Simply put, the radiation was detectable over more than 1/2 of the entire surface of the earth. A lot of people do not think it is a problem, unless you immediately die of radiation.
A 747 when flying straight at you, is only a tiny tiny spec, until the very last second, and then it gets really really big, and then you are dead.
I heard Randy Shilts say this "Give me a number. How may people have to die?"

- Schroedingersat 4y agoFukushima and Chernobyl are the good outcome. They released well under 1% of the bad stuff before it was contained. It only takes Areva or Rosatom having an oops with one reactor load of fuel because they bribed the geologist for the waste dump and it turns out it was actually unstable and linked to the aquifer or papers were forged on the parts for the transport cask or they buried it in a shallow dump in nigeria where it corrodes open in 2150 and you turn a country into the red forest for the next millenium. This is 100% guaranteed to happen the second there's too much of it for mass protests to cover every fucked up thing the industry tries.
