  17. The other thing about a lot of this is that radiation is not well understood by people. There are several things to think about. 1. The radiation from for example, uranium, is different from its chemical toxicity. Uranium is a heavy metal like lead, and we know what lead does from the Flint water crisis. Uranium chemically is toxic to people if they get it on or in their bodies, as separate from the radioativity. 2. When they say that something has a very-long half life, that means it is not giving off that much radiation, it decays slowly. Think of a big tank with a hole in it. The amount of radiation is the water inside. If the water is leaking from a small hole, it has a long half-life A water leak is different from radiation because it is linear pretty much and radiation is exponential. 3. When they say something is very radioactive, it means it is giving off a lot of radiation, and decays fast. That is why the half-life is likely to be short. For some elements that can mean seconds. 4. Then there is the effect on the human body of radiation. This is still not that well understood, or at least publicly explained. There is radiation from radioactive stuff outside your body, and there is radiation from radioactive stuff inside your body. For example iodine from fallout lands in a field and a cow eats the grass and that grass is turned into milk and a human drinks it and it is absorbed into possible causing some common cancers: Adrenal cancer risk is especially high in people who had the medullary type of thyroid cancer. Patients treated with radioactive iodine also have an increased risk of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), stomach cancer, and salivary gland cancer. Nuclear is not the total disaster we all have been led to believe. I say that not because I take it lightly, there is a huge global mess to clean up from careless and incompetent use and handling of radiactive materials, but it can be handled safely.
