I think you're neglecting to mention the radiation from all the bomb testing done since the 1940's.
I wonder why you would do that? ?
There are of course other radioactive products produced by nuclear technology. The most studied is radioactive iodine with a relatively short half-life. Strontium and cesium have been studied. Others may be equally significant but hard to study or pin down. Strontium was incorporated into the dental enamel of childrens' teeth during the time of atmospheric testing. Each test produced a detectable peak.
It is customary for nuclear physicists to speak in terms of half-life. However, when the whole decay pathway for say Plutonium 238 is examined - around 12 radioactive daughter products are produced including Radium and Radon. There is extensive documentation of biological effects of these. Biological effects can be expected from the whole decay pathway. [See Decay Simulation ]

All the bombs in all the tests ever carried out add up to a fraction of the emissions produced by just one of the partially melted reactor cores or any of the spent fuel pools. Like comparing matches to forest fires. I know the direct info about all the exact numbers from the companies responsible and the MSM is down played or misleading, but that is the norm is it not? This is not fear mongering, it is shedding light on the truth. Carry on.

That is HARDCORE BS.
You've been duped.

Thank you for your detailed response. I think you are closer to the mark than most,
but I still cannot shake the feelings expressed in my first post, especially in light of
all the things we see going on now in the world around us.
It is difficult to distill the truth from the BS, but any way you cut it, something extremely
dark is going on, especially concerning chemtrails. IMO.
The last link you provided in your response to me doesn't work btw.

You know what, screw it. I'm going to keep on.
Are you aware that plutonium and uranium are natural elements that are mined?? That often time in surrounding areas background radiation is higher than is around Fukushima, and that there are cities around...and people survive.
People are arguing on this thread from a state of ignorance. They're taking in fear-mongering, and spouting out that people who don't agree with them are ignorant. They're not giving credible information, and it's pathetic.edit on 26-10-2012 by moniesisfun because: (no reason given)

Care to back that up with some actual evidence?
Just wondering where you got this information from?
At one point the radiation release from Fukushima was considered to be about 10% of that from Chernobyl - see here
why is the MSM allowing the alternative press/conspiracy sites carry the fukushima psyops

lung cancer? i think if you did some research you may find that lung cancer, as a result of radioactive fallout, is very minimal.
That poster never suggested that lung cancer is a result of radioactive fallout, another poster did.
Pay attention, instead of urging people to do research.
I'll await your reply to my posts where I debunk the notion that the results of your geiger counter research are indicative of a health threat.
the mere fact that you don't feel like doing any research on your own tells me you don't really care about the issue as much as you care about ridiculing people and that is sad.
Excuse me, but at least I did look for data and provided the links, showing that your claim that you measured 6-8 times background radiation is indicative of a health risk, is bogus, no matter how you look at it.
Choose to ignore it if you want.
What the hell do you mean ridiculing people. I am not the one on the high horse claiming he did "research" where others suppossedly didn't.
I'll be back later answering other comments directed at me.
Oh, and jeah, I obviously hate nature and mother Earth.

what i know is that you have no idea what you're talking about, it's painfully obvious, you are rude, your attitude is terrible, you're hypocrisy is astonishing and you joined yesterday.
i'll just go ahead and place you on the ignore list since i would do better that way.

Like you said... you are no expert. Give this at least a partial read if you would. The part about the particle of plutonium in living tissue should help you to understand radioactive contamination a little better.

Yes, we all receive radiation during our lifetime. From the ground, the sun, the cosmos, mans ineptness, whatever. Xray, gamma rays, cosmic rays, whatever.
The difference between all that "background" and what we are experiencing from Fukushima is that the "radiation" from Fuku is actually radioactive contamination. That is, sources of "radiation" that if inhaled or ingested become lodged in our bodies and continuously irradiate nearby cells with "ionizing" radiation.
Whereas external radiation like x-rays pass thru us from an "outside our body source", these radioactive nuclides inside our bones and connective tissue are like swallowing a small X-ray machine that you can't turn off. In the case of PU-239, that will take at least 24,000 years and that is just a "half life" of that particular isotope.
If you have read this far, you have learned something about the complexity of radioactive contamination. A wee bit. Learn a little more from those who know before declaring an all clear.
