Nuclear versus coal

Nope. I can't agree. We are talking about things that don't exist on the sun.
And while it can take years for us to get sick, everybody forgets there are other life forms that cannot survive the exposure levels we can.
You do not eat sunlight in its raw form.
There are no safe levels. One active particle that you eat or breath in can harm you...drastically.
Like I said. The stuff does not care how smart we think we are, what failsafes we can conjure up in our minds, how lucky we think we can be, nothing. It's what it does. Like the Terminator.
I drove my '18 Ram 115,000 miles in a little over a year. In days gone by I would have had to clean billions of bugs off the windshield and hood area. There were so few this year that the ratio would work out close to zero.

What are these “things” and “stuff” you are talking about?

Just out of curiosity, you said you were a “nuc”, what field of nuclear power did you work in? Sounds like you might be on the theoretical side of things?
