    Yes, the ignorance is mainly caused by governments and lobbies keeping quiet about what actually happened and washing down data

      More like, ignorance caused by my local news deciding to run a story telling people there is a controversy, without making a simple statement like the water is less radioactive than a banana. There’s a controversy in part because the media encourages it, at almost every opportunity.

        If you believe it’s safer than a banana why don’t you go living in Futaba? I heard the houses are pretty cheap there

      Most folks, including nuclear advocates, have little understanding of either fission products or neutron activation. They really have no need to. I don’t think the data isn’t there if you look for it though. It’s just not simple to understand.
