And here is the webpage for the lawsuit:

Perhaps the content of the study is available somewhere else. I can't find it but I don't have much knowledge about how to do research into ongoing legal cases.

They test drugs before using them on us. We chase all the mills away by cleaning up the air (thank god we don't have to hose shit off the porch daily anymore). Safe water standards.
Living in W PA, this does not make me feel very good about how safe we are supposed to be.

Just like Fukushima left Japan completely uninhabitable forever, this must have lead to the extinction of life in the United States.
This may be the reason so many of the solar PV companies are going out of business world wide.
Everybody died and there's no one left to buy them.
Congratulations on yet another exposure of the billions upon billions upon billions of deaths from nuclear power.
It's something of a suprise, however that the World Health Organization doesn't report on these deaths, although it does report on the 3.3 million air pollution deahts each year.
There's a rumor going around that 7 billion people are constantly exposed to air pollutants, much of it from the so called "renewable energy" that scientifically iliterate anti-nukes are always trying to stick in our lung tissue.
But I'm quite sure that nuclear energy must account for the vast decrease in the population of the planet.
Nobody ever dies ever, unless it's because of nuclear power.

(29,798 posts)They always provide such perfect insight into the reasoning of a mind that supports nuclear power. Most wouldn't believe it if you tried to describe it to them, they too often associate industrial nuclear corporations with science. But you do a wonderful job of illustrating the reality.

(51,076 posts)of what I've been trying to say since day one. You can't trust the nuclear power boys as far as you can throw an elephant. It seems that once they figured out how to harness the power of splitting an atom that was it. Not much study has been done on the down sides of that. If thats true then that would be criminal or should be. According to them there's not been more than a handful of people who have been harmed by that soft green glow where any thinking person can see though that as a lie.
The nuclear power industries MO is to obfuscate and when that doesn't work, out right lie.
