    Yes, the ignorance is mainly caused by governments and lobbies keeping quiet about what actually happened and washing down data

      Most folks, including nuclear advocates, have little understanding of either fission products or neutron activation. They really have no need to. I don’t think the data isn’t there if you look for it though. It’s just not simple to understand.

      More like, ignorance caused by my local news deciding to run a story telling people there is a controversy, without making a simple statement like the water is less radioactive than a banana. There’s a controversy in part because the media encourages it, at almost every opportunity.

        If you believe it’s safer than a banana why don’t you go living in Futaba? I heard the houses are pretty cheap there
