3. So your point is that 260 as many times people DIED from the Simi Valley Accident as Died From Three
Mile Island?

Does that mean that 260 Harriburg populations were totally completely decidmated?

How come there were 118,227 people still living there as of 2005?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simi_Valley,_California

Are they all radioactive mutants?

This is pretty typical of anti-nukes, making a huge, big deal out of scare mongering piece of bull that is decades old for which they cannot establish a single health effect.

There are, of course, ZERO anti-nukes who give a rat's ass about the 1.6 million people the World Health Organization reported last year as dying from indoor air pollution, largely caused by burning biomass.

Because imaginary deaths decades ago that they claimed were "covered up."

By contrast, there's no "cover up" of the dead each year from air pollution associated with burning wood, cow shit, pig shit, horseshit, straw, etc, etc, etc.

In fact the World Health Organization would love it if anyone probably including hysterial uneducated anti-nukes would give a rat's ass about the topic, and so put it right on their website: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs292/en/index.html

More than half of the world’s population rely on dung, wood, crop waste or coal to meet their most basic energy needs. Cooking and heating with such solid fuels on open fires or stoves without chimneys leads to indoor air pollution. This indoor smoke contains a range of health-damaging pollutants including small soot or dust particles that are able to penetrate deep into the lungs. In poorly ventilated dwellings, indoor smoke can exceed acceptable levels for small particles in outdoor air 100-fold. Exposure is particularly high among women and children, who spend the most time near the domestic hearth. Every year, indoor air pollution is responsible for the death of 1.6 million people - that's one death every 20 seconds.


Similarly, the http://atom.kaeri.re.kr/">Table of Nuclides is on the internet, where it is available to anyone who gives a rat's ass about nuclear science, the science that anti-nukes hate much like creationists hate molecular biology, genetics and paleontology.

In fact, the half life of Iodine-131 is still the same as it was when the Simi Valley was allegedly, according to people who hate the science about which they know nothing wiped out and rendered sterile forever in 1959, according to the dumb shit anti-nuke David Lochbaum: 8.02070 days.

Have a nice selective attention oil soaked coal ash soaked oblivious day.
