Do you have any verification for that suspicion? Even coal counts protected deaths from increased cancer rates.

- Tepix 7y agoSee my other comment. Fukushima has one official dead person from radiation. But what about the 1% increased cancer risk? Has noone dead from this cancer? Is noone going to die from it in the future? The normal rate of Thyroid cancer among children in Japan is 0.35 per 100,000. In Fukushima the rate is now 13.4 children per 100,000.

- acidburnNSA 7y agoNuclear accidents without iodine pills do indeed increase Thyroid cancers. This is a tragedy. Fortunately, Thyroid cancer these days is almost never fatal, it's totally treatable. However, this still affects the victims lives seriously. The number of kids who get thyroid cancer from nuclear, however, is almost insignificant compared to the number of children who currently die from air pollution, not to mention the ones who will die from CO2 emissions causing global warming. Everything has risks. The risks from nuclear are exceedingly low.
