How many of you drive 50 year old cars or trucks. Well, the same is pretty much true of nuclear power plants too worldwide. There are just so many band aids you can put on something and make it still work before it just isn't safe (under any conditions) anymore.
So, it might be important to check the Nuclear power plants around you to know when they were built. Because at a certain point having a geiger counter is important to your life and the lives of your children worldwide. Because water or food grown nearby could be contaminated with radiation. And one particle of radiated dust that you breathe in could kill you within 20 years in your lungs for example, like it did John Wayne who made a cowboy movie downwind of a nuclear test site. So, if you ingest through eating something radiated or drink something radiated and that particle stays in your body it could also eventually become fatal to you or to a member of your family worldwide.
For example, Fukushima Nuclear power plant is going to be leaking radiated water from 3 meltdowns into the water table and through the water table into the oceans for the next 25,000 to 50,000 years because one of those meltdowns was them reprocessing nuclear weapons grade plutonium. Since literally all of the major oceans on earth are interconnected this means that radiation will be mixing in the oceans all during that time, fish will be eating other fish that are radiated to one degree or another and people will be eating those fish that are radiated to a greater or lesser degree in Japan and around the world during the next 25,000 to 50,000 years too.
Note: You know there is literally radiation in everything since Hiroshima and Nagasaki right. For example, the way the check for things like fake Rembrandts is by looking for radiation in the pigment. This is true. So, you know that all of us and all water and food and dirt and everything on the surface of the earth has some radiation in it now since Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it's just how much? So, mostly at this point we try to keep our doses of radiation as low as possible.
For example, the people that get the most radiation from Cosmic Rays for example, are Airline pilots and stewards and Stewardesses which is a different type of radiation but also a problem people have to deal with in their lives worldwide. But, you are getting some radiation from Cosmic rays every time you fly at 30,000 feet or above. And the higher you are above sea level the more Cosmic Ray radiation you will receive too, especially with a very degraded Magnetosphere since around the year 2000 AD. which now has serious cracks in our magnetosphere all over.
However, it is also true that people all over the world are genetically adapting to dealing with more radiation in their environment too. What this means is people with genetics sensitive to radiation have already died out along with their genetics. So, more and more the people still alive have more tolerance for radiation worldwide in their genetics. This includes nuclear radiation and Cosmic Ray radiation as well.
Also, increased Cosmic Ray radiation will mutate our genetics over time as well as all animal and bird species living on the surface of earth over hundreds and thousands of years into our future. What we will mutate towards is debatable at present.
