Your perception is the "low dose over long term vs. high dose over short term" argument.

This is HIGH DOSE RADIATION.

It stays.

Much longer than what we've already blasted our southwest with over HUNDREDS of tests,what was leaked in two high-dose disposal mishaps, and exactly the kind of nasty that happened in chernobyl.

I do.

Hi. My name is Melvin. I was the Tromaville Health Club mop boy. Look what toxic waste has done for me!

Not for us, it isn't.

Rausch needs to look up the term, "half life" before he continues his argument.

Ok.

When you dump tons of water on an exposed and radioactive nuclear rod what do you think happnes?....
[Reply]

The rods are cooled.
[Reply]

Unicorns are created?


[Reply]

You are more intelligent than this.

Water alone does not prevent a meltdown once you have lost control of the rods.
[Reply]

That reminds me of the joke when I was a kid,


What do you call a new bride?

A cooling system for a hot rod.
[Reply]

Yes it does.
[Reply]

And it sends how many TONS of radioactive vapor, freely, into the air?

Are you talking about the 50 days for Stronium 89 or the 26+ years for Stronium 90?

Once the core melts, there isn't anything you can do except keep pumping water on it. Hopefully, the corium is contained inside the PV, as well as the radioactive water.

In the case of Fukushima, it seems clear that there were melts in at least three of the reactors, and that there was/were leaks in the PV(s). I'm not arguing that there hasn't been unintentional and intentional releases of radiation from this event.
