For example, the alpha particle radiation of polonium-210 is safe unless you ingest it. Which is what happened to Alexander Litvinenko when he was invited for a drink by russian FSB agents in London. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Litvinenko > But matters take a turn, when the variety of nucleotides > enters the food chain.

Bio-accumulation is not limited to radioactive waste.

The area is a thriving and healthy eco-system. https://thebiologist.rsb.org.uk/biologist-features/out-of-the-ashes It seems that humans are the biggest threat to life on earth.

That's the problem with officials. They just think rather investigated properly.

Nuclear is only viable because it *is* safe due to high regulation. Meanwhile thousands are dying yearly due to the effects human-led climate change from overuse of fossil fuels. Over 1000 in the UK this summer alone... https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/doncaster-imperial-college-london-birmingham-manchester-city-centre-people-b2827972.html That's on top of the many deaths and injuries to workers in fossil-fuel related accidents. Only *solar energy* is safer than nuclear: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh > that's just careless thinking.

Do we ban farms because of this risk? Of course not! So why ban nuclear like germany did?

I've no idea what you're trying to say with your poop analogy, but we are in agreement that regulation and oversight are critical in any industry.
