“No Risk to Humans” from Plutonium Spill? Who Are They Trying to Kid
The latest news from Daichi makes it clear: Nothing these officials say can be trusted:
Highly toxic plutonium has seeped into the soil outside the troubled Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power complex in northeastern Japan, officials say. The amounts detected in five different soil samples taken from the facility did not pose a risk to humans, safety officials say.
Yes, I am calling that last sentence an outright lie—a disgusting, damnable, and definitely dangerous dissembling.
Want to know the safe level of inhaled plutonium? Zero. The risks are lower if it’s eaten or drank. Breathing the stuff has a very high deadliness factor because it settles in the lungs.
