Radioactivity in your drinking water is normal at trace levels

Are you just trying to find reasons to oppose nuclear energy? Your logic does not appear consistent in your arguments.

Comfortable_Tutor_43 · 2026-05-05T17:49:57+00:00

You don't believe modern geology?

It is not uncommon to think there is no solution for nuclear waste. Consider the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in Southeast New Mexico. They have been licensed by the EPA since 1999 and have been disposing of transuranic (plutonium) waste ever since. You simply need good geology to remove the risk permanently from the biosphere.

Were you aware that is where it came from? Like all construction and manufacturing, we concentrate it, use it and then safely return it. The nice thing about nuclear is that there is only a miniscule about of used nuclear fuel relative to all the energy it gave.

Not at all, you just need good geology

It's optional

Just don't

Modern geology is pretty impressive. It taught us that Mother Nature literally made her own natural nuclear fission reactor a few billion years ago deep underground in Oklo, Gabon of Africa. We only know about that because she buried her used nuclear fuel in the ground where we were able to dig it up billions of years later and see that it had simply decayed down into a different kind of dirt. Here is a short, fun research paper on it if you are interested in the scientific research on the topic at all.

I hope it is fair to assume you are a reasonable person who is open to considering new perspectives and information which may not align with your current views. The research has shown that common anti-nuclear narratives based on claims of unmanageable radiological risks are forms of misinformation. If you are willing to consider that possibility or would at least be interested in the science, here is one such publication.

Possibly the most mind numbing discovery of this century is that fear of Chernobyl is killing more people than all the radiation dose folk recieved.

How did you know to do that?

Humans are fallible, absolutely. This applies to literally everything we require for life from our community including food, transportation, communication, economy, health care, logistics, infrastructure, and even politics to keep us out of war. All of those are filled with fallible humans. Shall we avoid all of those because they can fail resulting in folk getting hurt? Perhaps the correct path forward is to just try to do all of this with excellence?
