Just Stop Oil protests

Fukushima? The Japanese ignored numerous safety guidelines and warnings from the Americans. They didn't turn off the reactor when the tsunami was expected to hit, built the reactor on a faultline, but here's the big kicker; nobody is expected to die from any radiation emitted from the reactor at Fukushima.

Nobody. Not one. The radiation didn't "cross the ocean" like the media claimed at the time, the food is not contaminated. It's been an expensive clearup, yes, but human cost? Nothing reported thus far. Environmental cost? Neglible, if any. They were quick to isolate any hazards. The main issue NEST teams have established was the fact an expensive reactor can't be used any more.

well apart from that worker who strangely died of cancer. The effects won't happen for any decade or so

Which requires more study and investment, which is part of the whole nuclear industry, which currently uses fission.

So you want to invest in the development of nuclear fusion by NOT currently investing in the nuclear industry, which has stated needs fission to get fusion off the ground?

which requires more scientists which these protesters could be if they wanted to. Pick up a book and actually do something about it, rather than piss the public off

where did I say I don't want to invest in nuclear. You're making things up

Effects of radiation sickness are immediately detectable. No deaths from acute radiation sickness have been reported or are expected. The Japanese Government immediately issued iodine tablets to the citizens and cordoned off the entire area. Unlike Chernobyl, where the Soviets said everything was fine, exposing thousands.

You're willing to invest in a non-clean energy source then?

erm fusion is completely clean.

Just Stop Oil are against nuclear energy though. And no book has yet been written that states a more efficient energy source than that we already use now.

How much of the radioactive waste produced has such a half life?

Clue: it's less than 1% of all produced.

PS. do you have a long term solution?

ok so 1% of 50,000 tonnes is only 500 tonnes of high risk waste to get rid of. percentage terms is a stupid argument

because they are idiots

No, there is still some radioactive waste produced. It's just nothing like what fission energy produces.
