This is an ongoing amazement to me since 2011 to see so many people worldwide visiting my site starting when I first advocated Crowd Sourcing of Radiation readings by everyday people in Japan then of all nationalities so people would be less worried about eating radiation, drinking radiation, and walking on and breathing radiation. Also, my dentists daughter who was teaching English in Japan then got thyroid Cancer from being there during the Fukushima incident. I wonder just how many people "Americans" and Japanese got thyroid Cancer in the initial radiation exposure from Fukushima? She is okay now and recovered from her thyroid operation. What has happened to all the many many others?
If some of you feel inclined maybe you could do research to see how many got cancer from Fukushima and how many are still alive after that? It would be an interesting thing to know about because Fukushima even spilled radiated water recently into the ocean because of flooding nearby.
The problem of ongoing radiation leakage into the ocean is going to keep on happening for about 25,000 to 50,000 years from the location of Fukushima. Once you have a meltdown (there were 3 there) you are going to have this problem for thousands of years anywhere near the ocean like Fukushima.
Note: One of the three meltdowns was reprocessing weapons grade Plutonium. This is one of the 3 meltdowns there and why 25,000 years (the half life of weapons grade plutonium) or 50,000 years (1/2 the radiation after 25,000 years for another 25,000 years) is completely realistic and an ongoing problem for Japan and the whole world. Because even though Chernobyl was the worst (all in the first week or two), Japan will be the worst over time because of radiation periodically leaking into the ocean from rusting radiation water tanks over time and the meltdowns down into the water tables which drain into the ocean. end note.
So, even though many countries (like Germany and the State of California) and others have stopped working on any more nuclear power plants and are working to close or have closed all existing plants since Fukushima, any other nuclear power plants on rivers or oceans are an ongoing potential threat in earthquakes and extreme floods to the whole world eventually. And here's a thought: Notice that the ice covered north and south pole didn't start to melt until radiation got into the oceans in the 1940s and 1950s from scuttling nuclear powered ships and submarines worldwide and nuclear tests and Hiroshima and Nagasaki. So, scuttled nuclear powered ships as they become obsolete or radiation hazards or through mishaps also likely contributes to the melting of the ice caps as currents flow worldwide.
So, even though it is easier to cool a nuclear power plant on a river or an ocean, in the end it just means that whatever radiation gets loose it goes worldwide on all the connecting oceans on earth as the rivers flow to the sea and the oceans recirculate all over the globe.
Also, solar power and wind power is much more cost efficient than oil or nuclear when you figure in the danger to present and future human and animal and fish life. Imagine eating fish from radiated water on the ocean or in a stream which would cause various kinds of mutations to fish and to anything that consumed the fish over time.
Now imagine if technology doesn't exist 10,000 years in the future maybe because of an ice age "Snowball Earth" scenario and thousands of people are still dying from Fukushima and Chernobyl even then even though then they might be living like Native Americans in Alaska worldwide were in the 1800s worldwide then.
