Go to japan if your so confident that Fukushima is doom porn

Yes
Nuclear Meltdown vs Nuclear Explosion is still contested but most experts agree on some things
1. A meltdown is at least equivalent to a hundred explosions
2. Nuclear explosions have less total amount, but higher quality, shorter lasting, but more lethal radiation
Point is
No matter the difference, if it was going to destroy the world, there have been MORE than enough "testing" done to have finished us off
So yes
Meltdowns are worse..
Just not worse than the total number of tests by a LONGGGGGGG shot

Shouldn't your rational response to people who say that fukushima is nothing to worry about to people outside of fukushima be:
"Stay in your own country if you are so confident that Fukushima is doom porn"
You just constructed and knocked down a strawman... you don't get to celebrate.
If you get a CAT scan enough you WILL get cancer from it

It is what it is, and whatever it is, it has happened. We can't stop it...
I tend to think that everyone who is hyperventilating now is missing just exactly how much water there is in the ocean as compared to how much is leaving the reactor. So far, it's not good, but it's not a death sentence, either.
The big issue would be another disaster happening before they can really get in a stabilize it. If that happens ... well, it will be what it will be...
But there is very little sense in worrying about it day in and day out.

Well if the events at Fukushima are going to kill us all, why are we not dead already?
"We are just now starting to get our hands on recent data from 2011. It means that we start by looking at the fetus and the newborn because they are the most susceptible to radiation. And we are going to be looking at not just hypothyroidism but at further birth effects: infant deaths, babies were born underweight; babies were born prematurely- things of that nature to see before and after Fukushima if there was a difference. It’s gonna take decades to know what the full casualty list of Fukushima is because sometimes it takes decades, for example, for a cancer to show itself, to manifest itself after the exposure," Joseph Mangano explains to the Voice of Russia’s host Jay Johnson, who conducted the interview.
Recently, Japan has surveyed 200,000 children near the Fukushima plant in 2012 and has found out that 56% of the children under 18 have a precancerous lesions which is absolutely off the charts, as it should be almost none, says Mangano.
"It’s an ongoing study by Fukushima Medical University. They also found as many as 59 kids had thyroid cancer and that’s a condition that’s very rare in kids. We would expect in three years maybe one or two. They confirmed 26 and they suspect another 33. So, this is just the beginning. As a research community we really need to look at this terrible meltdown seriously and do all the studies on the continuing basis," Joseph Mangano said.
