Japan Nuke Plant Accident Kills 4 People
http://apnews.myway.com/article/20040809/D84BPIPO0.html
Has NOTHING to do with nuclear power per se. IT was a steam leak and at NO
time was anyone in danger from a "nuclear accident" but the PRESS once
again whips the fervor.
The article concludes:
"A string of safety problems and attempted cover-ups since then has
undermined public faith in nuclear energy."
Gee, I can't imagine why they would want to cover these accidents up with
headlines like this.
And then:
"In the most recent before Monday, eight workers were exposed to low-level
radiation at a power plant in February when they were accidentally sprayed
with contaminated water. The doses were not considered dangerous."
Definitions people. Definitions.
"Exposed to low-level radiation"? We are all exposed to this EVERY DAY and
it has nothing to do with man-made nuclear energy.
"Contaminated water"? What does that mean? Did someone pee in the pool?
And then the coup de gravity, "The doses were not considered dangerous."
Well, I don't know why they report this. I'm beginning to think that
Michael Moore was partly right on a couple of things he might have said.
