This is a much more balanced assessment of the issues at Fukusima than some of the stuff put on FB of late, and makes sense in terms of my own radiation training. The key statement is that there is no lower dose limit for radiation; lower dose, less risk that is all. However you need to see dose in terms of the background we all live with, mostly natural potassium, some radon, and cosmic rays. Sharing a bed adds about 25% to your dose, living in a granite area may add 100% etc. In the end most cancers are other cause, Id guess well see incidences drift up by a few percent, and victims cant know if theirs was radiation related, or not. The present fuel rod extraction is very necessary. We must all wish it good fortune, if not the numbers will all change … :-/
