Members RA1 Posted January 7, 2014 Members Posted January 7, 2014 When we have such serious accidents as the Japanese nuclear plant threatening the west coast of the US and perhaps ultimately a significant portion of our and the world's food supply why should a dirty bomb be of much consequence? It will be years before we know the full result of this situation which likely will include cancer and other nasty things from radiation. A small dirty bomb with localized results would be, not a welcome relief, but a relief nonetheless compared to the Japanese accident which is not yet contained and perhaps not even fully extrapolated. I would like to think we have better technology already in hand to build nuclear generating plants and I hope we are not too late in utilizing same. Best regards, RA1 Quote
