until it doesn't and it does.
i'm sure that its safe to dump small amounts of radioactive material into the oceans, but if you start to build more reactors and dispose of all the waste into the ocean, the dilution will soon cease to be enough to offset a global ... disaster.
- lmm 9y agoNope. Unless we start importing uranium from off-planet, there just isn't enough material to make the whole planet significantly radioactive.
- all_usernames 9y agoWhat does significantly radioactive mean? If I am a single individual, a single particle of Cesium or whatever could give me cancer. It's not an averages game when you're talking about real lives.
- wbl 9y agoDo you know how much uranium coal plants release into the air?
- ThrustVectoring 9y agoThere's natural amounts of radiation that people are exposed to. Taking a commercial airline flight or handling a banana are good comparable measures - if it's less than those, it's not really worth worrying about.
- adrianN 9y agoHow concerned are you about cosmic rays?
