No it isn't good at all, but if regulators and the governor stated there is no risk than you can totally trust them. Nuclear shmooklear... what could possibly go wrong?

The last paragraph of course makes you feel really good.

An Associated Press investigation in 2009 showed three-quarters of America's 65 nuclear plant sites have leaked tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen that poses the greatest risk of causing cancer when it ends up in drinking water.

Yeah, like Eric's article from AP said...."they all leak, it's no big deal".....well, they worded it differently but that's the message....'go home, nothing to see here'! :blink000:

When I was going through chemo the nurse would tell me all kinds of facts about it and the one that stuck with me is that about 70% of all people will get some form of cancer . It's in the food we eat , clothes we wear , even the air we breathe , close to 100% manmade...very comforting I told her . But , the ray of sunshine in this story is that 3 out of 4 of these people will go into remission if it's caught early enough...:worthy:

So , get checked...cancer itself is horrible so you can imagine how much worse chemo is because THAT destroys cancer...was not a nice experience...
