    Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

    It’s just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

    Now, it’s not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

    But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

      How many average coal plants per Chernobyl though. I suspect that number is surprising lower than the total number of coal plants.
