    OK… So lets go start bottling up that water around the plant and start selling it as vitamin water. Maybe Wolfgang Weiss would be the first customer?? Yeah Right!!!

    Mr. Weiss merely has a Master’s degree in physics. He is neither a radiological health expert, nor a nuclear physicist. He’s not even a nuclear engineer. He is a promoter of “next generation” fuel research, development and promotion. He was heavily involved in California’s massive taxpayer drain for the “hydrogen highway” that went nowhere. He should go back to work on renewables and stop making irresponsible statements he knows nothing about. UC Berkeley found cesium in the Bay Area milk in addition to iodine. Children should not drink it or eat concentrated cheese and butter as it accumulates quickly in their thyroids. Everyone’s risk is not the same. There is no “safe dose” threshold.

    These people have zero credibility.

    This is about protecting the nuclear industry and making proof of causation of damages more difficult. It’s not about abating hysteria. There was no problem instilling hysteria when the pharmaceutical industry stood to make billions over H1N1.

    There is no scientific consensus on this situation – which is the real scary part. No one knows.
