16. Again... Nope.

You perceive it as a personal attack... but it's just the truth. Too much of this stuff has been way over your head and you've chosen to make up your own reality to deal with it. I'm under no obligation to enter that "reality"... only to try to help you out of it.

Real science people admit that Fukushima is without precedence and will require much research before conclusions can be made.

They most certainly do not. There's LOTS of research yet to do... but that does NOT mean that nothing can be stated conclusively.

The plume, in just a few days, had spread over 80 kilometers.

Again... you don't understand what you're reading. It took FAR less than a "few days" for the plume to spread 80 km. There's no connection between how far the radiation had traveled and State's guidelines. Try looking up "abundance of caution". It's another country where we don't have access to data - so we they were overcautious. Big deal.

But I bet you read that as the US government "knowing" that anyone within 80 km was in danger. Didn't you?
