When Radiation Isn’t the Real Risk
Four years after the nuclear accident at Fukushima, no one has been killed or sickened by radioactivity. But 1,600 died fleeing the disaster."We’re bad at balancing risks, we humans, and we live in a world of continual uncertainty. Trying to avoid the horrors we imagine, we risk creating ones that are real."
Some of us keep trying to get the balance right.
Others are trying to get an income.
Others incomes are much less important than real risks.
