Gregory's Server@Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith I don’t. The nuclear industry is among the safest in the world and kills the least number of people per unit of energy produced. It just happen to be in the unique position of having a lot of political baggage attached to it.

 @Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith For example, no one died from radiation at Fukushima, but the extensive evacuations caused major disruptions to the lives of thousands of people and caused about 1600 people to die, mainly from suicide. |
@Syulang @enoch_exe_inc @mojala @firstdogonthemoon @dgoldsmith Also, nuclear chemistry and nuclear physics is significantly less well understood by the general public compared to other fields of science. So, misinformation is rife and fears about radiation is frequently more deadly than radiation itself.
