Operator of Japan's wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant prepares to restart another plant

8. Link #1 to information that will not change the mind of any member of the Fukushima cult.

I apologize that it's not from some dumb shit antinuke sociologist handing out conspiracy theories, but rather from the primary scientific literature but it is what it is.

The number of radiation related deaths, for one example of a public festival of ignorance, Fukushima, is reported in this paper (by a set of scientists whose whole scientific life is connected to studying the effects of radiation at Fukushima:

Comparison of mortality patterns after the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant radiation disaster and during the COVID-19 pandemic ( Motohiro Tsuboi et al 2022 J. Radiol. Prot. 42 031502)

It's open sourced, but an excerpt is relevant:

However, in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant(FDNPP) accident, no direct health hazards due to radiation, such as acute radiation injury, were observed, while various indirect health effects were reported even in the acute phase [2, 3]. Major health effects are attributed to the initial emergency evacuation and displacement, deterioration of the shelter environment, evacuation from nursing homes, and psychological and social health effects. In addition, there were also the effects of medical collapse, where lives that could normally be saved by medical care could not be saved due to a lack of medical resources [4, 5]. It is known that these effects are particularly susceptible to the socially vulnerable [6].

.

I added the bold.

Now the rest of the cited text - some of these authors live and work in Fukushima and have always done so; their institution is Fukushima Medical University, Fukushima City, Japan - indicates that the fear of radiation killed people, but radiation itself didn't. By the way, this group has published hundreds of papers on the topic.

It's easy to find these hundreds of papers, and papers like them, if one steps out the circle jerk of antinukes citing each other to spread ignorance.

I fully realize however, that this link to scientific information will not impress any members of a dogmatic cult, because no amount of information can address a cult or the dogma it hands out.

It's a waste of time to try to educate the uneducable.

The next link, if I bother with the useless exercise of trying to educate the uneducable, will be from a Nature journal, a publication from 2023, which calculates the number of people who will be killed in the United States by a nuclear phaseout, breaking them down by ethnicity and economic class.
