That has got to be one of the STUPIDIST, MOST IDIOTIC articles I have ever seen. Al Bundy's daughter showed more intelligence. It doesn't even bear dissecting to show the falsehoods. Thanks for posting it.

That piece has thoroughly been debunked on other boards. This was a scare piece put out by opponents of nuclear power.

Threads like this remind me of sitting at the stern of my boat cruising at 3 knots on the bay dragging a circle rig catching stripers.

You are free to find independent unbiased sources to back it up. I'll not be holding my breath.

It doesn't need to be "debunked" when it's never been proven in the first place

Is Radiation from Japan in the USA at Dangerous Levels?

The images from the Fukushima plant are scary. Radiation sounds scary. But, let’s not just be scared. Let’s look at the facts.

Another recent article which prompts; we don't know the facts.

And excerpt to the link below:

"The total amount of radiation released from the plant is still unknown"

Yet the article cited in your OP claims a myriad of facts. Which will it be?

One really does not have to be a "supporter" of the EPA, to believe, that if they say their radioactivity readings are high, they are more than likely, high readings.

Two Japanese nuclear power plants exploded and one burned.

It is hard, however, to believe that 14,000 Americans have died from radioactive exposure.

Boy do you have that right.
What a bunch of stable floor sweepings as that was. It should be on Snopes as being False.

Not my opinion and I didn't write the article. Nonetheless, *sigh*, this is interesting information that merits consideration.

I am not the one sticking his neck out with a declaration of facts. Please make a note of it.

Ok. Then exchange supporter with believer.

The issue at hand is the EPA to be trusted with environmental information or not? I suspect some would rather pick and choose what they want to believe.
