Chernobyl was a reactor literally exploding, sending radioactive debris all over the place not to mention large pieces of the reactor core outside of the facility, this is a meltdown so far, it's different

If this were the case, there would be no Ukraine. This is being compared as not being as bad as Chernobyl, but worse than 3 mile island. Back in high school I did a report on Chernobyl. The site is just deemed as being radioactive. I'm sure, this is what's going to happen in Japan. But most certainly this map, is not a logical explaination of the nuclear fallout. :dumbass:

Half life specifically refers to more than 1 atom. It's the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay to stable forms.

yeah it prevents your thyroid from exposure somehow

it doesn't protect from other types of cancer

It fills your thyroid so it can't be filled by a radioactive isotope which seems to be a pretty major killer in nuclear accidents (thyroid cancer)

it makes it so your body absorbs less radiation since your thyroid is overwhelmed by the iodide.

It gives the thyroid a flood of stable iodine, so it doesn't make use of radioactive iodine isotopes, leaving them to be filtered out.

Because Americans (especially the media) thrive off fear.

Let's put this into perspective right now... The highest recorded radiation level at Fukushima 1 to date is 1000 mSv/hr. Eating 1 banana will give you about a .0001 mSv dose. Some areas of Chernobyl immediately after the explosion were around the 300,000 mSv level. There's honestly nothing to worry about in terms of radiation on the west coast.



Totally what I was thinking. I just want to know why, people are freaking out, and going out in NEW MEXICO and buying iodide pills!

Sounds pretty sane to me :shrug:
Though if I could afford it I would have a small stockpile of food and water.

There is a lot more spent fuel rods at this plant, something on the line of over 600,000.  If the cooling pools dry up and catch fire the amount of radioactive material would easily top what was released at Chernobyl.  Not to mention the fact that the cooling pools were located near the top of the reactor buildings and likely went up with the explosions. 

I think there is A LOT we are not being told, just like how the Soviet Union tried to hide what happened at Chernobyl until radiation was detected in Eastern Europe. 
Then there is this.


I am just repeating what I've seen on some alternative news sites so you may want to take it with a grain of salt.

I think people have gotten confused because for the first couple days the Japanese government was really playing down the severity of the risks.  The news was saying that this couldn't be a Chernobyl then because things had not gotten this out of control.  It's a different story now and there is enough radioactive material at Fukushima to cause another Chernobyl or worse if they don't get this under control, which doesn't look very likely to me.
