Hi Broken_Clock; Re: "You're reacting and spouting off about something you know nothing about."; Nice try, LOL. Here's an idea for you to use to scare yourself even further: (1) Look up how much Bq of radiation was released in Japan. Or use the figure in curies or whatever. (2) Convert that into number of decays per second. You may have to use google to find the definition of Bq etc. (3) Divide that number by the number of cubic yards of water in all the world's oceans. The number you'll get will be the number of radioactive decays per second, in the average cubic yard of sea water (assuming that the radioactive elements stay in solution which is not a terribly bad approximation) that is due to the nuclear accidents in Japan. Do I think that the result of this will be a small number? No, I know enough about numbers to know that the result you will calculate will scare the hell out of you. You'll have a field day! You'll love this result! Maybe you can convince your children to sterilize themselves, LOL. So go do it. All it takes is google and a pocket calcualtor. And it might be useful to know how to use scientific notation, LOL as these are big numbers. Now you go do that calculation and I'll discuss it with you. But am I going to discuss science with a lazy turd that isn't willing to go to any effort to actually understand things? No way. Go on. Quit wasting your time reading this post. Go do the calculation. -- Carl
