive than Fukushima ever was..let alone Tokyo! The upshot is that organic life's response to low level radiation is extremely non linear. We have evolved in a radioactive world. DNA carries two copies of every single gene and does *parity checking* on it. A cell with damaged DNA dies. Only if two *identically* damaged genes occur - a very very rare event under low level radiation - is there a chance of a viable mutation, and there is even less chance that it will be cancerous. Like digital signalling there are no errors until you get to a very high level of noise. Which is why living in low constant radiation is essentially not an issue, but short term exposure to high level absolutely is. It's not total dose. it's peak dose, that kills. Medically speaking X-rays are pretty harmless. Only using hard radiation to kill cancer is not. -- "It is an established fact to 97% confidence limits that left wing conspirators see right wing conspiracies everywhere"
