Fukushima - Unit 4 spent fuel removal >99% complete

[jeff47]

95. Yes, there was. But might as well skip it, since you don't like it.

Here it is again:

When we talk about plutonium and it being found around the world, what we are really saying is that all the other radioactive isotopes that came out with the plutonium from Fukushima are also present.

Do you know what the decay products of plutonium are? Yes or no.

But then you go off on potassium 40, as if that were a killer particle emitter

Actually, it is. Potassium-40 decays by emitting either an electron or a positron. Antimatter is not exactly a nice thing to have in your body. And about 4,900 K-40 atoms in your body decay every second.

What does plutonium decay into? It emits a weak gamma ray. A positron is gonna do a lot more damage than a weak gamma ray. Now, plutonium does decays into other things that have other effects. Do you know what those are? Yes or no.

We did not evolve with plutonium, or cesium 134, or cesium 137, or a whole range of other radioactive isotopes.

Actually, we did. Plutonium is the only one in your list that is not naturally-occurring.

I am not hoping anyone forgets anything I have written

Then why are you repeating arguments that were dismantled in January? Why are you insisting I provide links doing so, when they were already provided in January?
