DIC “is a pathological process characterized by the widespread activation of the clotting cascade that results in the formation of blood clots in the small blood vessels throughout the body… and can ultimately lead to multiple organ damage… severe bleeding can occur from various sites. DIC does not occur by itself but only as a complicating factor from another underlying condition, usually in those with a critical illness… DIC can lead to multiorgan failure and widespread bleeding… Causes — DIC can occur in the following conditions: Solid tumors and blood cancers (particularly acute promyelocytic leukemia)… Sepsis or severe infection… Severe allergic or toxic reactions… Giant hemangiomas (Kasabach-Merritt syndrome) [and] Large aortic aneurysms.”

Well, what do you know….ionizing radiation can bring about Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation. That's an interesting fact. At least they didn't say they are puzzled or mystified. This scenario is exactly what people have been saying….radiation is such an assault on living creatures that, even if it doesn't kill them right away, it lowers their resistance so other serious/fatal conditions can take hold. We need to know exactly what we are eating, drinking and breathing as far as radiation is concerned. Our government's head-in-the-sand approach is unacceptable.

...and anyone within the blast-zone of one of the thousands of nuclear bombs dropped on the planet over the decades would be vaporized, yet we're all still around. Do you know how many of those were tested in the oceans?
Who's the brain dead one again?
My god this just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.
BTW, bothered to watch the video. There's ABSOLUTELY nothing in the video that remotely talks of all life dying out, or anything of the sort.
Quit the fear-mongering nonsense, it's bad enough as is.

Somebody isn't understanding the difference between a short-lived nuclear blast vs a long-term steady nuclear meltdown with regards to bioaccumulation...
Short-lived isotopes in an instant vs long-lived isotopes steadily flowing out.
140 pounds of radioactive material in an instant (Nagasaki's Little Boy) vs 50,000 pounds of radioactive waste per annum (Fukushima).
Of course there's multiple differences, I'm trying to bring perspective. The science illiterate OP
Let me give out a dozen or so examples to prove just how ridiculous this is:
if I put my head in an oven, it burns.
if I turn that oven off and keep my head directly outside the oven until it cools down into the surrounding air, i will simply be bored.
if i drink a gallon of whisky in an hr, i will choke on my vomit unconsciously.
if i drink a gallon of beer in an hr, i will slap ass and get in a bar fight.
if i drop 12oz of whisky in a 3liter of coca-cola and drink it in an hr, i will slap ass and get in a bar fight.
if i piss on the life-guard outside a public swimming pool, she may enjoy it (i doubt it).
if i piss in an olympic swimming pool while staring at a life guard, he may think i'm gay (but i won't get outed!).

No. The radiation will harmlessly disperse
It's just like when you mix a drink.

Anyone who still believes this nonsense is obviously scientifically illiterate. It's already been proven that if you bring the science to the ignorant, they will keep barking.
So I'm trying to work on a much lower level. If you'd like to refute what I've been saying in these last several threads, then please go at it.
I challenge you to show me the radioactive material flooding into the worlds oceans is any more than a minute fraction compared to what already exists.
The North Pacific Gyre, located in the northern Pacific Ocean, is one of the five major oceanic gyres. This gyre covers most of the northern Pacific Ocean. It is the largest ecosystem on Earth, located between the equator and 50° N latitude, and comprising 20 million square kilometers.[1] The gyre has a clockwise circular pattern and is formed by four prevailing ocean currents: the North Pacific Current to the north, the California Current to the east, the North Equatorial Current to the south, and the Kuroshio Current to the west. It is the site of an unusually intense collection of man-made marine debris, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

I already did, time and time again. The onus is on you. It's up to you to care enough to look back on my posts.
Oh, but you won't.
Go figure, ignoramus.
You fools have fun with your fear mongering nonsense.
This is like trying to cure an addict by telling them to stop. I'm not going to participate in your addiction any longer.
