The nuclear industry is killing us all off one by one, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autism, immune disorders are ALL epidemic thanks to the radiation that has escaped into our environment that was never supposed to interact with humans. The stuff is meant to remain contained and never interact with humanity… and yet? It is in ALL of us… how safe is it again? Stand up for a safe future for all of humanity- say NO to nuclear power!!!
