In reply to the discussion: Japan postpones removal of Fukushima atomic fuel rods [View all]FBaggins
(26,829 posts)67. Still putting words in others' mouths?
There you are saying that globally, the impact from nuke power plants is non-existent.
Context matters. The post I replied was talking about the global impact of Fukushima... which has, in fact, been negligible.
Of course, on balance the global impact from nuclear power plants has been a large net positive - since the primary competition (coal) kills many millions of people when it's operating normally.
Tell you what I am not, and that is not a shill for the industry.
You have more than a few DUers that aren't so sure about that.
Your frequent errors (and the ease with which they are debunked) has a number of anti-nukes that believe you are a "sock puppet" for the nuclear industry. There are DUers with legitimate concerns over nuclear power (or simply a preference for a different low-carbon solution and a fear that support for nuclear saps support for their preferred solutions)... and little makes them look worse than to be associated with some of these nutty claims that are so easily refuted.
Example?
Here's a video from over a year and a half ago of half a dozen people in the basement of the unit that you claim kills robots in minutes and humans can't even approach. You've been given such evidence of your error several times... yet continue to repeat it.

BTW - The dose for the 3/4 hour journey into units 2&3? Between .67 and 2.87 mSv.

It sure has been a nice ride. Wish it wasn't going to get much, much worse.
