Sep 6, 2013 at 22:23 comment added Damon With this back in the news is there a good source of thoughtful analysis of the real situation sans scaremongering? This answer is amazing, but a little out of date

Oct 26, 2011 at 18:07 comment added Chad I would agree that the immediate impact of Chernobyl was far greater. However Fukishima is still leaking radiation into the sea of japan where the currents take it into the pacific. I am truely skeptical of what the government says is "Safe" when ingested. I am unconvinced that we are done seeing the effects of this disaster.

better summary, some clarifications and better language
Apr 17, 2011 at 23:18 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten I can report that Japan sets pretty stringent contained activity limits for those building radioactive sources for scientific use (previously 1 microCurie, now 10,000 Bq). It that is part of a unified policy, one would expect the regulatory limits on acceptable releases to be pretty tight as well.
