Neurath coal plant in Germany pushes 1 million cubic meters of coal waste into the atmosphere every 5 minutes. If you breathe that stuff undiluted, you are dead in minutes.

If you use undiluted water from the
#Fukushima tanks (max 5MBq/l tritium) as drinking water for a year, you get a radiation dose of 30mSv and 10 days loss of live expectancy. -
Whew! That's good news. Now, who came up with those numbers and what about the fish that breathe that water?

Point taken. We have an inherent fear of "nuclear." But then again, what you can't see, smell, hear, feel or touch but know can be deadly opens up human fear.
-
We have an inherent fear of nuclear because of decades of brain washing by the fossil fuel industries that are destroying our planet. Don't continue to help them out!

I'll give you that. You've got to find something to do with the spent fuel rods more permanent than putting on-site of current nuclear plants before I'll support nuclear going forward, though.

Set it straight with a link that clarifies what is actually happening and the risks it might pose.
