I'm calling bullshit on this article. Despite misdeeds, wrongdoings, corruption and outright lies by TEPCO and IAEA this article poo-poos the long-term impact of this international disaster. "No matter what happens in Fukushima, it's not going to be a problem over here." -- Eric Norman NO MATTER WHAT?? That's a pretty big statement. Especially since that, when radiation levels were detected to increase, the EPA just raised the minimum level of harmful radiation to a higher level. See?? Not a problem anymore. http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/01/governments-worldwide-raise-acceptable-radiation-levels-based-upon-politics-not-science.html http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2012/01/governments-worldwide...

TEPCO is likely connected to the japanese mob: http://rt.com/news/fukushima-workers-violations-yakuza-730/ http://rt.com/news/fukushima-workers-violations-yakuza-730/ The IAEA is there is promote nuclear power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISu7O47d1Ko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISu7O47d1Ko US sailors claim cancer from Fukushima assistance: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/20/sickened-by-service-more-us-sailors-claim-cancer-from-helping-at-fukushima/ http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/20/sickened-by-service-mor...

The snopes article is a form of deceptive propaganda and is all-around bullshit.

Your arguments of TEPCO links to the Japanese Mob is irrelevant, as the Snopes article discusses on whether or not the radiation levels are effecting the US. Also, the link you gave on the US raising safe level markings is not a respected news source, and the article only links to other articles from the site as "sources". If's fine to call BS on an article on HN, but make sure you give proper backing to your claims, the post you just wrote doesn't.

  No, the article still poo-poos the long-term impact of this disaster. If they're going to write an article about this topic, they should properly research it. So the TEPCO-mob connection is relevant and it still stands that it's a deceptive piece of propaganda. Thank you for actually following a provided link. Despite the lack of coverage on this issue from so-called respected news sources, there are other articles. You're calling me out on not making "proper" backing to my claims when the original article is a snopes propaganda piece? What sort of standard are you holding me to? http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2013/04/10/epa-draft-stirs-fears-of-radically-relaxed-radiation-guidelines/ http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffmcmahon/2013/04/10/epa-draft...
