I believe one of those damaged reactors in Japan used Plutonium in normal operation. I also believe the spent fuel holding ponds at this sight contain Plutonium. If that Plutonium escapes into the air, we are talking numbers of deaths in Biblical proportions.
What? Me worry? When it’s my time to go, it’s my time to go. Far be it from me to have a say so in the matter. I’m not going to step in front of a speeding truck, but I’m not going to cower in a bomb shelter either.
