A colleague from Japan passed along this presentation on nuclear power:
Understanding the Radioactivity at Fukashima by Prof. Ben Monreal, UCSB Dept. of Physics
I think one of the important points is the exposure over time principle along with accurate reporting. This is what makes the entire nuclear crisis in Japan concerning to me.
The one example that Prof. Monreal shows in the presentation caught my attention at the time for the same reasons he presents.
In addition, radioactive contamination of the soil and the relation to agriculture are of interest to me. I have still not drawn a conclusion regarding the effect on agriculture in Japan, which has experienced many issues over the years.
