It Sounds Crazy, But Fukushima, Chernobyl, And Three Mile Island Show Why Nuclear Is Inherently Safe forbes.com/sites/michaels…
Radiation exposure over extended periods of time did not increase but reduced cancers, contradicting the LNT model. x-lnt.org/evidence

Sounds like something Alex Jones could have come up with. But since this conspiracy theory is ideologically aligned with the anti-nuclear hysteria of many academics and environmentalists, it is uncritically accepted. forbes.com/sites/michaels…
"Nuclear power is the safest form of energy...Chernobyl in 1986, the result of extraordinary Soviet bungling, which killed 31 in the accident and perhaps several thousand from cancer, around the same number killed by coal emissions every day." nytimes.com/2019/04/06/opi…

There are 70 advanced nuclear reactor projects underway in the United States. These designs use new types of fuel or coolant that cannot melt down.

440 reactors producing electricity in their fourth to sixth decade of service...100s more power ships & submarines...just 3 accidents...No one has called for closing chemical plants—even though there have been far more fatal chemical plant accidents. democracyjournal.org/arguments/a-19…
There are ~2,000 research publications on the subject of radiation hormesis, showing hormetic effects. Investigators in this field have estimated that the optimum radiation hormesis level is about 100 mSv/y.

"The leak released up to 100 times the amount of radiation into the atmosphere that the Fukushima disaster did...the radiation level wasn’t high enough to impact human health in Europe." newscientist.com/article/221151…
"When food, like these strawberries, is treated with radiation, it destroys disease-carrying bacteria and reduces the chances of food-borne illnesses, all while keeping the same taste, texture, and look. It also doesn’t leave any sort of radiation residues!" via @iaeaorg
