Mr Benevolent

All the affected reactors are in cold shutdown and land decontamination is ongoing. What do you expect, a magic bullet?

The really bizarre thing is that the event is still referred to as "Fukishima" when the tsunami/earthquake killed far more people - 20,000 being a larger number than 0.

When people didn't start dying in their droves from Fukushima the anti-nuclear brigade soon lost interest.

Because people like getting hysterical about nuclear power

They should just nuke it.

Where are all the anti-tsunami protests. Perhaps someone should start a rumour about them being caused by the Shell corrib pipeline.

Ah bless. The naivety is sweet. Any idea what the international impact of the Tsunami has been? Production of factories in the affected areas has been decimated, I know, I work for client companies that can not secure components from manufacturers and are in scramble mode still. Radiation is insidious. You don't get people dropping from the rafters like dead birds, it is a lingering, sneaky, long term hazard. Kids will develop tumours in far off, unknown locations, "totally unrelated" to the "incident". The food chain will be contaminated with particles bodies take to be harmless, these will be concentrated as predator feeds on predator, up and up, from plankton to Pollack, grass to grazers, your tuna steak to your tumour. This will all, of course, be "unrelated to the incident" and get swallowed up in the fetid mass of statistics, blurred by borders and distorted by semantics. Fukushima has not "gone away", nor will it be "gone away" for several thousand years. But it will be forgotten and unremarked, a blip on the "unblemished record" of the nuclear industry. Sure you don't want the lights going out now, do you?

Do you have any basis for this rather dramatic post? I suspect you wandered over from the Conspiracy Theory forum

I always hear "hasn't gone away you know" in Gerry Adams voice.

Shryke

A lot of hyperbole based on pop science articles. It reads like the intro to a zombie film. Day Zero.

Chernobyl is still there too OP (just in case you were worried it had gone somewhere)

Common sense for any person with minimum level of education?

No I wasn't worried about that. Thanks for your concern! That's another thread.

No real evidence for that, the WHO compiled a study and 4000 died not the project 100s of thousands which was the expectation after the accident. I seems our body's can cope with higher exposures to radiation the previously determined..

But how many will die in coal production yearly about 20,000 and how many may die from dependence on fossil fuel. If fossil fuel is causing runaway global warming,,billions.
