The US has been contaminating the world with Caesium 137 from Nuclear Weapons Testing, so it is just getting back a part of what they put into our environment:

948 PBq of Cs-137 was created by nuclear weapons testing. 603 PBq landed in the oceans. 310.6 PBq of that landed in the Pacific Ocean. Due to Cs-137's half-life of 30 years, by the time of Fukushima there was still 99.8 PBq in the Pacific. It is estimated Fukushima released 15~30 PBq of Cs-137. So Fukushima increased the Cs-137 content of the Pacific Ocean by 15~30%.

I'm sure the marine life in the Pacific appreciate the justification.

This misses the point. The Caesium 137 from past bomb tests is evenly spread through the Pacific. The Caesium 137 from Fukushima, at least for a considerable time, was concentrated off the coast of Japan, where it could enter the local food chain in much higher concentrations.

It is all bullshit anyway.

The amounts of radiation coming from Fukushima are miniscule. Chernobyl produced far more radiation and far more radioactive isotopes, and its effects have been very limited. There is a 30 km exclusion radius around the Chernobyl plant, and 95% of that area is now an extremely successful wildlife refuge, with only a tiny area centred on the plant where radiation levels are harmful. There are even unmutated catfish living in the cooling ponds of the power plant itself.

Anyone who thinks the tiny amounts of radiation from Fukushima are going to cause harm thousands of kms away needs to rethink their illogic.

Thousands of km away, sure, I agree with you.

But it did produce radiation levels in local seafood well beyond safe limits, and will for years.

If MiM were still around we'd get a professional opinion, something that is certainly not forthcoming from any of the three links in the OP.

True, this...

But I'm certain I remember reading credible reports after the disaster which showed local fish had raised levels of radiation, to the point where they should not be consumed.

There is nothing more exaggerated in this world than the dangers of radiation.

Chernobyl is the worst nuclear accident this planet has seen, and it is mostly a fizzer. Greenpeace predicted literally millions of deaths from cancer. But the latest epidemiological report from the Ukraine is that there was no measurable increase in cancer rates at all, except for thyroid cancer. There were 6,000 extra cases, and 16 deaths. Based on these figures, the Chernobyl accident killed less than 60 people. By comparison, the worst hydroelectric accident (Banqiao dam burst in China in the 1970's) killed nearly 200,000 people and made 11 million homeless.

Fukushima is living up to the normal level of bullshit. This accident killed 3 people, all from industrial accidents, nothing nuclear. And it will probably cause no further deaths at all. Yet it is being held up as a major disaster. In my view, people are stooopid!

Does not.

The point is the Merkins are complaining about an accident when they did this deliberately.
