Which part, and do you have a source arguing otherwise?
- Gibbon1 8y agoThe whole thing relies on emission of fly ash which contains a few ppm of thorium and uranium. However a few things never mentioned. 1. Modern coal fired plants collect fly ash and bury it in landfill. So coal fired power plants since the 1970's don't emit fly ash or it's radio-isotopes. 2. As radio-isotopes go neither thorium or uranium are particularly bio-available or subject to bio-magnification. 3. Common dirt contains a few ppm of thorium and uranium. So contamination with fly ash doesn't change anything radio-logically.
