Japan. for dumping all that radiation-polluted water out into the Pacific. No more sushi for me. Or should I thank Japan for allowing me to save $$$
These conversations do make people look like fuckwits though. Before you sue you might read this NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/05/health/05radiation.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1 You might also consider that most of the oceanic problem is iodine isotopes. Then you might look up the half-life. Then you might look up the exposure you get if you: - have an xray - have a ct scan - install a granite bench top for your lovely
Not comparable. Ingesting an Alpha particle emitter into the human body is very nasty. You cannot compare an X-ray dose which could be higher but is external and safe VS a lower dose radiation but ingesting something that emits Alpha particles and would be absorbed into the bone or thyroid gland causing cancer 15-30 years in the future.
Oh how I love my sushi! What is the half life of that iodine isotope? When can I resume my expensive Japanese cuisine habit?
