Fukushima still leaking radiation

Oh gawd, again? I followed deuterium because Kvasir said he doesn't drink sea water. I could have traced Sr 90 and Cs 137 through fish and animal feed, but I didn't want to get bogged down in a side issue. (And I notice you don't mention the longer lived isotopes.)

But you guys are desperate for side issues so you can ignore the central point: Each one of these nuclear disasters makes our whole planet more radioactive, and they are going to keep happening until we stop using these reactors.

Tomorrow you might get a call saying flee your home city and never come back and maybe after 15 years of litigation we'll pay you a third of the value of what you lost. Will it matter to you then that someone tried real hard, and not ALL of the byproducts were deadly?

Nuclear power seems to be being shoved under a rug because people aren't fighting it like they are with coal.

Can you explain this one? Perhaps we don't agree on what "being shoved under a rug" means.
