I have been collecting a few resources to demonstrate to some folks that travelling to Fukushima in Japan is perfectly safe. Eating fish from there is probably also largely safe, apparently, though I am not much of a fish eater, anyway. I have official travel sites, of course. And I also found...

So I found this video by science communicator Kyle Hill about the aftermath of Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant disaster. 4UHZugCNKA4 Quite interesting, especially the parts where he talks about the Ghosts. There is a book about the phenomena by Richard Llyod Parry called "Ghosts of the...

Apparently there is a California beach that has unusually high radiations levels. If true I believe there should be some signs posted to warn people. I haven't noticed anything about this in the national news...

I have a simple idea that I would like to hear feedback on. Let me admit, right off, that I haven't studied the nuclear reactor geometry in any detail, and this idea depends on such geometric (or layout) conditions. As some of you may know, Fukushima is threatening (or has already begun), to go...

The anti-nuclear lobby has long flirted with fraud and con artistry. Virtually all of the big names in anti-nuclear advocacy (eg Helen Caldicott, David Suzuki, Gordon Edwards, etc...) have engaged in some mild form of fraud for profit. They have no education or experience in the field they talk...

Godlike Productions is screaming that we have reached "the end of the world" because the Fukushima nuclear accident has been declared a "seven". The OP of this Godlike Productions thread (it is not me) research comes from a site called Energy News. The Energy News site offers no explanation of...

For those who either don't follow XKCD or don't look at the stuff around the cartoon, Randall Monroe has put together a characteristically thought-provoking and informative chart of radiation dosages spanning nine orders of magnitude, typical examples, and their effect on the body. In the...
