The 33 "deaths...I'm completely with you! <br /><br />The 33 "deaths" were actually a statistical excercise carried out by the UK government based on the largely discredited LNT model. (see wikipedia) As far as I know no known deaths have been directly or indirectly linked to the Winscale radiation release (or for that matter Three Mile island or Fukushima).<br /><br />The ludicrously high figures I quote are based on preposterous figures bandied about by the anti-nuclear movement regarding Chernobyl. I have merely scaled these for Winscale. I finally point out that the total implausibility of these figures. I hoped to show the hysterical medieval fear mongering that the anti nukes indulge are in have no possible basis in reality. <br /><br />I hope you read all of my post! I'm a little worried you think I actually believe these nonsense figures!BilloTheWisphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16221663524948086557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149751460360426536.post-82949219464691069852015-06-09T09:16:20.059+01:002015-06-09T09:16:20.059+01:00Where do the numbers come from?
