Nuclear Power is too Safe

Notes from Japan:

And four prefectures have been told not to sell spinach, while one has been told not to sell milk. According to ABC, “Spinach from one farm in Hitachi, a town 45 miles away from the plant, contained 27 times the amount of iodine and four times the amount of cesium that is considered safe.” And milk from a farm eighteen miles away had levels of iodine seventeen times too high.

All those worrywarts with their worrying about the safety of nuclear power. Clearly, like bombing things, the fact that nuclear power released all manner of horrors on Japan isn't evidence that nuclear power isn't our best option.
