The Trump administration has secretly rewritten nuclear safety rules

8. It would be interesting if people were as concerned with fossil fuel exposures...

...as they are with nuclear related exposures.

In the next hour about 800 people will die on this planet from air pollution.

I would be interested to learn, in the 69th year of commercial nuclear power operations in the United States, with reference to the primary scientific literature of a death toll from nuclear opeartions in this country that comes close to that rate.

I issue this challenge often here and I have yet to receive a satisfactory reply. In fact nuclear operations have a spectacular record of low environmental and health impact.

While I certainly support radiation safety, a subject on which my son's girlfriend is working for her Ph.D, I strongly object to selective attention.

There is overkill in reaction to the words "nuclear" and "radioactive." The absurdity of this attitude is to consider the coal, oil, and gas burned, killing people as these combustion facilities operated normally, to power computers to carry on about tritium releases at Fukushima.

Nuclear energy saves lives. This is a fact, because fossil fuel energy kills in vast numbers, on a scale of millions of people per year. Every nuclear plant operating on this planet displaces coal and gas, the emissions of which are destroying the planet at an accelerating rate.

Nuclear energy need not be risk free to be safer than everything else. It only needs to be safer than everything else.

If the orange pedophile's administration declares that orange juice is orange, that doesn't make it blue.
